Foreword - Safety First
Maintenance/Equipment
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
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the
maximum limit (when the bank angle
indicator is worn to a minimum of
5 mm in length) will allow the
motorcycle to be banked to an
unsafe angle. Therefore, always
replace the bank angle indicator
pegs when they are worn to 5 mm in
length. Banking to an unsafe angle
may cause instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
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.
