Engine Calibration
In certain circumstances engine
calibration may be required. Always
refer to your authorized Triumph dealer.
Caution
The motorcycle can be permanently
damaged if it is allowed to operate
with the incorrect grade of fuel or
incorrect engine calibration.
Always make sure the fuel used is of
the correct grade and quality.
Damage caused by using the incorrect
fuel or engine calibration is not
considered a manufacturing defect
and will not be covered under
warranty.
Caution
The exhaust system for this
motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust
emission levels.
Use of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter. In addition, 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 make sure you have adequate
fuel for your trip.
Note
The use of leaded fuel is illegal in some
countries, states or territories.
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.
