Monsoon/Rainy Season Care
During the Monsoon/Rainy season,
extra care is required in order to obtain
consistent performance of your
motorcycle.
Always observe the following:
▼ Make sure that the motorcycle is
parked in a covered area. If a covered
area is not available, then make sure
to put a suitable waterproof
breathable cover over the
motorcycle.
▼ Make sure that the tyres are in a
good condition.
▼ Check and, if necessary, correct the
tyre pressures.
▼ The drive chain should be cleaned
and lubricated every 200 miles
(300km) using Triumph Performance
chain lubricant.
NOTICE
If the drive chain gets contaminated
by mud, we recommend that the drive
chain is cleaned and lubricated before
riding.
▼ Check that the front and rear brakes
are functioning correctly.
WARNING
When using the motorcycle on loose,
wet or muddy roads, braking
effectiveness will be reduced by dust,
mud or moisture collecting on the
brakes.
Always brake earlier in these
conditions to make sure that brake
surfaces are cleaned by the braking
action.
Riding the motorcycle with brakes
contaminated with dust, mud or
moisture may lead to loss of
motorcycle control which could result
in serious injury or death.
▼ Make sure that you wear appropriate
waterproof clothing suitable for
motorcycles.
▼ Never ride the motorcycle though
floods as water may enter the
engine. Water entering the engine
may cause engine damage. Damage
caused by water entering the engine
is not covered by the motorcycle
warranty, as it is not due to a
manufacturing defect.
▼ If the motorcycle is parked and water
level rises around the motorcycle, do
not try to start the engine. The
motorcycle should be inspected for
water ingress before starting the
engine. Inspections and repairs must
be completed by a competent person
with the specialist knowledge and
technical understanding of
motorcycles, such as an authorised
Triumph dealer.
