Wobble/WeaveA weave is a relatively slow oscillation of therear of the motorcycle, while a wobble is arapid, possibly strong shaking of thehandlebar. These are related but distinctstability problems usually caused by excessiveweight in the wrong place, or by amechanical problem such as worn or loosebearings or under-inflated or unevenly worntires.

Your solution to both situations is the same.Keep a firm hold on the handlebars withoutlocking arms or fighting the steering.Smoothly ease off the throttle to slowgradually. Do not apply the brakes, and donot accelerate to try to stop the wobble orweave. In some cases, it helps to shift yourbody weight forward by leaning over thetank.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if equipped)

Note:

• The Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS) is standardequipment on Trophy SE models,and available as an accessory onTrophy models. On Trophy modelsTPMS must only be fitted by yourauthorized Triumph dealer. TheTPMS display will then be activatedby your authorized Triumph dealer.

WarningThe daily check of tire pressures must notbe excluded because of the mounting ofthe TPMS. Check the tire pressure whenthe tires are cold and using an accurate tirepressure gauge (see page 144).

Use of the TPMS system to set inflationpressures may lead to incorrect tirepressures leading to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

53

General Information

FunctionTire pressure sensors are fitted to the frontand rear wheels. These sensors measure theair pressure inside the tire and transmitpressure data to the instruments. Thesesensors will not transmit the data until themotorcycle is travelling at a speed greaterthan 12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will bevisible in the display area until the tirepressure signal is received.

An adhesive label will be fitted to the wheelrim to indicate the position of the tirepressure sensor, which is near the valve.

TPMS Sensor ID NumberAn ID number for each tire pressure sensor isprinted on a label which is attached to thesensor. This number may be required by thedealer for service or diagnostics.

If the TPMS has been fitted at the factory,labels identifying the front and rear TPMSsensor ID numbers will be affixed to thespaces on page 53.

If the TPMS is being fitted to the motorcycleas an accessory, ensure that the dealerrecords the front and rear TPMS sensor IDnumbers in the spaces provided below.

General Information

Tire PressuresThe tire pressures shown on your instrumentpanel indicate the actual tire pressure at thetime of selecting the display. This may differfrom the inflation pressure set when the tiresare cold because tires become warmerduring riding, causing the air in the tire toexpand and the inflation pressure to increase.The cold inflation pressures specified byTriumph take account of this.

Owners must adjust tire pressures only whenthe tires are cold, using an accurate tirepressure gauge (see page 144), and must notuse the tire pressure display on theinstruments.

Replacement TiresWhen replacing tires, always have anauthorized Triumph dealer mount your tiresand ensure they are aware that tire pressuresensors are mounted to the wheels (seepage 146).

Triumph Traction Control (TTC)

Triumph Traction Control helps to maintaintraction when accelerating on wet/slipperyroad surfaces. If sensors detect that the rearwheel is losing traction (slipping), the tractioncontrol system will engage and alter theengine power until traction to the rear wheelhas been restored. The traction controlwarning light will flash while it is engagedand the rider may notice a change to thesound of the engine.

Note:

• Traction control will not function ifthere is a malfunction with the ABSsystem. The warning lights for theABS, traction control and the MILwill be illuminated.

WarningThe tire pressure monitoring system is notto be used as a tire pressure gauge whenadjusting the tire pressures. For correct tirepressures, always check the tire pressureswhen the tires are cold, using an accuratetire pressure gauge (see page 144).

Use of the TPMS system to set inflationpressures may lead to incorrect tirepressures leading to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

WarningTriumph Traction Control is not a substitutefor riding appropriately for the prevailingroad and weather conditions. The tractioncontrol cannot prevent loss of traction dueto:

• excessive speed when entering turns;

• accelerating at a sharp lean angle;

• braking.

Traction control can not prevent the frontwheel from slipping.

Failure to observe any of the above mayresult in loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

56

General Information

Triumph Traction Control Settings

The Triumph Traction Control can be set toone of the following conditions:

• ON - the traction control will engage tocontrol rear wheel slip.The warning light will be off but will flashon and off when the traction control isworking to limit the rear wheel slipping;

• OFF - traction control is disabled and thewarning light is constantly on.Traction control will be enabled againwhen the ignition is turned off and thenon.

To access the TTC settings, seeADJUSTMENT on page 48.

Triumph Electronic Suspension (TES) (if equipped)

The Triumph Electronic Suspension (TES)system controls adjustment of the front andrear suspension damping and rearsuspension pre-load settings.

TES allows a convenient remote adjustmentof the riding MODE (damping settings) andLOADING (pre-load settings) via theinstruments while the motorcycle is stationary(MODE and LOADING settings) or moving(MODE only).

The three MODE (damping) optionsavailable are:

• COMFORT;

• NORMAL;

• SPORT.

The three LOADING (pre-load) optionsavailable are:

• 1 UP;

• 1 UP+LUGGAGE;

• 2 UP.

To access the TES settings, seeADJUSTMENT on page 48.

WarningDo not attempt to adjust the tractioncontrol settings while the motorcycle is inmotion as this may lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

WarningIf the traction control is disabled, themotorcycle will handle as normal butwithout traction control. In this situationaccelerating too hard on wet/slippery roadsurfaces may cause the rear wheel to slip,and may result in loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

WarningAfter adjusting the suspension, operate themotorcycle in an area free from traffic togain familiarity with the new settings. Donot loan your motorcycle to anyone as theymay change the suspension settings fromthe one you are familiar with causing lossof control or an accident.

General Information

Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel Grade

This Triumph motorcycle is designed to runon unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKIoctane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or higher.Federal regulations require that pumpsdelivering unleaded gasoline are marked'UNLEADED' and that the Cost of LivingCouncil (CLC) or Anti-Knock Index (AKI)octane rating is also displayed. These ratingsare an average of the Research OctaneNumber (RON) and the Motor OctaneNumber (MON).

Note:

• If 'knocking' or 'pinging' occurs at asteady engine speed under normalload, use a different brand ofgasoline or gasoline which has ahigher octane rating.

