Filling the Fuel Tank

Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dustyconditions where airborne material cancontaminate the fuel.

CAUTION: Contaminated fuelmay cause damage to fuel

system components.

Fill the fuel tank slowly to help preventspillage. Do not fill the tank to a level abovethe bottom of the filler neck. This will ensurethere is enough air space to allow for fuelexpansion if the fuel inside the tank expandsthrough absorption of heat from the engineor from direct sunlight.

After refuelling always check that the fuelfiller cap is correctly closed and locked.

WARNING: Overfilling thetank can lead to fuel spillage.

If petrol (fuel) is spilled, thoroughlywipe off the spilled fuel immediatelyand dispose of the cleaning clothsafely.

Take care not to spill any petrol (fuel)on the engine, exhaust pipes, tyres orany other part of the motorcycle.

Because petrol (fuel) is highlyflammable, any fuel leak or spillage,or any failure to observe the safetyadvice given above will lead to a firehazard which could cause damage toproperty, injury to persons or death.

Petrol (fuel) spilled near to or on thetyres will reduce the tyre’s ability togrip the road. This will give rise to adangerous riding condition causingloss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

RUNNING IN

Running-in is the name given to the processthat occurs during the first hours of a newvehicle’s operation.

Inparticular, internal friction in the enginewillbe higher when components are new. Lateron, when continued operation of the enginehas ensured that the components have‘bedded in’, this internal friction will begreatly reduced.

A period of careful running in will ensurelower exhaust emissions, and will optimiseperformance, fuel economy and longevity ofthe engine and other motorcyclecomponents.

During the first 500miles (800 kilometres):--

S Do not use full throttle.

S Avoid high engine speeds at alltimes.

S Avoid riding at one constant enginespeed, whether fast or slow, for along period of time.

S Avoid aggressive starts, stops, andrapid accelerations, except in anemergency.

S Do not ride at speeds greater than3/4 of maximum speed.

From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to 1500kilometres):--

S Engine speed can gradually beincreased to the rev limit for shortperiods.

Both during and after running in has beencompleted:--

S Do not over--rev the engine whencold.

S Do not let the engine labour. Alwaysdownshift before the engine beginsto ‘struggle’.

S Do not ride with engine speedsunnecessarily high. Changing up agear helps reduce fuel consumption,reduces noise and helps to protectthe environment.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGH SPEED OPERATION


operated within the legal speed limitsfor the particular road travelled.Operating a motorcycle at highspeeds can be potentially dangeroussince the time available to react togiven traffic situations is greatlyreduced as road speed increases.Always reduce speed inconsideration of weather and trafficconditions.



High speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous and willlead to lossofmotorcycle control andan accident.

WARNING: The items listedare extremely important and

must never be neglected. A problemwhich may not be noticed at normaloperating speeds may be greatlyexaggerated at high speeds.

WARNING: The handlingcharacteristics of a

motorcycle at high speed may varyfrom those you are familiar with atlegal road speeds. Do not attempthighspeedoperationunlessyouhavereceived sufficient training and havethe required skills as a seriousaccident may result from incorrectoperation.

Steering

Check that the handlebar turns smoothlywithout excessive free play or tight spots.Ensure that the control cables do not restrictthe steering in any way.

Luggage:Make certain that any luggage containersare closed, locked and securely fitted to themotorcycle.

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes arefunctioning properly.

Tyres

High speed operation is hard on tyres, andgood tyres are crucial for riding safely.Examine their overall condition, inflate to thecorrect pressure (when the tyres are cold),and check the wheel balance. Securely fitthe valve caps after checking tyrepressures. Observe the information given inmaintenance and specification sections ontyre checking and tyre safety.


Page 44

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuelconsumption that will result from high speedoperation.

Engine Oil

Make certain that the oil level is correct.Ensure that the correct grade and type of oilis used when topping--up.

Coolant

Check that the coolant level is at the upperlevel line in the expansion tank. (Alwayscheck the level with the engine cold).

Electrical Equipment

Make certain that the headlight, rear/brakelight, turn signals, horn etc., all workproperly.

MiscellaneousMake certain that all fixings are tight and thatall safety related parts are in good condition.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Page 45

The addition of accessories and carriage ofadditional weight can affect themotorcycle’shandling characteristics causing changes instability and necessitating a reduction inspeed. The following information has beenprepared as a guide to the potential hazardsof adding accessories to a motorcycle andcarrying passengers and additional loads.

