FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle Warning
This motorcycle is designed for onroad use only. It is not suitable for off-road use. Off-road operation could lead to loss of control of the motorcycle resulting in an accident causing injury or loss of life.
Fuel and Exhaust Fumes Warning

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
Always turn off the engine when refuelling. Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap while smoking or in the vicinity of any open (naked) flame. Take care not to spill any petrol on the engine, exhaust pipes or silencers when refuelling. If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or allowed to get into the eyes, seek immediate medical attention. Spillage on the skin should be immediately washed off with soap and water and clothing contaminated with petrol should immediately be removed. Burns and other serious skin conditions may result from contact with petrol.
Warning
This motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar. Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of control and an accident.
Warning
This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his/her own, or a rider and one passenger (subject to a passenger seat being fitted). The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of 185 kg.
Warning
Never start your engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation. 5
Foreword - Safety First Safety Helmet Clothing Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider and passenger must always wear a motorcycle safety helmet, eye protection, gloves, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket. Brightly coloured clothing will considerably increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility to other operators of road vehicles. Although full protection is not possible, wearing correct protective clothing can reduce the risk of injury when riding.
and Warning
/continued Always wear a visor or approved goggles to help vision and to protect your eyes.
Parking Warning
Always turn off the engine and remove the ignition key before leaving the motorcycle unattended. By removing the key, the risk of use of the motorcycle by unauthorised or untrained persons is reduced. When parking the motorcycle, always remember the following: Engage first gear to help prevent the motorcycle from rolling off the stand. The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding. DO NOT park where pedestrians, animals and/or children are likely to touch the motorcycle. Do not park on soft ground or on a steeply inclined surface. Parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over. For further details, please refer to the 'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section of this owner's handbook.
Warning
A safety helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear as it offers protection against head injuries. You and your passenger's helmet should be carefully chosen and should fit you or your passenger's head comfortably and securely. A brightly coloured helmet will increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility to other operators of road vehicles. An open face helmet offers some protection in an accident though a full face helmet will offer more. /continued
Foreword - Safety First Parts and Accessories Warning

Owners should be aware that the only approved parts, accessories and conversions for any Triumph motorcycle are those which carry official Triumph approval and are fitted to the motorcycle by an authorised dealer. Triumph does not accept any liability whatsoever for defects caused by the fitting of nonapproved parts, accessories or conversions or the fitting of any approved parts, accessories or conversions by non-approved personnel. In particular, it is extremely hazardous to fit or replace parts or accessories whose fitting requires the dismantling of, or addition to, either the electrical or fuel systems and any such modification could cause a safety hazard. The fitting of any non-approved parts, accessories or conversions may adversely affect the handling, stability or other aspect of the motorcycle operation that may result in an accident causing injury or death.
Maintenance/ Equipment Warning

Consult your authorised Triumph dealer whenever there is doubt as to the correct or safe operation of this Triumph motorcycle. Remember that continued operation of an incorrectly performing motorcycle may aggravate a fault and may also prejudice safety.
Warning
Ensure all equipment that is required by law is installed and functioning correctly. The removal or alteration of the motorcycle's lights, silencers, emission or noise control systems can violate the law. Incorrect or improper modification may adversely affect the handling, stability or other aspect of the motorcycle operation, which may result in an accident causing injury or death.
Foreword - Safety First
Warning
If the motorcycle is involved in an accident, collision or fall, it must be taken to an authorised Triumph dealer for inspection and repair. Any accident can cause damage to the motorcycle that, if not correctly repaired, may cause a second accident that may result in injury or death.
Warning
Always ride defensively and wear the protective equipment mentioned elsewhere in this foreword. Remember, in an accident, a motorcycle does not give the same impact protection as a car.
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road travelled. Operating a motorcycle at high speeds can be potentially dangerous since the time available to react to given traffic situations is greatly reduced as road speed increases. Always reduce speed in potentially hazardous driving conditions such as bad weather or heavy traffic.
Riding Warning
Never ride the motorcycle when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Riding when under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is illegal. Riding when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs reduces the rider's ability to maintain control of motorcycle and may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Warning
All riders must be licensed to operate the motorcycle. Operation of the motorcycle without a licence is illegal and could lead to prosecution. In addition, operation without a licence is dangerous and may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. 8
Foreword - Safety First Handlebars Footrests Warning

The rider must maintain control of the vehicle by keeping hands on the handlebars at all times. The handling and stability of a motorcycle will be adversely affected if the rider removes his hands from the handlebars, resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
and
Warning
Continually observe and react to changes in road surface, traffic and wind conditions. All twowheeled vehicles are subject to external forces which may cause an accident. These forces include but are not limited to: Wind draft from passing vehicles. Uneven or holed road surfaces. Bad weather. Rider error. Always operate the motorcycle at moderate speed and away from heavy traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its handling and operating characteristics. Never exceed the legal speed limit.
Warning
The rider and passenger must always use the footrests provided, during operation of the vehicle. By using the footrests, both rider and passenger will reduce the risk of inadvertent contact with any motorcycle components and will also reduce the risk of injury from entrapment of clothing.

