Speedometer and Odometer

The digital speedometer indicates the road speed of the motorcycle. The read-out displays the motorcycle road speed in increments of one kilometre (or mile) per hour. In the speedometer face is the electronic odometer and two trip meters. For details of the operation of the odometer and trip meters, please refer to the following pages.

Odometer/Trip Meter

Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute - rpm (r/min). On the right side of the tachometer face is the 'red zone'. Engine rpm (r/min) in the red zone is above maximum recommended engine speed and is also above the range for best performance.

Odometer/Trip meter display Set button Trip button Trip meter 1 display Trip meter 2 display
Never allow engine rpm to enter the 'red zone' as severe engine damage may result.
The odometer shows the total distance that the motorcycle has travelled. The odometer and two trip meters are located in the same display frame as the speedometer. Either trip meter shows the distance that the motorcycle has travelled since the meter on display was last reset to zero.
Do not attempt to switch between odometer and trip meter display modes or reset the trip meter with the motorcycle in motion as this may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Use the 'trip' button to switch between the odometer and trip meter display modes. Press the 'trip' button repeatedly until the desired display is visible. The display will scroll through in the order: Odometer Trip Meter 1 Trip Meter 2

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 control or an accident. Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h) absolute limit will reduce by the fitting of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.

Accessories and Loading

This motorcycle must not be operated above the legal road speed limit except in authorised closed-course conditions.
Your passenger should be instructed that he or she can cause loss of motorcycle control by making sudden movements or by adopting an incorrect seated position. The rider should instruct the passenger as follows: It is important that the passenger sits still while the motorcycle is in motion and does not interfere with the operation of the motorcycle. To keep his or her feet on the passenger footrests and to firmly hold onto the seat strap or the rider's waist or hips. Advise the passenger to lean with the rider when travelling around corners and not to lean unless the rider does so.
Do not carry animals on your motorcycle. An animal could make sudden and unpredictable movements that could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
The handling and braking capabilities of a motorcycle will be affected by the presence of a passenger. The rider must make allowances for these changes when operating the motorcycle with a passenger and should not attempt such operation unless trained to do so and without becoming familiar and comfortable with the changes in motorcycle operating characteristics that this brings about. Motorcycle operation without making allowances for the presence of a passenger could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Do not carry a passenger unless he or she is tall enough to reach the footrests provided. A passenger who is not tall enough to reach the footrests will be unable to sit securely on the motorcycle and may cause instability leading to loss of control and an accident.
If the passenger seat is used to carry small objects, they must not exceed 3.5 kg in weight, must not impair control of the motorcycle, must be securely attached and must not extend beyond the rear or sides of the motorcycle. Carriage of objects in excess of 3.5 kg in weight, that are insecure, impair control or extend beyond the rear or sides of the motorcycle may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. Even if small objects are correctly loaded onto the rear seat, the maximum speed of the motorcycle must be reduced to 80 mph (130 km/h).

