Triumph Speed Twin 1200 User Manual

HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
80
To start the engine:
▼ Check that the engine stop switch is
in the RUN position.
▼ Make sure the transmission is in
neutral.
▼ Turn the ignition switch on.
Note
When the ignition is switched on, the
instrument warning lights will illuminate
and will then go off (except those which
normally remain on until the engine
starts, see the Warning Lights section).
▼ Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
▼ Leaving the throttle fully closed,
push the starter button until the
engine starts.
▼ The motorcycle is equipped with
starter lockout switches. The
switches prevent the electric
starter from operating when the
transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
▼ If the side stand is extended while
the engine is running, and the
transmission is not in neutral then
the engine will stop regardless of
the clutch lever position.
Moving Off
To move the motorcycle:
▼ Pull in the clutch lever and select
first gear.
▼ Open the throttle a little and let out
the clutch lever slowly.
▼ As the clutch starts to engage, open
the throttle a little more, allowing
enough engine speed to avoid
stalling.