Lever Adjuster wheel Triangular mark
Warning
With the key in the 'LOCK' or 'P' position the steering will become locked. Never turn the key to the 'Lock' or 'P' positions while the motorcycle is moving as this will cause the steering to lock. Locked steering will cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
An adjuster is fitted to the front brake lever on the Daytona and to both the front brake and clutch levers on the Speed Triple. The adjusters allow the distance from the handlebar to the levers to be changed to one of four positions, to suit the span of the operator's hands. To adjust the levers, push each lever forward and turn the adjuster wheel to align one of the numbered positions with the triangular mark on the lever holder. The distance from the handlebar grip to the released lever is shortest when set to number four and longest when set to number one.

General Information
Engine Stop Switch
Warning
Do not attempt to adjust the levers with the motorcycle in motion as this may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. After adjusting the levers, operate the motorcycle in an area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the new lever setting. Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as they may change the lever setting from the one you are familiar with causing loss of control or an accident.
In addition to the ignition switch being turned to the 'ON' position, the engine stop switch must be in the 'run' position for the motorcycle to operate. The engine stop switch is for emergency use. If an emergency arises which requires the engine to be stopped, move the engine stop switch to the stop position. NOTE Although the engine stop switch stops the engine, it does not turn off all the electrical circuits and may cause difficulty in restarting the engine due to a discharged battery. Ordinarily, only the ignition switch should be used to stop the engine.

General Information Fuel Requirement/ Refuelling

Fuel Grade
Your Triumph engine is designed to use unleaded fuel and will give optimum performance if the correct grade of fuel is used. Always use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON.
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated with refuelling, always observe the following fuel safety instructions: Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. When refuelling, turn the ignition switch to the `OFF' position. Do not smoke. Make sure the refuelling area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks. This includes any appliance with a pilot light. Never fill the tank until the fuel level rises into the filler neck. Heat from sunlight or other sources may cause the fuel to expand and overflow creating a fire hazard. After refuelling always check that the fuel filler cap is correctly closed and locked. Because petrol (fuel) is highly flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to observe the safety advice given above will lead to a fire hazard, which could cause damage to property, injury to persons or death.
Caution
In all countries, except Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and South Africa the exhaust system is fitted with catalytic converters to help reduce exhaust emission levels. The catalytic converters 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 ensure you have adequate fuel for your journey.
Caution
The use of leaded fuel is illegal in most countries, states or territories. Use of leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter (if fitted).
37
General Information Fuel Tank Cap Filling the Fuel Tank

Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty conditions where airborne material can contaminate the fuel.
1 2
Caution
Contaminated fuel may cause damage to fuel system components. Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level above the bottom of the filler neck. This will ensure there is enough air space to allow for fuel expansion if the fuel inside the tank expands through absorption of heat from the engine or from direct sunlight.

General Information Stand Warning

Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel spillage. If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up the spillage immediately and dispose of the materials used safely. Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine, exhaust pipes, tyres or any other part of the motorcycle. Because fuel is highly flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to observe the safety advice given above may lead to a fire hazard, which could cause damage to property and injury or death to persons. Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tyres will reduce the tyre's ability to grip the road. This will give rise to a dangerous riding condition potentially causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Side Stand
1
ccpp
Side stand
The motorcycle is equipped with a side stand on which the motorcycle can be parked.
Warning
The motorcycle is fitted with an interlock system to prevent it from being ridden with the side stand in the down position. Never attempt to ride with the side stand down or interfere with the interlock mechanism as this will cause a dangerous riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. NOTE When using the side stand, always turn the handlebars fully to the left and leave the motorcycle in first gear. 39
General Information
Whenever the side stand is used before riding, always ensure that the stand is fully up after first sitting on the motorcycle. For instructions on safe parking, refer to the `How to Ride the Motorcycle' section. complete removal motorcycle. from the
To refit the seat, engage the seat's tongue under the fuel tank and press down at the rear to engage in the seat lock.
Tool Kit and Handbook

The tool kit is located in a dedicated box beneath the seat(s).
Warning
To prevent detachment of the seat during riding, after fitting always grasp the seat and pull firmly upwards. If the seat is not correctly secured in the lock it will detach from the lock. A loose or detached seat could cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Seat Lock
Running-In
Running-in is the name given to the process that occurs during the first hours of a new vehicle's operation.

