General Information
Note:
• If the malfunction indicator light
flashes when the ignition is
switched on, contact an authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible
to have the situation rectified. In
these circumstances the engine
will not start.
Alarm/Immobilizer Indicator Light
This Triumph model is fitted
with an engine immobilizer
which is activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position. If the motorcycle is fitted with
the accessory alarm, the immobilizer will
operate as normal but the alarm/immobilizer
light will operate as described below.
With Alarm Fitted
The alarm/immobilizer light will only
illuminate when the conditions described in
the accessory alarm instructions are met.
Without Alarm Fitted
When the ignition switch turned to the OFF
position, the alarm/immobilizer light will flash
on and off for 24 hours to show that the
engine immobilizer is on. When the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position the
immobilizer and the indicator light will be off.
If the indicator light remains on it indicates
that the immobilizer has a malfunction that
requires investigation. Contact an authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have
the fault checked and rectified.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) Indicator
light
(Only on models fitted with ABS)
When the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, it is normal
that the ABS warning light will
flash on and off. The light will
continue to flash after engine start-up until
the motorcycle first reaches a speed
exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h) when it will go
off.
Unless the ABS system is disabled (see
page 28), or there is a fault, it should not
illuminate again until the engine is restarted.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated at
any other time while riding it indicates that
the ABS has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
See also Braking on page 63.
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a non
ABS braking system. Do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with the
indicator light illuminated. Contact an
authorized Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified. In this situation braking too hard
will cause the wheels to lock resulting in
loss of control and an accident.