Oxygenated GasolineTo help in meeting clean air standards, someareas of the U.S. use oxygenated gasoline tohelp reduce harmful emissions. Thesegasolines are a blend of conventionalgasoline and another compound such asalcohol. This Triumph motorcycle will give itsbest performance when using unleadedgasoline. However, the following should beused as a guide if you use any oxygenatedfuels.

EthanolEthanol fuel is a mixture of 10% Ethanol and90% gasoline and is often described underthe names 'gasohol', 'Ethanol enhanced', or'contains Ethanol'. This fuel may be used inyour Triumph motorcycle.

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)The use of gasolines containing up to 15%MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) ispermitted in this Triumph motorcycle.

Methanol

CautionThe use of leaded gasoline is illegal insome countries, states or territories. Checklocal regulations before using leadedgasoline.

Pb

CautionFuels containing methanol should not beused as damage to components in the fuelsystem can be caused by contact withmethanol.

CautionBecause of the generally higher volatility ofoxygenated fuels, starting, engineresponse and fuel consumption may beadversely affected by their use. Should anyof these difficulties be experienced, run themotorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.

WarningTo help reduce hazards associated withrefuelling, always observe the followingfuel safety instructions:

Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and canbe explosive under certain conditions.When refuelling, turn the ignition switch tothe 'OFF' position.

Do not smoke.

Do not use a mobile telephone.

Make sure the refuelling area is wellventilated and free from any source offlame or sparks. This includes anyappliance with a pilot light.

Never fill the tank until the fuel level risesinto the filler neck. Heat from sunlight orother sources may cause the fuel toexpand and overflow creating a firehazard.

After refuelling always check that the fuelfiller cap is correctly closed and locked.

Because gasoline (fuel) is highlyflammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or anyfailure to observe the safety advice givenabove will lead to a fire hazard, whichcould cause damage to property, injury topersons or death.

CautionClosing the cap without the key insertedwill damage the cap, tank and lockmechanism.

95

General Information

Breaking-in

Breaking-in is the name given to the processthat occurs during the first hours of a newvehicle's operation.

In particular, internal friction in the engine willbe higher when components are new. Lateron, when continued operation of the enginehas ensured that the components have'bedded in', this internal friction will begreatly reduced.

A period of careful breaking-in will ensurelower exhaust emissions, and will optimizeperformance, fuel economy and longevity ofthe engine and other motorcyclecomponents.

During the first 500 miles (800 kilometers):

• Do not use full throttle.

• Avoid high engine speeds at all times.

• Avoid riding at one constant enginespeed, whether fast or slow, for a longperiod of time.

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops, and rapidaccelerations, except in an emergency.

• Do not ride at speeds greater than 3/4 ofmaximum engine speed.

From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to1500 kilometers):

• Engine speed can gradually be increasedup to the maximum engine speed(red zone) for short periods.

Both during and after breaking-in has beencompleted:

• Do not over-rev the engine when cold.

• Do not lug the engine. Always downshiftbefore the engine begins to 'struggle'.

• Do not ride with engine speedsunnecessarily high. Shifting up a gearhelps reduce fuel consumption, reducesnoise and helps to protect theenvironment.

CautionThe engine should normally be stopped byturning the ignition switch to theOFF position. The engine stop switch is foremergency use only. Do not leave theignition switched on with the enginestopped. Electrical damage may result.

101


• A transponder is fitted within thekey to turn off the engineimmobilizer. To ensure theimmobilizer functions correctly, onlyever have one of the ignition keysnear the ignition switch. Having twoignition keys near the switch mayinterrupt the signal between thetransponder and the engineimmobilizer. In this situation theengine immobilizer will remainactive until one of the ignition keysis removed.

• In very cold conditions, part openthe throttle to aid cold starting.Return it to the closed position oncethe engine has started.

Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.

Leaving the throttle fully closed, push thestarter button until the engine starts.

• The motorcycle is equipped with starterlockout switches. The switches preventthe electric starter from operating whenthe transmission is not in neutral with theside stand down.

• If the side stand is extended while theengine is running, and the transmissionis not in neutral then the engine will stopregardless of clutch position.

WarningNever start the engine or run the engine ina confined area. Exhaust fumes arepoisonous and can cause loss ofconsciousness and death within a shortperiod of time. Always operate yourmotorcycle in the open-air or in an areawith adequate ventilation.

CautionDo not operate the starter continuously formore than 5 seconds as the starter motorwill overheat and the battery will becomedischarged. Wait 15 seconds between eachoperation of the starter to allow for coolingand recovery of battery power.

Do not let the engine idle for long periodsas this may lead to overheating which willcause damage to the engine.

CautionIf the low oil pressure warninglight/message illuminates after starting theengine, stop the engine immediately andinvestigate the cause. Running the enginewith low oil pressure will cause severeengine damage.

102


Moving OffPull in the clutch lever and select first gear.Open the throttle a little and let out the clutchlever slowly. As the clutch starts to engage,open the throttle a little more, allowingenough engine speed to avoid stalling.

Shifting Gears

1. Gear-change pedalClose the throttle while pulling in theclutch lever. Change into the nexthigher or lower gear. Open the throttlepart way, while releasing the clutchlever. Always use the clutch whenshifting gear.

Note:

• The gear shift mechanism is the'positive stop' type. This means that,for each movement of the gear shiftpedal, you can only select each gear,one after the other, in ascending ordescending order.

WarningWith the traction control enabled, it willlimit the amount of front wheel lift and rearwheel slip.

If the traction control is not functioning ordisabled (see page 55), avoid opening thethrottle too far or too fast in any of thelower gears as this can lead to the frontwheel lifting from the ground (pulling a'wheelie') and to the rear tire breakingtraction (wheel spin).

Always open the throttle cautiously,particularly if you are unfamiliar with themotorcycle, as a 'wheelie' or loss of tractionwill cause loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

103


BrakingThis motorcycle is equipped with theTriumph Linked Brakes System, combinedwith the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS).

In this system the rear brake is linked to thetwo lower pistons in the front right handbrake caliper.

Operating the rear brake pedal will partiallyoperate the front brake, allowing forbalanced braking under all riding conditions.For full brake effectiveness always operate thefront brake lever and the rear brake pedalsimultaneously.