Seat lock
The seat lock is located on the left hand side of the battery tray, in line with the footrest mounting rail. To remove the seat, insert the ignition key into the seat lock and turn it anti-clockwise while pressing down on the rear of the seat. This will release the seat from its lock and allow it to be slid rearwards for
In particular, internal friction in the engine will be higher when components are new. Later on, when continued operation of the engine has ensured that the components have 'bedded in', this internal friction will be greatly reduced. A period of careful running in will ensure lower exhaust emissions, and will optimise performance, fuel economy and longevity of the engine and other motorcycle components.
40
General Information
During the first 500 miles (800 kilometres): Do not use full throttle. Avoid high engine speeds at all times. Avoid riding at one constant engine speed, whether fast or slow, for a long period of time. Avoid aggressive starts, stops, and rapid accelerations, except in an emergency. Do not ride at speeds greater than 3/4 of maximum speed. From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to 1500 kilometres): Engine speed can gradually be increased to the rev limit for short periods. Both during and after running in has been completed:Do not over-rev the engine when cold. Do not let the engine labour. Always downshift before the engine begins to 'struggle'. Do not ride with engine speeds unnecessarily high. Changing up a gear helps reduce fuel consumption, reduces noise and helps to protect the environment.
Safe Operation
Daily Safety Checks
Check the following items each day before you ride. The time required is minimal, and these checks will help ensure a safe, reliable ride. If any irregularities are found during these checks, refer to the Maintenance and Adjustment section or see your authorised Triumph dealer for the action required to return the motorcycle to a safe operating condition.
Warning
Failure to perform these checks every day before you ride may result in serious motorcycle damage or an accident causing serious injury or death. Check: Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel leaks (page 37). Engine oil: Correct level on dipstick. Add correct specification oil as required. No leaks from the engine or oil cooler (page 62). Drive chain: Correct adjustment (page 71).
41
General Information
Tyres/Wheels: Correct inflation pressures (when cold). Tread depth/ wear, tyre/wheel damage, punctures etc. (page 86). Nuts, bolts, fasteners: Visually check that steering and suspension components, axles, and all controls are properly tightened or fastened. Inspect all areas for loose/damaged fixings. Steering Action: smooth but not loose from lock to lock. No binding of any of the control cables (page 79). Brakes: Pull the brake lever and push the brake pedal to check for correct resistance. Investigate any lever/pedal where the travel is excessive before meeting resistance, or if either control feels spongy in operation (page 75). Brake pads: There should be more than 1.5 mm of friction material remaining on all the pads (page 75). Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid leakage. Brake fluid levels must be between the 'max' and 'min' marks on both reservoirs (page 77). Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks from fork seals (page 81). Throttle: Throttle grip free-play 2-3 mm. Ensure that the throttle grip returns to the idle position without sticking (page 67). Clutch: Smooth operation and correct cable free-play (page 70). Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the coolant level in the expansion tank (when the engine is cold) (page 65). 42 Electrical equipment: All lights and horn function correctly (page 33). Engine stop: Stop switch turns the engine off (page 44). Stands: Return to the fully up position by spring tension. Return springs not weak or damaged (page 39).

the needle to return to zero before starting the engine. In very cold conditions, part open the throttle to aid cold starting. Return it to the closed position once the engine has started.
Caution
The low oil pressure warning light should go out shortly after the engine starts. If the low oil pressure warning light stays on after starting the engine, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause. Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause severe engine damage. The motorcycle is equipped with starter lockout switches. The switches prevent the electric starter from operating when the transmission is not in neutral with the sidestand down. If the sidestand is extended whilst the engine is running, and the transmission is not in neutral then the engine will stop irrespective of clutch position.
Warning
Never start the engine or run the engine in a confined area. Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short period of time. Always operate your motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation.
Caution
Do not operate the starter continuously for more than 5 seconds as the starter motor will overheat and the battery will become discharged. Wait 15 seconds between each operation of the starter to allow for cooling and recovery of battery power. Do not let the engine idle for long periods as this may lead to overheating which will cause damage to the engine.
Moving Off
Pull in the clutch lever and select first gear. Open the throttle a little and let out the clutch lever slowly. As the clutch starts to engage, open the throttle a little more, allowing enough engine speed to avoid stalling.
45
How to Ride the Motorcycle Changing Gears Warning

