Maintenance and Adjustment
Should the battery Voltage fall below
12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged
using a Triumph approved battery charger.
Always follow the instructions supplied with
the battery charger.
For extended periods of storage (beyond two
weeks) the battery should be removed from
the motorcycle and kept charged 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 positive (red) lead.
Reconnect the negative (black) lead, noting
the orientation of the terminal, as shown
below.
1. Battery negative terminal
2. Negative lead
Do not use an automotive quick charger as
it may overcharge and may damage the
battery and the alternator.
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.
