Fuel Grade
Triumph motorcycles are designed to
run on unleaded gasoline with a CLC
or AKI octane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or
higher (91 RON). Federal regulations
require that pumps delivering unleaded
gasoline are marked 'UNLEADED' and
that the Cost of Living Council (CLC) or
Anti-Knock Index (AKI) octane rating
is also displayed. These ratings are an
average of the Research Octane Number
(RON) and the Motor Octane Number
(MON).
Ethanol
In Europe, Triumph motorcycles are
compatible with Ethanol E5 and E10 (5%
and 10% Ethanol) unleaded fuel.
In all other markets Ethanol up to E25
(25% Ethanol) may be used.
Engine Calibration
In certain circumstances engine
calibration may be required. This should
be completed by a competent person
with the specialist knowledge and
technical understanding of motorcycles,
such as an authorized Triumph dealer.
NOTICE
The motorcycle can be permanently
damaged if it is allowed to operate
with the incorrect grade of fuel or
incorrect engine calibration.
Always make sure the fuel used is of
the correct grade and quality.
Damage caused by using the
incorrect fuel or engine calibration
is not considered a manufacturing
defect and will not be covered under
warranty.
NOTICE
The exhaust system for this
motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust
emission levels.
Use of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter. In addition,
the catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the
motorcycle is allowed to run out of
fuel or if the fuel level is allowed to get
very low.
Always make sure you have adequate
fuel for your trip.
NOTICE
The use of leaded fuel is illegal in some
countries, states or territories.
NOTICE
If 'knocking' or 'pinging' occurs at a
steady engine speed under normal
load, use a different brand of gasoline
or gasoline which has a higher octane
rating.