1. Front brake lever

1. Rear brake pedal

WarningDo not change to a lower gear at speedsthat will cause excessive engine speeds.This can lock the rear wheel causing loss ofcontrol and an accident. Engine damagemay also be caused. Shifting down shouldbe done such that low engine speeds willbe ensured.

WarningDo not coast with the engine switched off,and do not tow the motorcycle. Thetransmission is pressure-lubricated onlywhen the engine is running. Inadequatelubrication may cause damage or seizureof the transmission, which can lead tosudden loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

104


WarningWHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:Close the throttle completely, leaving theclutch engaged to allow the engine to helpslow down the motorcycle.

Change down one gear at a time such thatthe transmission is in first gear when themotorcycle comes to a complete stop.

When stopping, always apply both brakesat the same time. Normally the front brakeshould be applied a little more than therear.

Change down or fully disengage the clutchas necessary to keep the engine fromstalling.

If the ABS is not functioning, never lock thebrakes, as this may cause loss of control ofthe motorcycle and an accident.

WarningFor emergency braking, disregard downshifting, and concentrate on applying thefront and rear brakes as hard as possiblewithout skidding. Riders should practiceemergency braking in a traffic-free area(see ABS warnings below/over).

Triumph strongly recommends that allriders take a course of instruction, whichincludes advice on safe brake operation.Incorrect brake technique could result inloss of control and an accident.

WarningFor your safety, always exercise extremecaution when braking (whether or not ABSis fitted), accelerating or turning as anyimproper action can cause loss of controland an accident. Independent use of thefront or rear brakes reduces overallbraking performance. Extreme brakingmay cause either wheel to lock, reducingcontrol of the motorcycle and causing anaccident (see ABS warnings below).

When possible, reduce speed or brakebefore entering a turn as closing thethrottle or braking in mid-turn may causewheel slip leading to loss of control and anaccident.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions, oron loose surfaces, the ability to maneuverand stop will be reduced. All of youractions should be smooth under theseconditions. Sudden acceleration, braking orturning may cause loss of control and anaccident.

105


ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)Warning

When descending a long, steep gradient,use engine braking by down shifting anduse the brakes intermittently. Continuousbrake application can overheat the brakesand reduce their effectiveness.

Riding with your foot on the brake pedalor your hands on the brake lever mayactuate the brake light, giving a falseindication to other road users. It may alsooverheat the brake, reducing brakingeffectiveness.

Riding the motorcycle with reduced brakeeffectiveness may cause loss of control andan accident.

Riding with either brake actuated will alsoprevent operation of the cruise controlsystem (see page 60).

WarningWhen using the motorcycle on loose, wet,or muddy roads, braking effectiveness willbe reduced by dust, mud or moisturecollecting on the brakes. Always brakeearlier in these conditions to ensure brakesurfaces are cleaned by the braking action.Riding the motorcycle with brakescontaminated with dust, mud or moisturemay cause loss of control and an accident.

WarningABS prevents the wheels from locking,therefore maximizing the effectiveness ofthe braking system in emergencies andwhen riding on slippery surfaces. Thepotentially shorter braking distances ABSallows under certain conditions are not asubstitute for good riding practice.

Always ride within the legal speed limit.

Never ride without due care and attentionand always reduce speed in considerationof weather, road and traffic conditions.

Take care when cornering. If the brakes areapplied in a corner, ABS will not be able tocounteract the weight and momentum ofthe motorcycle. This can result in loss ofcontrol and an accident.

Under some circumstances it is possiblethat a motorcycle equipped with ABS mayrequire a longer stopping distance than anequivalent motorcycle without ABS.

on and off (see page 29). If the ABS warninglight is constantly illuminated it indicates thatthe ABS has a malfunction that requiresinvestigation.

If the indicator light becomes illuminatedwhile riding, it indicates that the ABS has amalfunction that requires investigation.

• Normally, the rider will perceiveABS operation as a harder feel or apulsation of the brake lever andpedal. The ABS is not an integratedbraking system; it controls both thefront and rear brakes independently,so this pulsation may be felt in thelever, the pedal or both.

• The ABS may be activated bysudden upward or downwardchanges (for example bumps orholes) in the road surface.

WarningIf the ABS is not functioning, the brakesystem will continue to function as a non-ABS braking system. Do not continue toride for longer than is necessary with theindicator light illuminated. In the event of afault, contact an authorized Triumph dealeras soon as possible to have the faultchecked and rectified. In this situation,braking too hard will cause the wheels tolock resulting in loss of control and anaccident.

WarningThe ABS warning light will illuminate whenthe rear wheel is driven at high speed formore than 30 seconds when themotorcycle is on a stand. This reaction isnormal.

When the ignition is switched off and themotorcycle is re-started, the warning lightwill illuminate until the motorcycle reachesa speed exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h).

WarningThe ABS computer operates by comparingthe relative speed of the front and rearwheels. Use of non-recommended tirescan affect wheel speed and cause the ABSfunction not to operate, potentially leadingto loss of control and an accident inconditions where the ABS would normallyfunction.

Parking

Select neutral and turn the ignition switch tothe OFF position.

Lock the steering to help prevent theft.

Always park on a firm, level surface toprevent the motorcycle from falling. This isparticularly important when parking off road.

When parking on a hill, always park facinguphill to prevent the motorcycle from rollingoff the stand. Engage first gear to prevent themotorcycle from moving.

On a lateral (sideways) incline, always parksuch that the incline naturally pushes themotorcycle towards the side stand.

Do not park on a lateral (sideways) incline ofgreater than 6° and never park facingdownhill.

Note:

• When parking near traffic at night,or when parking in a location whereparking lights are required by law,leave the tail, license plate andposition lights on by turning theignition switch to P (PARK).

Do not leave the switch in the P position forlong periods of time as this will discharge thebattery.

Considerations for High-Speed Operation

WarningThis Triumph motorcycle should beoperated within the legal speed limits forthe particular road travelled. Operating amotorcycle at high speeds can bepotentially dangerous since the timeavailable to react to given traffic situationsis greatly reduced as road speed increases.Always reduce speed in consideration ofweather and traffic conditions.

WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle athigh speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed-course racetracks.High-speed operation should only then beattempted by riders who have beeninstructed in the techniques necessary forhigh-speed riding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions.


WarningThe handling characteristics of amotorcycle at high speed may vary fromthose you are familiar with at legal roadspeeds. Do not attempt high-speedoperation unless you have receivedsufficient training and have the requiredskills as a serious accident may result fromincorrect operation.

WarningThe items listed are extremely importantand must never be neglected. A problem,which may not be noticed at normaloperating speeds, may be greatlyexaggerated at high speeds.

109


GeneralEnsure the motorcycle has been maintainedaccording to the scheduled maintenancechart.

SteeringCheck that the handlebar turns smoothlywithout excessive free play or tight spots.Ensure that the control cables do not restrictthe steering in any way.

LuggageMake certain that any luggage containers areclosed, locked and securely fitted to themotorcycle.

BrakesCheck that the front and rear brakes arefunctioning properly.

TiresHigh-speed operation is hard on tires, andtires that are in good condition are crucial toriding safely. Examine their overall condition,inflate to the correct pressure (when the tiresare cold), and check the wheel balance.Securely fit the valve caps after checking tirepressures. Observe the information given inthe Maintenance and Specification sectionson tire checking and tire safety.

FuelHave sufficient fuel for the increased fuelconsumption that will result from high-speedoperation.

Engine OilMake certain that the engine oil level iscorrect. Ensure that the correct grade andtype of oil is used when topping off.

Final Drive OilMake certain that the final drive oil level iscorrect. Ensure that the correct grade andtype of oil is used when topping off.

CoolantCheck that the coolant level is at the upperlevel line in the expansion tank. (Alwayscheck the level with the engine cold.)

Electrical EquipmentMake certain that the headlight, rear/brakelight, direction indicators, horn, etc. all workproperly.

MiscellaneousVisually check that all fasteners are tight.

CautionThe exhaust system is fitted with a catalyticconverter to help reduce exhaust emissionlevels. The catalytic converter can bepermanently damaged if the motorcycle isallowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel levelis allowed to get very low. Always ensureyou have adequate fuel for your journey.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

ACCESSORIES, LOADING AND PASSENGERSThe addition of accessories and carrying ofadditional weight can affect the motorcycle'shandling characteristics causing changes instability and necessitating a reduction inspeed. The following information has beenprepared as a guide to the potential hazardsof adding accessories to a motorcycle andcarrying passengers and additional loads.

Adjust the headlight aim to compensate foradditional loads, see page 48.

WarningIncorrect loading may result in an unsaferiding condition leading to an accident.

Always ensure any loads carried are evenlydistributed on both sides of the motorcycle.Ensure that the load is correctly securedsuch that it will not move around while themotorcycle is in motion.

Always check the load security regularly(though not while the motorcycle is inmotion) and ensure that the load does notextend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.

Never exceed the Maximum VehicleLoading Weight of 526 lbs (239 kg).

This maximum loading weight is made upfrom the combined weight of the rider,passenger, any accessories fitted and anyload carried.

WarningDo not install accessories or carry luggagethat impairs the control of the motorcycle.Make sure that you have not adverselyaffected the visibility of any lightingcomponent, road clearance, bankingcapability (i.e. lean angle), controloperation, wheel travel, ABS operation,front fork movement, visibility in anydirection, or any other aspect of themotorcycle's operation.


WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle athigh speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed-course racetracks.High-speed operation should only then beattempted by riders who have beeninstructed in the techniques necessary forhigh-speed riding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions.


112


WarningYour passenger should be instructed thathe or she can cause loss of motorcyclecontrol by making sudden movements orby adopting an incorrect seated position.

The rider should instruct the passenger asfollows:

• It is important that the passenger sitsstill while the motorcycle is in motionand does not interfere with theoperation of the motorcycle.

• To keep his or her feet on thepassenger footrests and to firmly holdonto the grab handles or the rider'swaist or hips.

Engine Oil

In order for the engine, transmission, andclutch to function correctly, maintain theengine oil at the correct level, and change theoil and oil filter in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.

Oil Level Inspection

1. Sight glass2. Oil level (correct level shown)3. Crankcase oil level lines

With the motorcycle upright and off the sidestand, check to see if oil is visible in thesight-glass at a point mid-way between theupper (maximum) and lower (minimum)horizontal lines marked on the crankcase.The sight-glass can be viewed through anopening in the right hand lower fairing.

WarningMotorcycle operation with insufficient,deteriorated, or contaminated engine oilwill cause accelerated engine wear andmay result in engine or transmissionseizure. Seizure of the engine ortransmission may lead to sudden loss ofcontrol and an accident.

cbnz

WarningNever start the engine or run the engine in aconfined area. Exhaust fumes are poisonousand can cause loss of consciousness anddeath within a short period of time. Alwaysoperate your motorcycle in the open-air orin an area with adequate ventilation.

CautionRunning the engine with insufficient oil willcause engine damage. If the low oil pressureindicator remains on, stop the engineimmediately and investigate the cause.

Oil Level Adjustment

1. Filler plugIf it is necessary to top off the oil level,remove the filler plug and add oil, a little at atime, until the level registered in the sightglass is correct. Refit and tighten the fillerplug.

Note:

• An accurate indication of the level ofoil in the engine is only shown whenthe engine is at normal operatingtemperature and the motorcycle isupright (not on the side/centerstand).

Start the engine and run at idle forapproximately five minutes.

Stop the engine, then wait for at leastthree minutes for the oil to settle.

Note the oil level visible in the sight glass.

When correct, oil should be visible in thesight-glass at a point mid-way between theupper (maximum) and lower (minimum)horizontal lines marked on the crankcase.

If necessary, top off the oil level as describedearlier.

Once the correct level is reached, fit andtighten the filler plug.

Oil and Oil Filter Change

1. Oil drain plug

1. Oil filterThe engine oil and filter must be replaced inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Warm up the engine thoroughly, and thenstop the engine and secure the motorcycle inan upright position on level ground.

Place an oil drain pan beneath the engine.

Remove the oil drain plug.