WARNING: Incorrect loadingmay result in an unsafe riding

condition leading to an accident.

Always ensure any loads carried areevenly distributed on both sides ofthe motorcycle. Ensure that the loadis correctly secured such that it willnot move around while themotorcycle is in motion.

Always check the load securityregularly (though not while themotorcycle is in motion) and ensurethat the load does not extend beyondthe rear of the motorcycle.

Never exceed the maximum vehicleloading weight of 207 Kg (455 lbs).

This maximum weight is made upfromthecombinedweightof the rider,passenger and any load carried.

WARNING: Do not installaccessories or carry luggage

that impairs the control of themotorcycle. Make sure that you havenot adversely affected any lightingcomponent, road clearance, bankingcapability (i.e. lean angle), controloperation, wheel travel, front forkmovement, visibility in any direction,or any other aspect of themotorcycle’s operation.

WARNING: Never ride anaccessory equipped

motorcycle at speeds above the legalsped limit or at a speed inappropriatefor the circumstances.

Speeds in excess of 130 km/h (80mph) should not be attempted on anaccessory equippedmotorcycle evenwhere the legal speed limit permitsthis.

The presence of accessories willcause changes in the stability andhandling of the motorcycle.

Failure to allow for changes inmotorcycle stability may lead to lossof control or an accident.

Remember that the 130km/h (80mph)absolute limit will be reduced by thefitting of non--approved accessories,incorrect loading, worn tyres, overallmotorcycle condition and poor roador weather conditions.



High speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous and willlead to lossofmotorcycle control andan accident.

WARNING: Your passengershould be thoroughly familiar

with motorcycle operation.

The passenger can cause loss ofcontrol of themotorcycle by incorrectpositioning during cornering andsudden movements.

It is important that the passenger sitsstill while the motorcycle is in motionand does not interfere with theoperation of the motorcycle.

If a passenger is carried, the ridershould instruct thepassenger tokeephis or her feet on the passengerfootrests and to firmly hold onto theseat strap or the rider’s waist or hips.

The passenger should also beadvised to lean with the rider whentravelling in corners and not to leanunless the rider does so.

Do not carry animals on yourmotorcycle.

WARNING: The handling andbraking capabilities of a

motorcycle will be affected by thepresence of a passenger. The ridermust make allowances for thesechanges when operating themotorcycle with a passenger andshould not attempt such operationunless trained to do so and withoutbecoming familiar and comfortablewith the changes in motorcycleoperating characteristics that thisbrings about.

Motorcycle operation withoutmakingallowances for the presence of apassenger could lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING: Do not carry apassenger unless he or she is

tall enough to reach the footrestsprovided.

A passenger who is not tall enough toreach the footrests will be unable tosit securely on the motorcycle andmay cause instability leading to lossof control and an accident.

WARNING: Never attempt tostore any items between the

frame and the fairing. This canrestrict the steering and will causeloss of control leading to an accident.

Weight attached to the handlebar orfront forkwill increase themassof thesteering assembly and can result inloss of steering control leading to anaccident.

• Stop the engine and check the oillevel. Adjust if necessary.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil

To protect the environment, do not pour oilon the ground, down sewers or drains, orinto water courses. Dispose of used oilsensibly. If in doubt contact your localauthority.

CAUTION: Triumph highperformance fuel injected

engines are designed to use 10W/40or 15W/50 semi or fully syntheticmotorcycle engine oil which meetsspecification API SH (or higher) ANDJASO MA.

Do not add any chemical additives tothe engine oil. The engine oil alsolubricates the clutch and anyadditives could cause the clutch toslip.

Do not use mineral, vegetable,non--detergent oil, castor based oilsor any oil not conforming to therequired specification. The use ofthese oils may cause instant, severeengine damage.

Ensure no foreign matter enters thecrankcase during an oil change ortop--up.

COOLINGSYSTEM

To ensure efficientengine cooling,check the coolant level each day beforeriding themotorcycle, and top up the coolantif the level is low.

Corrosion Inhibitors

To protect the cooling system fromcorrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitorchemicals in the coolant is essential.