Take care to avoid opening the throttle too far in any of the lower gears as this can lead to the front wheel lifting from the ground (pulling a 'wheelie') and to the rear tyre breaking traction (wheel spin). Always open the throttle cautiously, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the motorcycle, as a `wheelie' or loss of traction will cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident. NOTE The gear change mechanism is the 'positive stop' type. This means that, for each movement of the gear change pedal, you can only select each gear, one after the other, in ascending or descending order.
1
jako
Gear Change Pedal
Close the throttle while pulling in the clutch lever. Change into the next higher or lower gear. Open the throttle part way, while releasing the clutch lever. Always use the clutch when changing gear.
Warning
Do not change to a lower gear at speeds that will cause excessive engine rpm (r/min). This can lock the rear wheel causing loss of control and an accident. Engine damage may also be caused. Changing down should be done such that low engine speeds will be ensured.

ccqc
ccox
1 1 Front brake lever
Rear brake pedal
Warning Warning
WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Close the throttle completely, leaving the clutch engaged to allow the engine to help slow down the motorcycle. Change down one gear at a time such that the transmission is in first gear when the motorcycle comes to a complete stop. When stopping, always apply both brakes at the same time. Normally the front brake should be applied a little more than the rear. Change down or fully disengage the clutch as necessary to keep the engine from stalling. Never lock the brakes, as this may cause loss of control of the motorcycle and an accident. For emergency braking, disregard down changing, and concentrate on applying the front and rear brakes as hard as possible without skidding. Riders should practice emergency braking in a traffic-free area. Triumph strongly recommends that all riders take a course of instruction, which includes advice on safe brake operation. Incorrect brake technique could result in loss of control and an accident.
47
Warning
For your safety, always exercise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning as any incautious action can cause loss of control and an accident. Independent use of the front or rear brakes reduces overall braking performance. Extreme braking may cause either wheel to lock, reducing control of the motorcycle and causing an accident. When possible, reduce speed or brake before entering a turn as closing the throttle or braking in mid-turn may cause wheel slip leading to loss of control and an accident. When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, the ability to manoeuvre and stop will be reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of control and an accident.
Warning
When descending a long steep gradient, use engine braking by down changing and use the brakes intermittently. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness. Riding with your foot on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake lever may actuate the brake light, giving a false indication to other road users. It may also overheat the brake, reducing braking effectiveness. Do not coast with the engine switched off, and do not tow the motorcycle. The transmission is pressure-lubricated only when the engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may cause damage or seizure of the transmission, which can lead to sudden loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
48
How to Ride the Motorcycle Parking

lights are required by law, leave the tail, licence plate and position lights on by turning the ignition switch to P (Park). Do not leave the switch in the 'P' position for long periods-of-time as this will discharge the battery.
Warning
Do not park on a soft or on a steeply inclined surface as parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over. Ensure that the stand is fully retracted before riding off. Petrol is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. If parking inside a garage or other structure, be sure it is well ventilated and the motorcycle is not close to any source of flame or sparks. This includes any appliance with a pilot light. The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding. DO NOT park where pedestrians and children are likely to touch the motorcycle as touching any of the hot parts may cause unprotected skin to become burnt.
ccms
Select neutral and turn the ignition switch to the 'OFF' position. Lock the steering to help prevent theft. Always park on a firm, level surface to prevent the motorcycle from falling. When parking on a hill, always park facing uphill to prevent the motorcycle from rolling off the stand. Engage first gear to prevent the motorcycle from moving. On a lateral (sideways) incline, always park such that the incline naturally pushes the motorcycle towards the sidestand. Do not park on a lateral (sideways) incline of greater than 6 o and never park facing downhill. NOTE When parking near traffic at night, or when parking in a location where parking