Do not use a pressure wash to clean the chain as this may cause damage to the chain components.
A loose or worn chain, or a chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could catch on the engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel. A chain that snags on the engine sprocket will injure the rider and lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. Similarly, locking the rear wheel will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Chain Free-Movement Inspection Chain Free-Movement Adjustment
The vertical movement of the drive chain must be in the range 40 - 50 mm.
1. Maximum movement position
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle. Park the motorcycle on the side stand. Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the chain is tightest, and measure the vertical movement of the chain midway between the sprockets.
1. Adjuster clamp bolt 2. C-spanner 3. Eccentric adjuster Loosen the adjuster clamp bolt Using the C-spanner supplied in the tool kit, turn the rear hub/eccentric adjuster (clockwise to loosen, anti-clockwise to tighten) until the drive chain is correctly adjusted. Tighten the clamp bolt to 55 Nm. Repeat the chain adjustment check. Re-adjust if necessary.
Operation of the motorcycle with an insecure rear hub/eccentric adjuster clamp bolt may result in impaired stability and handling of the motorcycle. This impaired stability and handling may lead to loss of control or an accident.
Check the rear brake effectiveness. Rectify if necessary. If the length exceeds the maximum service limit of 321 mm, the chain must be replaced. Rotate the rear wheel and inspect the drive chain for damaged rollers, and loose pins and links. Also inspect the sprockets for unevenly or excessively worn or damaged teeth.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with defective brakes and you must have your authorised Triumph dealer take remedial action before you attempt to ride the motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of control or an accident.
WORN TOOTH WORN TOOTH (ENGINE SPROCKET) (REAR SPROCKET)
Chain and Sprocket Wear Inspection
(Sprocket wear exaggerated for illustrative purposes)
If there is any irregularity, have the drive chain and/or the sprockets replaced by an authorised Triumph dealer. Replace the chain guards.
1. Measure across 20 links 2. Weight Remove the chain guards. Stretch the chain taut by hanging a 10 - 20 kg weight on the chain. Measure the length of 20 links on the straight part of the chain from pin centre of the 1st pin to the pin centre of the 21st pin. Since the chain may wear unevenly, take measurements in several places. The use of non-approved chains may result in a broken chain or may cause the chain to jump off the sprockets. Use a genuine Triumph supplied chain as specified in the Triumph parts catalogue. Never neglect chain maintenance and always have chains installed by an authorised Triumph dealer.

Brakes Caution

If the sprockets are found to be worn, always replace the sprockets and drive chain together. Replacing worn sprockets without also replacing the chain will lead to premature wear of the new sprockets.

Brake Wear Inspection

1. Brake pads Brake pads must be inspected in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements and replaced if worn to, or beyond the minimum service thickness. If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rear brakes) is less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in), replace all the pads on the wheel.
Brake pads must always be replaced as a wheel set. At the front, where two calipers are fitted on the same wheel, replace all the brake pads in both calipers. Replacing individual pads will reduce braking efficiency and may cause an accident. After replacement brake pads have been fitted, ride with extreme caution until the new pads have 'broken in'.
Brake Pad Wear Compensation
Disc and brake pad wear is automatically compensated for and has no effect on the brake lever or pedal action. There are no parts that require adjustment on the front and rear brakes.

Disc Brake Fluid

Inspect the level of brake fluid in both reservoirs and change the brake fluid in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as recommended in the Specification section. The brake fluid must also be changed if it becomes, or is suspected of having become contaminated with moisture or any other contaminants.
If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel becomes excessive, there may be air in the brake pipes and hoses or the brakes may be defective. It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such conditions and your authorised Triumph dealer must rectify the fault before riding. Riding with defective brakes may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air. Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid causing a reduction in braking efficiency. Because of this, always replace brake fluid in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container and never use fluid from an unsealed container or from one which has been previously opened. Do not mix different brands or grades of brake fluid. Check for fluid leakage around brake fittings, seals and joints and also check the brake hoses for splits, deterioration and damage. Always rectify any faults before riding. Failure to observe and act upon any of these items may cause a dangerous riding condition leading to loss of control and an accident.

The standard suspension settings provide a comfortable ride and good handling characteristics for general, solo riding. The chart shows suggested settings for the front and rear suspension.
Ensure that the correct balance between front and rear suspension is maintained. Suspension imbalance could significantly change handling characteristics leading to loss of control and an accident. Refer to the chart above for further information or consult your dealer.
Front Suspension Settings Rebound Damping Adjustment
The rebound damping adjuster is located at the top of the left hand fork only.
To change the rebound damping force, rotate the slotted adjuster clockwise to increase, or anti-clockwise to decrease. Always count the turns out from the screwed fully in position. Note: The motorcycle is delivered from the factory with the rebound set at position 2.
Compression Damping Adjustment
The compression damping adjuster is located at the top of the right hand fork only. To change the compression damping force rotate the slotted adjuster clockwise to increase, or anti-clockwise to decrease. Always count the number of turns out from the fully screwed in position. Note: The motorcycle is delivered from the factory with the compression damping set at position 2.
1. Spring pre-load adjuster 2. Rebound/compression damping adjuster (see notes)
Spring Pre-Load Adjustment
The spring pre-load adjusters are located at the top of each fork. To change the spring pre-load, rotate the adjuster clockwise to increase pre-load, or anti-clockwise to decrease pre-load. Always set the pre-load adjusters such that there are an equal number of graduation lines visible on both forks. Note: The motorcycle is delivered from the factory with the spring pre-load set at position 3.
Rear Suspension Adjustment
The rear suspension unit is adjustable for both rebound and compression damping.
Note: The left hand fork is fitted with a rebound damping force adjuster. The right hand fork has a compression damping force adjuster.
Rebound Damping Adjustment Compression Damping Adjustment
1. Rebound damping adjuster The rebound damping adjuster is located at the bottom of the rear suspension unit on the left hand side of the motorcycle. To adjust the rebound damping setting, rotate the adjuster clockwise to increase rebound damping and anti-clockwise to decrease. Note: The motorcycle is delivered from the factory with the rebound adjuster set at position 2.
1. Compression damping adjuster The compression damping adjuster is situated on the rear suspension unit reservoir. To adjust the compression damping setting, rotate the slotted adjuster clockwise to increase, or anti-clockwise to decrease. Note: The motorcycle is delivered from the factory with the compression damping set at position 2.

