WARNING
Owners should be aware that the only
approved parts, accessories and
conversions for any Triumph
motorcycle are those which carry
official Triumph approval.
We recommend accessories and
conversions be completed by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
In particular, it is extremely hazardous
to fit or replace parts or accessories
whose fitting requires the dismantling
of, or addition to, either the electrical
or fuel systems and any such
modification could cause a safety
hazard.
The fitting of any non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions may affect
the handling, stability or other aspect
of the motorcycle operation, leading to
loss of motorcycle control which could
result in serious injury or death.
Triumph does not accept any liability
whatsoever for defects caused by the
fitting of non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions.
Triumph does not accept any liability
whatsoever for defects caused by the
incorrect fitment of approved parts,
accessories or conversions.
WARNING
Never ride an accessory equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the
stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss of
motorcycle control. When riding at
high speed, always be aware that
various motorcycle configuration and
environmental factors can adversely
affect the stability of your motorcycle.
For example:
- Incorrectly balanced loads on both
sides of the motorcycle
- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear
suspension settings
- Incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures
- Excessively or unevenly worn tyres
- Side winds and turbulence from
other vehicles
- Loose clothing.
Remember that the 80mph (130km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by the
fitting of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall
motorcycle condition and poor road or
weather conditions.
Failure to follow the advice above may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