How to Ride the Motorcycle Considerations for High Speed Operation Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road travelled. Operating a motorcycle at high speeds can be potentially dangerous since the time available to react to given traffic situations is greatly reduced as road speed increases. Always reduce speed in consideration of weather and traffic conditions.
Warning
The handling characteristics of a motorcycle at high speed may vary from those you are familiar with at legal road speeds. Do not attempt high-speed operation unless you have received sufficient training and have the required skills as a serious accident may result from incorrect operation.
Warning
The items listed are extremely important and must never be neglected. A problem, which may not be noticed at normal operating speeds, may be greatly exaggerated at high speeds.
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed course racetracks. High-speed operation should only then be attempted by riders who have been instructed in the techniques necessary for high speed riding and are familiar with the motorcycle's characteristics in all conditions. High-speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
General
Ensure the motorcycle has been maintained according to the scheduled maintenance chart.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns smoothly without excessive free play or tight spots. Ensure that the control cables do not restrict the steering in any way.
Luggage
Make certain that any luggage containers are closed, locked and securely fitted to the motorcycle.
50

Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are functioning properly.
Engine Oil
Make certain that the engine oil level is correct. Ensure that the correct grade and type of oil is used when topping-up.
Tyres
High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and tyres that are in good condition are crucial to riding safely. Examine their overall condition, inflate to the correct pressure (when the tyres are cold), and check the wheel balance. Securely fit the valve caps after checking tyre pressures. Observe the information given in the maintenance and specification sections on tyre checking and tyre safety.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the upper level line in the expansion tank. (Always check the level with the engine cold).
Electrical Equipment
Make certain that the headlight, rear/brake light, direction indicators, horn etc., all work properly.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fixings are tight.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuel consumption that will result from high-speed operation.
Caution
In all countries, except Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and South Africa the exhaust system is fitted with a catalytic converter to help reduce exhaust emission levels. 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 ensure you have adequate fuel for your journey.
51
Accessories and Loading
ACCESSORIES AND LOADING

The addition of accessories and carriage of additional weight can affect the motorcycle's handling characteristics causing changes in stability and necessitating a reduction in speed. The following information has been prepared as a guide to the potential hazards of adding accessories to a motorcycle and carrying passengers and additional loads.
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding condition leading to an accident. Always ensure any loads carried are evenly distributed on both sides of the motorcycle. Ensure that the load is correctly secured such that it will not move around while the motorcycle is in motion. Always check the load security regularly (though not while the motorcycle is in motion) and ensure that the load does not extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle. Never exceed the maximum vehicle loading weight of 185 kg. This maximum loading weight is made up from the combined weight of the rider, passenger, any accessories fitted and any load carried.
Warning
Do not install accessories or carry luggage that impairs the control of the motorcycle. Make sure that you have not adversely affected the visibility of any lighting component, road clearance, banking capability (i.e. lean angle), control operation, wheel travel, front fork movement, visibility in any direction, or any other aspect of the motorcycle's operation.
52
Warning
Never ride an accessory equipped motorcycle at speeds above the legal speed limit or at a speed inappropriate for the circumstances. Speeds in excess of 130 km/h (80 mph) should not be attempted on an accessory equipped motorcycle even where the legal speed limit permits this. The presence of accessories 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 130 km/h (80mph) absolute limit will be reduced by the fitting of nonapproved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed course racetracks. High-speed operation should only then be attempted by riders who have been instructed in the techniques necessary for high speed riding and are familiar with the motorcycle's characteristics in all conditions. High-speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated above the legal road speed limit except in authorised closed course conditions.
53
Warning
Your passenger should be thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle's operation. The passenger can cause loss of control of the motorcycle by incorrect positioning during cornering and sudden movements. It is important that the passenger sits still while the motorcycle is in motion and does not interfere with the operation of the motorcycle. If a passenger is carried, the rider should instruct the passenger 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. The passenger should also be advised 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.
Warning
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.
Warning
Never attempt to store any items between the frame and the fuel tank. This can restrict the steering and will cause loss of control leading to an accident. Weight attached to the handlebar or front fork will increase the mass of the steering assembly and can result in loss of steering control leading to an accident.
54
Warning
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.
Warning
If the passenger seat is used to carry small objects, they must not exceed 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 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.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil Filters

To protect the environment, do not pour oil on the ground, down sewers or drains, or into watercourses. Do not place used oil filters in with general waste. If in doubt contact your local authority.
Caution
Raising the engine speed above idle, before the oil reaches all parts of the engine can cause engine damage or seizure. Only raise engine speed after running the engine for a few seconds to allow the oil to circulate fully.
Oil Specification and Grade

Triumph high performance fuel injected engines are designed to use 10W/40 or 15W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil that meets specification API SH (or higher) AND JASO MA. Do not add any chemical additives to the engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates the clutch and any additives could cause the clutch to slip. Do not use mineral, vegetable, nondetergent oil, castor based oils or any oil not conforming to the required specification. The use of these oils may cause instant, severe engine damage.
Caution
If the engine oil pressure is too low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate. If this light stays on when the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause. Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause engine damage. Ensure that the low oil pressure warning light extinguishes shortly after starting. Turn off the ignition, check the oil level using the method previously described, and top up to between the minimum and maximum level lines on the dipstick.