Unscrew and remove the oil filter usingTriumph service tool T3880313. Dispose ofthe old filter in an environmentally friendlyway.

Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil to thesealing ring of the new oil filter. Fit the oilfilter and tighten to 89 lbf-in (10 Nm).

After the oil has completely drained out,install a new sealing washer to the drain plug.Fit and tighten the plug to 18 lbf-ft (25 Nm).

Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oilthat meets specification API SH (or higher)and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil,sold as Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W-40(fully synthetic) in some countries.

Start the engine and allow it to idle for aminimum of 30 seconds.

Ensure that the low oil pressure warning lightremains off after starting and OIL PRESSURELOW is not visible in the instrument's displayscreen.

Stop the engine and re-check the oil level.Adjust if necessary.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil FiltersTo protect the environment, do not pour oilon the ground, down sewers or drains, orinto groundwater sources. Do not place usedoil filters in with general waste. If in doubt,contact your local authority.

WarningThe oil may be hot to the touch. Avoidcontact with the hot oil by wearing suitableprotective clothing, gloves, eye protection,etc. Contact with hot oil may cause the skinto be scalded or burned.

CautionRaising the engine speed above idle beforethe oil reaches all parts of the engine cancause engine damage or seizure. Onlyraise the engine speed after running theengine for 30 seconds to allow the oil tocirculate fully.

CautionIf the engine oil pressure is too low, the lowoil pressure warning light will illuminate. Ifthis light stays on when the engine isrunning, stop the engine immediately andinvestigate the cause. Running the enginewith low oil pressure will cause enginedamage.

127


Oil Specification and GradeTriumph high performance fuel injectedengines are designed to use 10W/40 or15W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycleengine oil that meets specification API SH (orhigher) and JASO MA, such as CastrolPower 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic)engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RSRacing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in somecountries.

Do not add any chemical additives to theengine oil. The engine oil also lubricates theclutch and any additives could cause theclutch to slip.

Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergentoil, castor based oils or any oil notconforming to the required specification. Theuse of these oils may cause instant, severeengine damage.

Cooling System

To ensure efficientengine cooling, checkthe coolant level eachday before riding themotorcycle, and top offthe coolant if the levelis low.

Note:

• A year-round, Hybrid Organic AcidTechnology (known as Hybrid OATor HOAT) coolant is installed in thecooling system when the motorcycleleaves the factory. It is coloredgreen, contains a 50% solution ofethylene glycol based anti-freeze,and has a freezing point of -31°F(-35°C).

Corrosion InhibitorsTo protect the cooling system from corrosion,the use of corrosion inhibitor chemicals in thecoolant is essential.

If coolant containing a corrosion inhibitor isnot used, the cooling system will accumulaterust and scale in the water jacket and radiator.This will block the coolant passages, andconsiderably reduce the efficiency of thecooling system.

cbob

128


Note:

• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, assupplied by Triumph, is pre-mixedand does not need to be dilutedprior to filling or topping off thecooling system.

Coolant Level Inspection

Note:

• The coolant level should be checkedwhen the engine is cold (at room orambient temperature).

1. Expansion tank2. MAX mark3. MIN mark

Position the motorcycle on level ground andin an upright position. Check the coolantlevel in the expansion tank by looking upthrough the center opening of the frontfairing.

Check the coolant level in the expansiontank. The coolant level must be between theMAX and MIN marks. If the coolant is belowthe minimum level, the coolant level must beadjusted.

WarningHD4X Hybrid OAT coolant containscorrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze suitablefor aluminum engines and radiators.Always use the coolant in accordance withthe instructions of the manufacturer.

Coolant that contains anti-freeze andcorrosion inhibitors contains toxicchemicals that are harmful to the humanbody. Never swallow anti-freeze or any ofthe motorcycle coolant.

Note:

• If the coolant level is being checkedbecause the coolant has overheated,also check the level in the radiatorand top off if necessary.

• In an emergency, distilled water canbe added to the cooling system.However, the coolant must then bedrained and replenished with HD4XHybrid OAT coolant as soon aspossible.

Coolant ChangeHave the coolant changed by an authorizedTriumph dealer in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.

Radiator and HosesCheck the radiator hoses for cracks ordeterioration, and hose clips for tightness inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements. Have your authorized Triumphdealer replace any defective items.

Check the radiator fins for obstructions byinsects, leaves or mud. Clean off anyobstructions with a stream of low-pressurewater.

CautionIf hard water is used in the cooling system,it will cause scale accumulation in theengine and radiator and considerablyreduce the efficiency of the cooling system.Reduced cooling system efficiency maycause the engine to overheat and suffersevere damage.

WarningThe fan operates automatically when theengine is running. Always keep hands andclothing away from the fan as contact withthe rotating fan can cause injury.

CautionUsing high-pressure water sprays, such asfrom a car wash facility or householdpressure washer, can damage the radiatorfins, cause leaks and impair the radiator'sefficiency.

Do not obstruct or deflect airflow throughthe radiator by installing unauthorizedaccessories, either in front of the radiator orbehind the cooling fan. Interference withthe radiator airflow can cause overheating,potentially resulting in engine damage.

Throttle Control

Inspection

Check that the throttle opens smoothly,without undue force and that it closes withoutsticking. Have your authorized Triumphdealer check the throttle system if a problemis detected or any doubt exists.

Check that there is 1 - 2 mm of throttle gripfree play when lightly turning the throttle gripback and forth.

If there is an incorrect amount of free play,Triumph recommends that you have yourauthorized Triumph dealer investigate.

ClutchThe motorcycle is equipped with ahydraulically operated clutch that does notrequire adjustment.

Clutch Fluid Level Inspection and Adjustment

Inspect the level of brake and clutch fluid inthe reservoir and change the fluid inaccordance with the scheduled maintenancerequirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid asrecommended in the specification section.The brake and clutch fluid must also bechanged if it becomes, or is suspected ofhaving become contaminated with moistureor any other contaminates.

WarningAlways be alert for changes in the 'feel' ofthe throttle control and have the throttlesystem checked by an authorized Triumphdealer if any changes are detected.Changes can be due to wear in themechanism, which could lead to a stickingthrottle control.