If coolant containing corrosion and rustinhibitor chemicals is not used, the coolingsystemwill accumulate rust and scale in thewater jacket and radiator. This will block thecoolant passages, and considerably reducethe efficiency of the cooling system.

WARNING: Use coolantmixture containing corrosion

inhibitors and anti--freeze suitable foraluminium engines and radiators.Always use the anti--freeze inaccordance with the instructions ofthe manufacturer.

Coolant mixture which contains anti--freeze and corrosion inhibitorscontains toxic chemicals which areharmful to the human body. Neverswallow anti--freeze or any of themotorcycle coolant.

Coolant LevelInspection

• Position the motorcycle on levelground and in an upright position.

• Turn the steering to full right lock.

• The coolant level in the expansiontank can be checked by lookingthrough the gap between the righthand fork and the instrument panel onthe right hand side of the motorcycle.

• Check the coolant level in theexpansion tank. The coolant levelmust be between the ‘MAX’ (upperline) and ‘MIN’ (lower line) marks. Ifthe coolant is below the minimumlevel, the coolant level must beadjusted.

Coolant LevelAdjustment

• Allow the engine to cool.

WARNING: Do not removethe expansion tank cap when

the engine is hot. When the engine ishot, the coolant inside the expansiontank is hot and also under pressure.Contact with this hot, pressurisedcoolant will cause scalds and skindamage.

• Remove the filler cover

• Add coolant mixture through the filleropening to the ‘MAX’ mark.

• Refit the filler cover.

NOTE

• If the coolant level is beingchecked because the coolant hasoverheated, also check the level inthe radiator (via the thermostathousing) and top--up if necessary.

• In an emergency, water alone canbe added to the cooling system.However, the coolant must bereturned to the correct mixtureratio as soon as possible.

Coolant Change

Have the coolant changed by an authorisedTriumph dealer in accordance withscheduled maintenance requirements.

Radiator Hoses

Check the radiator hoses for cracks ordeterioration, and hose clips for tightness inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements. Have your authorisedTriumph dealer replace any defective items.

CAUTION: A year-round typeof antifreeze is installed in the

cooling system when the motorcycleleaves the factory. It is coloured blue,contains a 50% solution of ethyleneglycol, and has a freezing point of--35_C (--31_F).

Radiator and Cooling Fan

Check the radiator fins for obstructions byinsects, leaves or mud. Clean off anyobstructions with a stream of low--pressurewater.

WARNING: The cooling fanoperates automatically.

Always keep hands and clothingaway from the fan. Contact with therotating fan can cause injury.

CAUTION: Using highpressure water, such as from

a car wash facility, can damage theradiator fins and impair the radiator’sefficiency.

Do not obstruct or deflect airflowthrough the radiator by installingunauthorised accessories, either infront of the radiator or behind thecooling fan. Interference with theradiator airflow can causeoverheating, resulting in enginedamage.

CAUTION: Distilled watermust be used with the

antifreeze (see specification forantifreeze) in the cooling system.

If hard water is used in the system, itcauses scale accumulation in thewater passages, and considerablyreduces the efficiency of the coolingsystem.

If coolant must be added often, or theexpansion tank runs dry, there isprobably a leak in the system. Havethe cooling system inspected by yourauthorised Triumph dealer.

CLUTCH

The motorcycle is equipped with a cableoperated clutch.

If the clutch lever has excessive free--play,the clutch may not disengage fully whichwillcause difficulty in changing gear and maycause the engine to stall. Conversely, if theclutch lever has insufficient free--play theclutch may not engage fully, causing theclutch to slip which will reduce performanceand cause premature clutch wear.

Clutch lever free--play must be checked inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Inspection

• Check that there is 0.4--0.8 mmclutch lever free--play as shown in thediagram above.

• If there is an incorrect amount offree--play, adjustments must bemade.

1. Lever2. 0.4--0.8 mm

Adjustment

• Loosen the knurled locknut at thelever end of the clutch cable and turnthe adjuster sleeve until the correctamount of clutch lever free--play isachieved.

• Tighten the knurled locknut againstthe clutch lever assembly.

• If correct adjustment cannot bemadeusing the lever adjuster, use thecableadjuster at the lower (clutch cover)end of the cable.

