General Information
Note:
• 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.
Oxygenated Gasoline
To help in meeting clean air standards, some
areas of the U.S. use oxygenated gasoline to
help reduce harmful emissions. These
gasolines are a blend of conventional
gasoline and another compound such as
alcohol. This Triumph motorcycle will give its
best performance when using unleaded
gasoline. However, the following should be
used as a guide if you use any oxygenated
fuels.
Ethanol
Ethanol fuel is a mixture of 10% Ethanol and
90% gasoline and is often described under
the names 'gasohol', 'Ethanol enhanced', or
'contains Ethanol'. This fuel may be used in
your Triumph motorcycle.
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
The use of gasolines containing up to 15%
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is
permitted in this Triumph motorcycle.
Methanol
The exhaust system for this model is fitted
with a catalytic converter to help reduce
exhaust emission levels. 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 ensure you have adequate fuel
for your journey.
The use of leaded gasoline is illegal in
some countries, states or territories. Check
local regulations before using leaded
gasoline.
Fuels containing methanol should not be
used as damage to components in the fuel
system can be caused by contact with
methanol.
Because of the generally higher volatility of
oxygenated fuels, starting, engine
response and fuel consumption may be
adversely affected by their use. Should any
of these difficulties be experienced, run the
motorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.