A sticking or stuck throttle control will leadto loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningUse of the motorcycle with a sticking ordamaged throttle control will interfere withthe throttle function resulting in loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

To avoid continued use of a sticking ordamaged throttle control, always have itchecked by your authorized Triumphdealer.

WarningUse only DOT 4 specification brake andclutch fluid as listed in the specificationsection of this handbook. The use of brakeand clutch fluids other than those DOT 4fluids listed in the specification section mayreduce the efficiency of the clutch systemleading to an accident.

Failure to change the brake and clutch fluidat the interval specified in the scheduledmaintenance chart may reduce clutchefficiency resulting in an accident.

After fitting new brake discs and/or padsavoid extreme braking, ride with caution andallow for greater braking distances during thebreaking-in period.

Brake Pad Wear CompensationDisc and brake pad wear is automaticallycompensated for and has no effect on thebrake lever or pedal action. There are noparts that require adjustment on the frontand rear brakes.Warning

Brake pads must always be replaced as awheel set. At the front, where two calipersare mounted on the same wheel, replaceall the brake pads in both calipers.

Replacing individual pads will reducebraking efficiency and may cause anaccident.

After replacement brake pads have beenfitted, ride with extreme caution until thenew pads have 'broken in'.

WarningBrake pad wear will be increased if themotorcycle is used frequently off-road.Always inspect the brake pads morefrequently if the motorcycle is used off-road, and replace the brake pads beforethey become worn to, or beyond theminimum service thickness.

Riding with worn brake pads may reducebraking efficiency, leading to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

WarningIf the brake lever or pedal feels soft when itis applied, or if the lever/pedal travelbecomes excessive, there may be air in thebrake lines and hoses or the brakes maybe defective.

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycleunder such conditions and your authorizedTriumph dealer must rectify the faultbefore riding.

Riding with defective brakes may lead toloss of motorcycle control and an accident.

135


Disc Brake FluidInspect the level of brake fluid in bothreservoirs and change the brake fluid inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid asrecommended in the Specification section.The brake fluid must also be changed if itbecomes, or is suspected of having becomecontaminated with moisture or any othercontaminants.

Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection and Adjustment

1. Upper level line2. Lower level line

The brake fluid level in the reservoirs must bekept between the upper and lower level lines(reservoir held horizontal).

To inspect the fluid level, check the level offluid visible in the window at the front of thereservoir body.

To adjust the fluid level, release the capscrews and detach the cover noting theposition of the sealing diaphragm.


Refit the cover, ensuring that the diaphragmseal is correctly positioned between the capand reservoir body. Tighten the cap retainingscrews to 13.5 lbf-in (1.5 Nm).

WarningBrake fluid is hygroscopic which means itwill absorb moisture from the air.

Any absorbed moisture will greatly reducethe boiling point of the brake fluid causinga reduction in braking efficiency.

Because of this, always replace brake fluidin accordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Always use new brake fluid from a sealedcontainer and never use fluid from anunsealed container or from one which hasbeen previously opened.

Do not mix different brands or grades ofbrake fluid.

Check for fluid leakage around brakefittings, seals and joints and also check thebrake hoses for splits, deterioration anddamage.

Tires

This model is equipped with tubeless tires,valves and wheel rims. Use only tires marked'TUBELESS' and tubeless valves on rimsmarked 'SUITABLE FOR TUBELESS TIRES'.

Typical Tire Marking - Tubeless Tire

Wheel Marking - Tubeless Wheel

WarningDo not install tube-type tires on tubelessrims. The bead will not seat and the tirescould slip on the rims, causing rapid tiredeflation that may result in a loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident. Never install aninner tube inside a tubeless tire. This willcause friction inside the tire and theresulting heat build-up may cause the tubeto burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, lossof vehicle control and an accident.

144


Tire Inflation PressuresCorrect tire inflation pressures will providemaximum stability, rider comfort and tire life.Always check tire pressures before ridingwhen the tires are cold. Check tire pressuresdaily and adjust if necessary (see Specificationsection for correct inflation pressures).Alternatively, ask your authorized Triumphdealer to inspect your wheels and tires.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (if equipped)The tire pressures shown on your instrumentsindicate the actual tire pressure at the time ofselecting the display. This may differ from theinflation pressure set when the tires are coldbecause tires become warmer during riding,causing the air in the tire to expand andincrease the inflation pressure. The coldinflation pressures specified by Triumph takeaccount of this.

Owners must only adjust tire pressures whenthe tires are cold using an accurate pressuregauge, and must not use the tire pressuredisplay on the instruments.

WarningIncorrect tire inflation will cause abnormaltread wear and instability problems whichmay lead to loss of control and an accident.

Under-inflation may result in the tireslipping on, or coming off the rim.Over-inflation will cause instability andaccelerated tread wear.

Both conditions are dangerous as they maycause loss of control leading to an accident.

WarningTire pressures which have been reducedfor off-road riding will impair on-roadstability. Always ensure the tire pressuresare set as described in the Specificationsection for on-road use.

Operation of the motorcycle with incorrecttire pressures may cause loss of motorcyclecontrol leading to an accident.

As the tire tread wears down, the tirebecomes more susceptible to punctures. It isestimated that 90% of all tire problems occurduring the last 10% of tread life (90% worn).It is therefore not recommended to use tiresuntil they are worn to their minimum.

Minimum Recommended Tread DepthIn accordance with the periodic maintenancechart, measure the depth of the tread with adepth gauge, and replace any tire that hasworn to, or beyond, the minimum allowabletread depth specified in the table below:

Under 80 mph (130 km/h)

0.08 in (2 mm)

Over 80 mph (130 km/h)

Rear 0.12 in (3 mm) Front 0.08 in (2 mm)

WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle athigh speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed-course racetracks.High-speed operation should only then beattempted by riders who have beeninstructed in the techniques necessary forhigh-speed riding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions. High-speed operation in anyother circumstances is dangerous and willlead to loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningOperation with excessively worn tires ishazardous and will adversely affecttraction, stability and handling which maylead to loss of control and an accident.