• Loosen the adjuster locknut.

DRIVE CHAIN

For safety and to prevent excessive wear,the drive chain must be checked, adjusted,and lubricated in accordance withscheduled maintenance requirements.Checking, adjustment and lubrication mustbe carried out more frequently for extremeconditions such as salty or heavily grittedroads.

If the chain is badly worn or incorrectlyadjusted (either too loose or too tight) thechain could jump off the sprockets or break.

WARNING: A loose or wornchain, or a chain that breaks

or jumps off the sprockets couldcatch on the engine sprocket or lockthe rear wheel

A chain that catches on the enginesprocket will injure the rider and leadto loss of motorcycle control and anaccident

Similarly, locking the rear wheel willlead to lossofmotorcycle control andan accident.

ChainLubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 500 milesand also after riding in wet weather, on wetroads, or any time that the chain appearsdry.

Use the special chain lubricant asrecommended in the specification section.

• Apply lubricant to the sides of therollers. This will allow the oil topenetrate to the chain rollers andbushings. Also apply oil to the chain‘O’ rings. Wipe off any excess oil.

• If the chain is especially dirty, cleanfirst using paraffin and then apply oilas mentioned above.

CAUTION: Do not use apower ‘jet’ wash to clean the

chain as this may cause damage tothe chain components.

Chain Free--movement Inspection

1. Maximum Movement Position(35--40 mm)

• Support the motorcycle on a firm,level surface with the side stand.

• Rotate the rear wheel to find theposition where the chain is tightest,and measure the vertical movementof the chain midway between thesprockets.

• The vertical movement of the drivechain must be 35--40 mm.

Chain Free--movement Adjustment

• If the chain free--movementmeasurement is incorrect, adjustmentsmust be made as follows:

• Loosen the wheel spindle nut.

• Release the locknuts on both the leftand right chain adjuster bolts.

• Moving both adjusters by an equalamount, turn the adjuster boltsclockwise to increase chainfree-movement and anti-clockwise toreduce chain free-movement.

Wear Inspection• Remove chain guard.

• Stretch the chain taut by hanging a10--20 kg (20--40 lb) weight on thechain.

• Measure the length of 20 links on thestraight part of the chain from pincentre of the 1st pin to pin centre ofthe 21st pin. Since the chain maywear unevenly, take measurementsat several places.

• If the length exceeds the service limitof 321mm, the chain must bereplaced.

• Rotate the rear wheel to inspect thedrive chain for damaged rollers, andloose pins and links.

• Inspect the chain slider for signs ofexcessive wear.

BRAKES

Brake Wear Inspection

Brake pads must be inspected inaccordance with scheduled requirementsand replaced if worn to, or beyond theminimum service thickness.

If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rearbrakes) is less than 1.5mm (0.06 in), that is,if the pad has worn down to the bottomof thegrooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.

WARNING: Brake pads mustalwaysbe replaced as awheel

set. At the front, where two calipersare fitted on the same wheel, replaceall the brake pads in both calipers.

Replacing individual pads will reducebraking efficiency and may cause anaccident.

After replacement brake pads havebeen fitted, ride with extreme cautionuntil the new pads have ‘broken in’.

Disc Brake Fluid

Inspect the level of brake fluid in bothreservoirs and change the brake fluid inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid asrecommended in the specification section.The brake fluid must also be changed if itbecomes, or is suspected of having becomecontaminated with moisture or any othercontaminants.

WARNING: Brake fluid ishygroscopic which means it

will absorb moisture from the air.

Any absorbed moisture will greatlyreduce the boiling point of the brakefluid causing a reduction in brakingefficiency.

Becauseof this, always replacebrakefluid in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.

Always use new brake fluid from asealed container and never use fluidfrom an unsealed container or fromone which has been previouslyopened.

Do not mix different brands or gradesof brake fluid.

Check for fluid leakage around brakefittings, seals and joints and alsocheck the brake hoses for splits,deterioration and damage.

Always rectify any faults beforeriding.

Failure toobserveand actupon anyofthese items may cause a dangerousriding condition leading to loss ofcontrol and an accident.

Typical Tyre Marking

TYRES

This motorcycleis equipped withtubeless tyres, valves and wheel rims. Useonly tyres marked ‘TUBELESS’ andtubeless valves on rims marked ‘SUITABLEFOR TUBELESS TYRES’.