The rear suspension unit spring pre-load is not rider adjustable. Any attempt to adjust the spring pre-load could result in a dangerous riding condition leading to loss of control and an accident.

Tyre Inflation Pressures

Correct inflation pressure will provide maximum stability, rider comfort and tyre life. Always check tyre pressures before riding when the tyres are cold. Check tyre pressures daily and adjust if necessary. See the Specification section for details of the correct inflation pressures.

Typical Tyre Marking

This motorcycle is equipped with tubeless tyres, valves and wheel rims. Use only tyres marked 'TUBELESS' and tubeless valves on rims marked 'SUITABLE FOR TUBELESS TYRES'.

Wheel Marking

Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and instability problems that may lead to loss of control and an accident. Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or coming off the rim. Over-inflation will cause instability and accelerated tread wear. Both conditions are dangerous as they may cause loss of control leading to an accident.

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. It is therefore not recommended to use tyres until they are worn to their minimum.
Minimum Recommended Tread Depth
In accordance with the periodic maintenance chart, measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tyre that has worn to, or beyond the minimum allowable tread depth specified in the table below: Under 130 km/h (80 mph) Over 130 km/h (80 mph) 2 mm (0.08 in) Rear 3 mm (0.12 in) Front 2 mm (0.08 in)
Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction, stability and handling which may lead to loss of control and an accident. When tubeless tyres become punctured, leakage is often very slow. Always inspect tyres very closely for punctures. Check the tyres for cuts, embedded nails or other sharp objects. Operation with punctured or damaged tyres will adversely affect motorcycle stability and handling which may lead to loss of control or an accident. Check the rims for dents or deformation. Operation with damaged or defective wheels or tyres is dangerous and loss of motorcycle control or an accident could result. Always consult your authorised Triumph dealer for tyre replacement, or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

Battery Warning

Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, or when not accustomed to its handling characteristics may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Under some circumstances, the battery can give off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space. The battery contains sulphuric acid (battery acid). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield. If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with water immediately. If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Tyres that have been used on a rolling road dynamometer may become damaged. In some cases, the damage may not be visible on the external surface of the tyre. Tyres must be replaced after such use as continued use of a damaged tyre may lead to instability, loss of control and an accident.
Accurate wheel balance is necessary for safe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Do not remove or change any wheel balance weights. Incorrect wheel balance may cause instability leading to loss of control and an accident. When wheel balancing is required, such as after tyre replacement, see your authorised Triumph dealer. Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-on weights may damage the wheel and tyre resulting in tyre deflation, loss of control and an accident.
The battery contains harmful materials. Always keep children away from the battery whether or not it is fitted in the motorcycle. Do not attach jump leads to the battery, touch the battery cables together or reverse the polarity of the cables as any of these actions may cause a spark which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.
Battery Removal Battery Disposal
Should the battery ever require replacement, the original battery must be handed to a recycling agent who will ensure that the dangerous substances from which the battery is manufactured do not pollute the environment.

