Safety First

The Motorcycle

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use

as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of

carrying a rider on their own.

The total weight of the rider, any

accessories and luggage must not

exceed the maximum load limit of

275 lb (125 kg).

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 equipped with a sidecar.

Installing a sidecar and/or a trailer

may result in loss of control and an

accident.

Caution

Riding the motorcycle in extreme

conditions such as wet and muddy

roads, on rough terrain or in dusty

and humid environments, may lead to

above average wear and damage of

certain components.

Therefore the servicing and

replacement of worn or damaged

components may be necessary before

the scheduled maintenance service is

reached.

It is important that the motorcycle

is inspected after riding in extreme

conditions and any worn or damaged

components are serviced or replaced.

Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when

refueling.

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 gasoline on

the engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers

when refueling.

If gasoline 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 gasoline should immediately be

removed.

Burns and other serious skin

conditions may result from contact

with gasoline.

Warning

Never start the engine or run the

engine in a confined area.

Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can

cause loss of consciousness and death

within a short period of time.

Always operate the motorcycle in the

open air or in an area with adequate

ventilation.

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both

rider and passenger (on models where

carrying a passenger is permitted)

must always wear appropriate clothing

including a motorcycle helmet, eye

protection, gloves, boots, trousers

(close fitting around the knee and

ankle) and a brightly colored jacket.

During off-road use (on models

suitable for off-road use), the rider

must always wear appropriate clothing

including trousers and boots.

Brightly colored 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.

Safety First

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 colored 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.

When choosing a helmet, always look for

a DOT (Department of Transport) sticker

indicating that the helmet has DOT

approval. Do not buy a helmet without

DOT approval.

Parking

Warning

Always switch 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 unauthorized 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.

Safety First

Parts and Accessories

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

installed to the motorcycle by an

authorized dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous

to install or replace parts or

accessories whose installation requires

the dismantling of, or addition to,

either the electrical or fuel systems

and any such modification could cause

a safety hazard.

The installation 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.

Triumph does not accept any liability

whatsoever for defects caused by the

installation of non-approved parts,

accessories or conversions or the

installation of any approved parts,

accessories or conversions by non-

approved personnel.

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Consult your authorized 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

compromise safety.

Warning

Make sure all equipment that is

required by law is installed and

functioning correctly.

The removal or alteration of the

motorcycle’s lights, mufflers, 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 authorized 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.
