General Information
Electrical Accessory Socket
1. Electrical accessory socket
An electrical accessory socket is provided on
the motorcycle, located next to the ignition
switch.
The socket will provide a 12 Volt electrical
supply. Refer to the label in the fuse box lid
for fuse amperage (see page 10 9 ).
To protect the battery from excessive
discharge while using fitted electrical
accessories the combined total current which
may be drawn through the standard (and
auxiliary sockets if fitted) is 5 Amps.
A plug, suitable for use with the accessory
socket, is available from your authorised
Triumph dealer.
Running-In
Running-in is the name given to the process
that occurs during the first hours of a new
vehicle's operation.
In particular, internal friction in the engine will
be higher when components are new. Later
on, when continued operation of the engine
has ensured that the components have
'bedded in', this internal friction will be
greatly reduced.
A period of careful running-in will ensure
lower exhaust emissions, and will optimise
performance, fuel economy and longevity of
the engine and other motorcycle
components.
During the first 500 miles (800 kilometres):
Do not use full throttle.
Avoid high engine speeds at all times.
Avoid riding at one constant engine
speed, whether fast or slow, for a long
period of time.
Avoid aggressive starts, stops, and rapid
accelerations, except in an emergency.
Do not ride at speeds greater than 3/4 of
maximum engine speed.