Battery Maintenance

Clean the battery using a clean, dry cloth. Be sure that the cable connections are clean.
The battery acid is corrosive and poisonous and will cause damage to unprotected skin. Never swallow battery acid or allow it to come into contact with the skin. To prevent injury, always wear eye and skin protection when handling the battery. The battery is a sealed type and does not require any maintenance other than checking the Voltage and routine recharging when required, such as during storage. It is not possible to adjust the battery acid level in the battery; the sealing strip must not be removed.

1. Headlight bulb 2. Bulb clip 3. Position lamp bulb
The bulbs become hot during use. Always allow sufficient time for the bulbs to cool before handling. Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb. If the glass is touched or gets dirty, clean with alcohol before re-use. Remove the seat. Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead first. Undo the fixing securing the headlight clamp to the headlight body. Support the headlight while removing the clamp. Remove the headlight from its bowl while supporting it to prevent the cables from being over-extended.
Disconnect the multi-pin electrical connector from the bulb to be replaced and remove the rubber cover. Detach the wire retainer from its clip (do not remove the screw) then remove the bulb from the light unit. Remove the bulb from the headlight unit. To remove the position lamp bulb: Without pulling the wires, ease the bulb holder from its socket. The bulb is removed from its holder by pulling gently upwards.

Do not pull the rear mudguard more than is necessary to access the licence plate light's inside fixing nut. Damage to the rear mudguard will result from bending the mudguard too far. Remove the inner rear mudguard fixing. Gently pull the mudguard upwards to allow access to the licence plate light retaining nut.
1. Licence plate light 2. Bulb holder Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following: Tighten the licence plate lamp fixing to 3 Nm. Tighten the lower rear mudguard fixings to 6 Nm. Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first.

1. Inner rear mudguard fixing Counter-hold the nut to prevent it from turning and remove the licence plate light fixing screw. Collect the nut from the mudguard. Detach the licence plate light from the rear mudguard. It is not necessary to disconnect the licence plate light electrical connectors.

Cleaning

Frequent, regular cleaning is an essential part of the maintenance of your motorcycle. If regularly cleaned, the appearance will be preserved for many years. Cleaning with cold water containing an automotive cleaner is essential at all times but particularly so after exposure to sea breezes, sea water, dusty or muddy roads and in winter when roads are treated for ice and snow. Do not use household detergent, as the use of such products will lead to premature corrosion. Although, under the terms of your motorcycle warranty, cover is provided against the corrosion of certain items, the owner is expected to observe this reasonable advice which will safeguard against corrosion and enhance the appearance of the motorcycle. polished surfaces, if the same sponge or cleaning cloths are used.

Where to be Careful

Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places: Instruments; Brake cylinders and brake calipers; Under the fuel tank; Headstock bearings; Air intake ducts.
Do not spray any water at all under the fuel tank. Any water sprayed around the air intake ducts (located under the front of the fuel tank) could enter the airbox and engine, causing damage to both items.

Preparation for Washing

Before washing, precautions must be taken to keep water off the following places: Rear opening of the mufflers: Cover with a plastic bag secured with rubber bands. Clutch and brake levers, switch housings on the handlebar: Cover with plastic bags. Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover the keyhole with tape. Remove any items of jewellery such as rings, watches, zips or belt buckles, which may scratch or otherwise damage painted or polished surfaces. Use separate cleaning sponges or cleaning cloths for washing painted/polished surfaces and chassis areas. Chassis areas (such as wheels and under mudguards) will be exposed to more abrasive road grime and dust, which may then scratch painted or
Use of high-pressure spray washers is not recommended. When using pressure washers, water may be forced into bearings and other components causing premature wear from corrosion and loss of lubrication. Note: Use of soaps that are highly alkaline will leave a residue on painted surfaces, and may also cause water spotting. Always use a low alkaline soap to aid the cleaning process.

After Washing

Remove the plastic bags and tape, and clear the air intakes. Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts. Test the brakes before motorcycle operation. Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes. Ensure adequate ventilation for the exhaust fumes. Use a dry cloth to absorb water residue. Do not allow water to stand on the machine as this will lead to corrosion.
