Maintenance and Adjustment
For extended periods of storage (beyond two
weeks) the battery should be removed from
the motorcycle and kept topped up using a
Triumph approved maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge fall to a
level where it will not start the motorcycle,
remove the battery from the motorcycle
before charging.
Battery Installation
Place the battery in the battery case.
Reconnect the battery leads, positive (red)
lead first.
Apply a light coat of grease to the terminals
to prevent corrosion.
Cover the positive terminal with the
protective cap.
Refit the seat (see page 35).
Fuse Box
1. F u s e b ox
The fuse box is located beneath the seat.
To allow access to the fuse box, the seat must
be removed.
Warning
Ensure that the battery terminals do not
touch the motorcycle frame as this may
cause a short circuit or spark, which would
ignite battery gases causing a risk of
personal injury.
Warning
Always replace blown fuses with new ones
of the correct rating (as specified on the
fuse box cover) and never use a fuse of
higher rating. Use of an incorrect fuse
could lead to an electrical problem,
resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
