Warning
Owners should be aware that the only
approved parts, accessories and con-
versions for any Triumph motorcycle
are those which carry official Triumph
approval and are fitted to the motorcy-
cle by an authorised dealer.
In particular, it is extremely hazardous
to fit or replace parts or accessories
whose fitting requires the dismantling
of, or addition to, either the electrical
or fuel systems and any such modifica-
tion could cause a safety hazard.
The fitting of any non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions may ad-
versely affect the handling, stability or
other aspect of the motorcycle opera-
tion that may result in an accident
causing injury or death.
Triumph does not accept any liability
whatsoever for defects caused by the
fitting of non-approved parts, accesso-
ries or conversions or the fitting of any
approved parts, accessories or conver-
sions by non-approved personnel.
Loading
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an un-
safe riding condition leading to an
accident.
Always make sure that any loads car-
ried are evenly distributed on both
sides of the motorcycle. Make sure
that the load is correctly secured such
that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Evenly distribute the load within each
pannier. Pack heavy items at the bot-
tom and on the inboard side of the
pannier.
Always check the load security regu-
larly (though not while the motorcycle
is in motion) and make sure that the
load does not extend beyond the rear
of the motorcycle.
Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight of 196 kg (432 lbs).
Warning
Never attempt to store any items be-
tween the frame and the fuel tank.
This can restrict the steering and will
cause loss of control leading to an ac-
cident.
Weight attached to the handlebar or
front fork will increase the mass of the
steering assembly and can result in
loss of steering control leading to an
accident.