Tyre Inflation Pressures

Correct inflation pressure will providemaximum stability, rider comfort and tyrelife. Always check tyre pressures beforeriding when the tyres are cold. Check tyrepressures daily and adjust if necessary.See the specification section for details ofthe correct inflation pressures.

Wheel Marking

WARNING: Incorrect tyreinflation will cause abnormal

tread wear and instability problemswhich may lead to loss of control andan accident.

Under--inflation may result in the tyreslipping on, or coming off the rim.Over--inflation will cause instabilityand accelerated tread wear.

Both conditions are dangerous asthey may cause loss of controlleading to an accident.

Tyre Wear

As the tyre treadwears down, thetyre becomes more susceptible topunctures and failure. It is estimated that90% of all tyre problems occur during thelast 10% of tread life (90% worn). It is,therefore, false economy and unsafe to usetyres until they are worn to their minimum.

• In accordance with the periodicmaintenance chart, measure thedepth of the treadwith a depth gauge,and replace any tyre that has worn tothe minimum allowable tread depth.

Minimum Recommended Tread Depth

Under 130 km/h(80 mph)

2 mm (0.08 in)

Over 130 km/h(80 mph)

Rear 3 mm (0.12 in)

Front 2 mm (0.08 in)

WARNING: This motorcyclemust not be operated above

the legal road speed limit except inauthorised closed course conditions.


speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed course racetracks. High speed operation shouldonly then be attempted by riders whohave been instructed in thetechniques necessary for high speedriding and are familiar with themotorcycle’s characteristics in allconditions. High speed operation inany other circumstances isdangerous and will lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING: Operation withexcessively worn tyres is

hazardous and will adversely affecttraction, stability and handling whichmay lead to loss of control and anaccident.

When tubeless tyres becomepunctured, leakage is often veryslow.Always inspect tyres very closely forpunctures. Check the tyres for cuts,imbedded nails or other sharpobjects. Operation with punctured ordamaged tyres will adversely affectstability and handlingwhichmay leadto loss of control or an accident.

Check the rims for dents ordeformation. Operation withdamaged or defective wheels or tyresis dangerous and lossof control or anaccident could result.

Always consult your authorisedTriumph dealer for tyre replacement,or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

Tyre Replacement

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully andextensively tested in a range of ridingconditions to ensure that the most effectivetyre combinations are approved for use oneach model. It is essential that approvedtyres, fitted in approved combinations, areused when purchasing replacement tyres.The use of non approved tyres, or approvedtyres in non approved combinations, maylead to motorcycle instability and anaccident. See the specification section fordetails of approved tyre combinations.Always have tyres fitted and balanced byyour authorised Triumph dealer who has thenecessary training and skills to ensure safe,effective fitment.

WARNING: If a tyre sustainsa puncture, the tyre must be

replaced. Failure to replace apunctured tyre, or operation with arepaired tyre can lead to instability,loss of control or an accident.

WARNING: Do not installtube--type tyres on tubeless

rims. The bead will not seat and thetyres could slip on the rims, causingrapid tyre deflation that may result ina loss of vehicle control and anaccident. Never install an inner tubeinside a tubeless tyre. This will causefriction inside the tyre and theresulting head build--up may causethe tube to burst resulting in rapidtyre deflation, loss of vehicle controland an accident.

WARNING: If tyre damage issuspected, such as after

striking the kerb, ask yourauthorisedTriumph dealer to inspect the tyreboth internally and externally.Remember, tyre damage may notalways be visible from the outside.Operation of the motorcycle withdamaged tyres could lead to loss ofcontrol and an accident.

WARNING: Whenreplacement tyres are

required, consult your authorisedTriumph dealer who will arrange forthe tyres to be selected, in a correctcombination, from the approved listand fitted according to the tyremanufacturer’s instructions.

When tyres are replaced, allow timefor the tyres to seat to the rim(approximately 24hours). During thisseating period, ride cautiously as anincorrectly seated tyre could causeloss of control or an accident.

Initially, the new tyres will notproduce the same handlingcharacteristics as the worn tyres andthe rider must allow adequate ridingdistance (approximately 100 miles) tobecome accustomed to the newhandling characteristics.
