Accessories, Loading and Passengers

Warning Continued
Never install genuine Triumph
accessories to a Triumph motorcycle
model that is not listed in the
associated Triumph Fitting Instruction,
as this may affect handling, stability
or other aspects of the motorcycle
operation that may result in an
accident causing severe injuries or
death.
Warning
Never ride an accessory equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess
of 80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/
or payload will cause changes in
the stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
Warning Continued
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
When riding at high speed, always
be aware that various motorcycle
configuration and environmental
factors can adversely affect the
stability of your motorcycle. For
example:
- Incorrectly balanced loads on both
sides of the motorcycle
- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear
suspension settings
- Incorrectly adjusted tire pressures
- Excessively or unevenly worn tires
- Side winds and turbulence from
other vehicles
- Loose clothing.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by
the installation of non-approved
accessories, incorrect loading, worn
tires, overall motorcycle condition and
poor road or weather conditions.
Loading
Warning
Always make sure that any loads
carried are evenly distributed on both
sides of the motorcycle. Make sure
that the load is correctly secured so
that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
