General Information
Your authorized Triumph dealer can supply a
replacement key cut from details of the key
number or can cut a new key using the
original as a master.
Steering Lock
1. Steering lock
This is a two position, key operated lock. The
key can be removed in either the engaged or
disengaged positions.
To engage the lock, insert the key and turn
clockwise. At the same time, turn the
handlebars fully left until the lock engages.
To disengage the steering lock, insert the key,
turn the handlebars slightly to relieve any
weight on the lock and turn the key
counter-clockwise. Remove the key.
Caution
Do not store the spare key with the
motorcycle as this will reduce all aspects of
security.
Warning
Always disengage the steering lock before
riding as, with the steering lock engaged, it
will not be possible to turn the handlebars
or steer the motorcycle.
Riding without motorcycle steering control
will lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
