Foreword - Safety First

FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for on-road

use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

Off-road operation could lead to loss of

control of the motorcycle resulting in an

accident causing injury or loss of life.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow a

trailer or be fitted with a sidecar. Fitting a

sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of

control and an accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as a

two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a

rider on his/her own, or a rider and one

passenger.

The total weight of the rider, and any

passenger, accessories and luggage must

not exceed the maximum load limit of

220 kg.

Warning

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when refuelling.

Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap

while smoking or in the vicinity of any

open (naked) flame.

Take care not to spill any petrol on the

engine, exhaust pipes or silencers when

refuelling.

If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or allowed to

get into the eyes, seek immediate medical

attention.

Spillage on the skin should be immediately

washed off with soap and water and

clothing contaminated with petrol should

immediately be removed.

Burns and other serious skin conditions

may result from contact with petrol.

Warning

Never start your engine or let it run for any

length of time in a closed area. The

exhaust fumes are poisonous and may

cause loss of consciousness and death

within a short time. Always operate your

motorcycle in the open-air or in an area

with adequate ventilation.

Foreword - Safety First

Helmet and Clothing Parking

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider

and passenger must always wear a

motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves,

trousers (close fitting around the knee and

ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket.

Brightly coloured clothing will considerably

increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility

to other operators of road vehicles.

Although full protection is not possible,

wearing correct protective clothing can

reduce the risk of injury when riding.

Warning

A helmet is one of the most important

pieces of riding gear as it offers protection

against head injuries. You and your

passenger's helmet should be carefully

chosen and should fit you or your

passenger's head comfortably and

securely. A brightly coloured helmet will

increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility

to other operators of road vehicles.

An open face helmet offers some

protection in an accident though a full face

helmet will offer more.

Always wear a visor or approved goggles

to help vision and to protect your eyes.

Warning

Always turn off the engine and remove the

ignition key before leaving the motorcycle

unattended. By removing the key, the risk

of use of the motorcycle by unauthorised

or untrained persons is reduced.

When parking the motorcycle, always

remember the following:

Engage first gear to help prevent the

motorcycle from rolling off the stand.

The engine and exhaust system will be hot

after riding. DO NOT park where

pedestrians, animals and/or children are

likely to touch the motorcycle.

Do not park on soft ground or on a steeply

inclined surface. Parking under these

conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall

over.

For further details, please refer to the 'How

to Ride the Motorcycle' section of this

owner's handbook.

Foreword - Safety First

Parts and Accessories

Triumph does not accept any liability

whatsoever for defects caused by the fitting

of non-approved parts, accessories or

conversions or the fitting of any approved

parts, accessories or conversions by

non-approved personnel.

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Owners should be aware that the only

approved parts, accessories and

conversions for any Triumph motorcycle

are those which carry official Triumph

approval and are fitted to the motorcycle

by an authorised dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous to fit

or replace parts or accessories whose fitting

requires the dismantling of, or addition to,

either the electrical or fuel systems and any

such modification could cause a safety

hazard.

The fitting of any non-approved parts,

accessories or conversions may adversely

affect the handling, stability or other aspect

of the motorcycle operation that may result

in an accident causing injury or death.

Warning

Consult your authorised Triumph dealer

whenever there is doubt as to the correct

or safe operation of this Triumph

motorcycle.

Remember that continued operation of an

incorrectly performing motorcycle may

aggravate a fault and may also prejudice

safety.

Warning

When banking and the bank angle

indicator, attached to the rider’s footboard,

makes contact with the ground, the

motorcycle is nearing its bank angle limit. A

further increase of the banking angle is

unsafe.

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause

instability, loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Foreword - Safety First

Riding

Warning

Ensure all equipment that is required by

law is installed and functioning correctly.

The removal or alteration of the

motorcycle’s lights, silencers, emission or

noise control systems can violate the law.

Incorrect or improper modification may

adversely affect the handling, stability or

other aspect of the motorcycle operation,

which may result in an accident causing

injury or death.

Warning

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident,

collision or fall, it must be taken to an

authorised Triumph dealer for inspection

and repair. Any accident can cause

damage to the motorcycle that, if not

correctly repaired, may cause a second

accident that may result in injury or death.

Warning

Never ride the motorcycle when fatigued

or under the influence of alcohol or other

drugs.

Riding when under the influence of alcohol

or other drugs is illegal.

Riding when fatigued or under the

influence of alcohol or other drugs reduces

the rider's ability to maintain control of the

motorcycle and may lead to loss of control

and an accident.

Warning

All riders must be licenced to operate the

motorcycle. Operation of the motorcycle

without a licence is illegal and could lead to

prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without

formal training in the correct riding

techniques that are necessary to become

licenced is dangerous and may lead to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Always ride defensively and wear the

protective equipment mentioned

elsewhere in this foreword. Remember, in

an accident, a motorcycle does not give the

same impact protection as a car.

Foreword - Safety First

Handlebars and Footrests

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be

operated within the legal speed limits for

the particular road travelled. Operating a

motorcycle at high speeds can be

potentially dangerous since the time

available to react to given traffic situations

is greatly reduced as road speed increases.

Always reduce speed in potentially

hazardous driving conditions such as bad

weather or heavy traffic.

Warning

Continually observe and react to changes

in road surface, traffic and wind conditions.

All two-wheeled vehicles are subject to

external forces which may cause an

accident. These forces include but are not

limited to:

• Wind draft from passing vehicles;

• Potholes, uneven or damaged

road surfaces;

• Bad weather;

• Rider error.

Always operate the motorcycle at

moderate speed and away from heavy

traffic until you have become thoroughly

familiar with its handling and operating

characteristics. Never exceed the legal

speed limit.

Warning

The rider must maintain control of the

vehicle by keeping hands on the

handlebars at all times.

The handling and stability of a motorcycle

will be adversely affected if the rider

removes his hands from the handlebars,

resulting in loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Warning

The rider and passenger must always use

the footrests provided, during operation of

the vehicle.

By using the footrests, both rider and

passenger will reduce the risk of

inadvertent contact with any motorcycle

components and will also reduce the risk of

injury from entrapment of clothing.
