Maintenance

Caution
Do not use an automotive quick
charger as it may overcharge and
damage the battery.
For help with selecting a battery
charger, checking the battery voltage
or battery charging, contact your local
authorised Triumph dealer.
Should the battery voltage fall below
12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged
using a Triumph approved battery
charger. Always remove the battery
from the motorcycle and follow the
instructions supplied with the battery
charger.
For extended periods of storage
(beyond two weeks) the battery should
be removed from the motorcycle and
kept charged using a Triumph approved
maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge
fall to a level where it will not start the
motorcycle, remove the battery from
the motorcycle before charging.
Battery Installation
Warning
Make sure that the battery terminals
do not touch the motorcycle frame.
This may cause a short circuit or spark
which would ignite battery gases
causing a risk of personal injury.
To install the battery:
• Place the battery in the battery
case.
• Refit the fuse box to the side of the
battery box.
• Reconnect the battery, positive (red)
lead first.
• Apply a light coat of grease to the
terminals to prevent corrosion.
• Cover the positive terminal with the
protective cap.
• Refit the battery strap.
• Refit the rider's seat.
