General Information
Heat Shield (Thruxton only)
1. Heat shield
Heat shields are fitted to the cylinder head,
on both sides of the motorcycle. The shields
are fitted in order to protect the rider's knee
from potential contact with the cylinder head
which will be hot whenever the engine is
running and for a period afterwards.
Do not attempt to adjust the levers with the
motorcycle in motion as this may lead to
loss of control and an accident.
After adjusting the levers, operate the
motorcycle in an area free from traffic to
gain familiarity with the new lever settings.
Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as
they may change the lever settings from
the one you are familiar with possibly
causing loss of control or an accident.
Never remove the heat shields from the
cylinder head and always repair or replace
the heat shields if they become damaged
or detached.
Removal of either heat shield may lead to
contact of the rider's leg with hot engine
parts. Contact with hot engine parts may
lead to burns and other skin damage.