When tires become punctured, leakage isoften very slow. Always inspect tires veryclosely for punctures. Check the tires forcuts, embedded nails or other sharpobjects. Operation with punctured ordamaged tires will adversely affect stabilityand handling which may lead to loss ofcontrol or an accident.

Check the rims for dents or deformation.Operation with damaged or defectivewheels or tires is dangerous and loss ofcontrol or an accident could result.

Always consult your authorized Triumphdealer for tire replacement, or for a safetyinspection of the wheels and tires.

146


Tire ReplacementAll Triumph motorcycles are carefully andextensively tested in a range of ridingconditions to ensure that the most effectivetire combinations are approved for use oneach model. It is essential that approved tires,mounted in approved combinations, are usedwhen purchasing replacement tires. The useof non-approved tires in non-approvedcombinations, may lead to motorcycleinstability, loss of control and an accident.

On models equipped with ABS, differentwheel speeds, caused by non-approved tires,can affect the function of the ABS computer.

See the Specification section for details ofapproved tire combinations. Always have tiresmounted and balanced by your authorizedTriumph dealer who has the necessarytraining and skills to ensure safe, effectivemounting.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System(Only on models equipped with TPMS)

CautionAn adhesive label is fitted to the wheel rimto indicate the position of the tire pressuresensor. Care must be taken when replacingthe tires to prevent any damage to the tirepressure sensors. Always have your tiresmounted by your authorized Triumphdealer and inform them that tire pressuresensors are mounted to the wheels.

WarningUse of non-recommended tires can affectwheel speed and cause the TriumphTraction Control function not to operate,potentially leading to loss of control and anaccident in conditions where the TriumphTraction Control would normally function.

WarningThe ABS computer operates by comparingthe relative speed of the front and rearwheels. Use of non-recommended tirescan affect wheel speed and cause the ABSfunction not to operate, potentially leadingto loss of control and an accident inconditions where the ABS would normallyfunction.

147


WarningIf a tire sustains a puncture, the tire mustbe replaced. Failure to replace a puncturedtire, or operation with a repaired tire, canlead to instability, loss of control or anaccident.

WarningDo not install tube-type tires on tubelessrims. The bead will not seat and the tirescould slip on the rims, causing rapid tiredeflation that may result in a loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident. Never install aninner tube inside a tubeless tire. This willcause friction inside the tire and theresulting heat build-up may cause the tubeto burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, lossof vehicle control and an accident.

WarningIf tire damage is suspected, such as afterstriking the curb, ask your authorizedTriumph dealer to inspect the tire bothinternally and externally. Remember, tiredamage may not always be visible fromthe outside. Operation of the motorcyclewith damaged tires could lead to loss ofcontrol and an accident.

WarningWhen replacement tires are required,consult your authorized Triumph dealerwho will arrange for the tires to beselected, in a correct combination, from theapproved list and mounted according tothe tire manufacturer's instructions.

When tires are replaced, allow time for thetires to seat to the rim (approximately24 hours). During this seating period, ridecautiously as an incorrectly seated tirecould cause instability, loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

Initially, the new tires will not produce thesame handling characteristics as the worntires and the rider must allow adequateriding distance (approximately 100 miles)to become accustomed to the newhandling characteristics.

24 hours after installation, the tirepressures must be checked and adjusted,and the tires examined for correct seating.Rectification must be carried out asnecessary.

The same checks and adjustments mustalso be carried out when 100 miles havebeen travelled after installation.

Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seatedtires, incorrectly adjusted tire pressures, orwhen not accustomed to its handlingcharacteristics, may lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

148


BatteryWarning

Tires that have been used on a rolling roaddynamometer may become damaged. Insome cases, the damage may not be visibleon the external surface of the tire. Tiresmust be replaced after such use ascontinued use of a damaged tire may leadto instability, loss of control and anaccident.

WarningUse of a motorcycle with incorrectly seatedtires, incorrectly adjusted tire pressures, orwhen not accustomed to its handlingcharacteristics, may lead to loss of controland an accident.

WarningAccurate wheel balance is necessary forsafe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Donot remove or change any wheel balanceweights. Incorrect wheel balance maycause instability leading to loss of controland an accident.

When wheel balancing is required, such asafter tire replacement, see your authorizedTriumph dealer.

Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-onweights may damage the wheel and tireresulting in tire deflation, loss of controland an accident.

Battery MaintenanceClean the battery using a clean, dry cloth. Besure that the cable connections are clean.

The battery is a sealed type and does notrequire any maintenance other than checkingthe Voltage and routine recharging whenrequired, such as during storage.

It is not possible to adjust the battery acidlevel in the battery; the sealing strip must notbe removed.

Battery Discharge

Under normal conditions, the motorcyclecharging system will keep the battery fullycharged. However, if the motorcycle isunused, the battery will gradually dischargedue to a normal process called self discharge;the clock, engine control module (ECM)memory, high ambient temperatures, or theaddition of electrical security systems or otherelectrical accessories will all increase this rateof battery discharge. Disconnecting thebattery from the motorcycle during storagewill reduce the rate of discharge.

WarningThe battery acid is corrosive and poisonousand will cause damage to unprotectedskin. Never swallow battery acid or allow itto come into contact with the skin. Toprevent injury, always wear eye and skinprotection when handling the battery.

CautionThe charge level in the battery must bemaintained to maximize battery life.

Failure to maintain the battery charge levelcould cause serious internal damage to thebattery.

151


Battery Maintenance During Storage and Infrequent Use of the MotorcycleDuring storage or infrequent use of themotorcycle, inspect the battery Voltageweekly using a digital multimeter. Follow themanufacturer's instructions supplied with themeter.

Should the battery Voltage fall below12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged(see page 151).

Allowing a battery to discharge or leaving itdischarged for even a short period of timecauses sulphation of the lead plates.Sulphation is a normal part of the chemicalreaction inside the battery, however over timethe sulphate can crystallize on the platesmaking recovery difficult or impossible. Thispermanent damage is not covered by themotorcycle warranty, as it is not due to amanufacturing defect.

Keeping the battery fully charged reduces thelikelihood of it freezing in cold conditions.Allowing a battery to freeze will cause seriousinternal damage to the battery.

Preparation for WashingBefore washing, precautions must be takento keep water off the following places.

Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover with aplastic bag secured with rubber bands.

Clutch and brake levers, switch housings onthe handlebar: Cover with plastic bags.

Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover thekeyhole with tape.

Remove any items of jewelry such as rings,watches, zips or belt buckles, which mayscratch or otherwise damage painted orpolished surfaces.

Use separate cleaning sponges or cleaningcloths for washing painted/polished surfacesand chassis areas. Chassis areas (such aswheels and under fenders) will be exposed tomore abrasive road grime and dust, whichmay then scratch painted or polishedsurfaces, if the same sponge or cleaningcloths are used.

Where to be CarefulAvoid spraying water with any great forcenear the following places:

• Instruments;

• Brake cylinders and brake calipers;

• Steering head bearings.

Note:

• Use of soaps that are highly alkalinewill leave a residue on paintedsurfaces, and may also cause waterspotting. Always use a low alkalinesoap to aid the cleaning process.

CautionAny water sprayed around the air intakeduct could enter the airbox and engine,causing damage to both items.

CautionUse of high-pressure spray washers is notrecommended. When using pressurewashers, water may be forced intobearings and other components causingpremature wear from corrosion and loss oflubrication.

163


After WashingRemove the plastic bags and tape, and clearthe air intakes.

Test the brakes before motorcycle operation.

Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes.Ensure adequate ventilation for the exhaustfumes.

Use a dry cloth to absorb water residue. Donot allow water to stand on the machine asthis will lead to corrosion.

Seat Care

To help maintain its appearance, clean theseat using a sponge or cleaning cloth withsoap and water.

Unpainted Aluminum ItemsItems such as brake and clutch levers, wheels,engine covers, top and bottom yokes onsome models must be correctly cleaned topreserve their appearance. Please contactyour dealer if you are unsure whichcomponents on your motorcycle areunpainted aluminum parts.

Use a proprietary brand of aluminum cleaner.

Clean aluminum items regularly, in particularafter use in inclement weather, where thecomponents must be hand washed and driedeach time the machine is used.

Warranty claims due to inadequatemaintenance will not be allowed.

WarningNever wax or lubricate the brake discs.Loss of braking power and an accidentcould result. Clean the disc with aproprietary brand of oil-free brake disccleaner.

CautionUse of chemicals or high-pressure spraywashers is not recommended for cleaningthe seat. Using chemicals or pressurewashers may damage the seat cover.

164


Windshield Cleaning

Clean the windshield with a solution of mildsoap or detergent and lukewarm water. Aftercleaning, rinse well and then dry with a soft,lint free cloth.

If the transparency of the windshield isreduced by scratches or oxidation whichcannot be removed, the windshield must bereplaced.

CautionProducts such as window cleaning fluids,insect remover, rain repellent, scouringcompounds, gasoline or strong solventssuch as alcohol, acetone, carbontetrachloride, etc. will damage thewindshield. Never allow these products tocontact the screen.

WarningNever attempt to clean the windshieldwhile the motorcycle is in motion asreleasing the handlebars may cause loss ofvehicle control and an accident.

Operation of the motorcycle with adamaged or scratched windshield willreduce the rider's forward vision. Any suchreduction in forward vision is dangerousand may lead to an accident causing injuryor death.

CautionCorrosive chemicals such as battery acidwill damage the windshield. Never allowcorrosive chemicals to contact thewindshield.

165


Cleaning of the Exhaust SystemAll parts of the exhaust system of yourmotorcycle must be cleaned regularly toavoid a deterioration of its appearance.

Note:

• The exhaust system must be coolbefore washing to prevent waterspotting.

WashingPrepare a mixture of cold water and mildautomotive cleaner. Do not use a highlyalkaline soap as commonly found atcommercial car washes because it leaves aresidue.

Wash the exhaust system with a soft cloth. Donot use an abrasive scouring pad or steelwool. They will damage the finish.

Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.

Ensure no soap or water enters the mufflers.

DryingDry the exhaust system as far as possible witha soft cloth. Do not run the engine to dry thesystem or spotting will occur.

ProtectingWhen the exhaust system is dry, rub'Motorex 645 Clean and Protect' into thesurface.

It is recommended that regular protection beapplied to the system as this will both protectand enhance the system's appearance.

CautionThe use of abrasive cleaners and polisheswill damage the system and must not beused.

Preparation For StorageClean and dry the entire vehicle thoroughly.

Fill the fuel tank with the correct grade ofunleaded fuel and add a fuel stabilizer (ifavailable), following the fuel stabilizermanufacturer's instructions.

Remove the spark plug from each cylinderand put several drops (5 ml) of engine oil intoeach cylinder. Cover the spark plug holeswith a piece of cloth or rag. With the enginestop switch in the RUN position, push thestarter button for a few seconds to coat thecylinder walls with oil. Install the spark plugs,tightening to 9 lbf-ft (12 Nm).

Change the engine oil and filter (seepage 125).

Check and if necessary correct the tirepressures (see page 173).

Set the motorcycle on a stand so that bothwheels are raised off the ground. (If thiscannot be done, put boards under the frontand rear wheels to keep dampness awayfrom the tires.)

Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are a host ofproducts on the market and your dealer willbe able to offer you local advice) on allunpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting.Prevent oil from getting on rubber parts,brake discs or in the brake calipers.

Make sure the cooling system is filled with a50% mixture of coolant (noting thatHD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied byTriumph, is pre-mixed and requires nodilution) and distilled water solution (seepage 127).

Remove the battery, and store it where it willnot be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture,or freezing temperatures. During storage itshould be given a slow charge (one ampereor less) about once every two weeks (seepage 148).

Store the motorcycle in a cool, dry area, awayfrom sunlight, and with a minimum dailytemperature variation.

Put a suitable porous cover over themotorcycle to keep dust and dirt fromcollecting on it. Avoid using plastic or similarnon-breathable, coated materials that restrictair flow and allow heat and moisture toaccumulate.

WarningGasoline is extremely flammable and canbe explosive under certain conditions. Turnthe ignition switch off. Do not smoke.Make sure the area is well ventilated andfree from any source of flame or sparks;this includes any appliance with a pilotlight.