Have the coolant changed by an authorised Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.
Warning
Do not remove the expansion tank or radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the expansion tank will be hot and also under pressure. Contact with this hot, pressurised coolant will cause scalds and skin damage. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the cap from the expansion tank, and add coolant mixture through the filler opening until the level reaches the `MAX' mark. Refit the cap. Refit the seat. NOTE If the coolant level is being checked because the coolant has overheated, also check the level in the radiator and top-up if necessary. In an emergency, water alone can be added to the cooling system. However, the coolant must be returned to the correct mixture ratio as soon as possible.
Radiator Hoses
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or deterioration, and hose clips for tightness in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Have your authorised Triumph dealer replace any defective items.
Caution
A year-round type of antifreeze is installed in the cooling system when the motorcycle leaves the factory. It is coloured blue, contains a 50% solution of ethylene glycol, and has a freezing point of -35C (-31F). Check the radiator grille and fins for obstructions by insects, leaves or mud. Clean off any obstructions with a stream of low-pressure water.
Warning
The fan operates automatically when the engine is running. Always keep hands and clothing away from the fan as contact with the rotating fan can cause injury.

Maintenance and Adjustment Drive Chain

For safety and to prevent excessive wear the drive chain must be checked, adjusted and lubricated in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Checking, adjustment and lubrication must be carried out more frequently for extreme conditions such as salty or heavily gritted roads. If the chain is badly worn or incorrectly adjusted (either too loose or too tight) the chain could jump off the sprockets or break. Therefore, always replace worn or damaged chains using genuine Triumph parts supplied by an authorised Triumph dealer.
Chain Lubrication
Lubrication is necessary every 500 miles and also after riding in wet weather, on wet roads, or any time that the chain appears dry. Use the special chain lubricant as recommended in the specification section. Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollers then allow the motorcycle stand unused for at least 8 hours (overnight is ideal). This will allow the oil to penetrate to the chain Orings etc. Before riding, wipe off any excess oil. If the chain is especially dirty, clean first and then apply oil as mentioned above.
Caution
Do not use a pressure wash to clean the chain as this may cause damage to the chain components.
Warning
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.

Brake pads must be inspected in accordance with scheduled 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), that is, if the pad has worn down to the bottom of the grooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.
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.
75
Warning
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.
Warning
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.
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.
76

Brake Fluid Level Inspection and Adjustment
Warning
If there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the fluid in either fluid reservoir, consult your authorised Triumph dealer for advice before riding.

Maintenance and Adjustment Windscreen Cleaning (Daytona only)

Always clean the windscreen with clean water and a soft cloth. Dry after cleaning with a soft, lint free cloth. Minor scratches can be removed using a commercial polishing compound suitable for plastic. The windscreen must be replaced if scratches cannot be completely removed.
Steering/Wheel Bearings Caution

To prevent risk of injury from the motorcycle falling during the inspection, ensure that the motorcycle is stabilised and secured on a suitable support. Do not exert extreme force against each wheel or rock each wheel vigorously as this may cause the motorcycle to become unstable and cause injury by falling from its support. Ensure that the position of the support block will not cause damage to the sump.
Warning
Never attempt to clean the windscreen while the motorcycle is in motion as releasing the handlebars may cause loss of vehicle control and an accident. Operation of the motorcycle with a damaged or scratched windscreen will reduce the rider's forward vision. Any such reduction in forward vision is dangerous and may lead to an accident causing injury or death.
Steering Inspection
Lubricate and inspect the condition of the headstock (steering) bearings in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. NOTE Always inspect the wheel bearings at the same time as the steering bearings.
Caution
Corrosive chemicals such as battery electrolyte will damage the windscreen. Never allow corrosive chemicals to contact the windscreen.

Warning
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.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated above the legal road speed limit except in authorised closed course conditions.
Tyre Wear
As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. It is estimated that 90% of all tyre problems occur during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn). It is, therefore, false economy and unsafe to use tyres
87
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed course on-road competition or on closed course race tracks. High speed operation should only then be attempted by riders who have been instructed in the techniques necessary for high speed riding and are familiar with the motorcycle's characteristics in all conditions. High speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
/continued 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.
Tyre Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and extensively tested in a range of riding conditions to ensure that the most effective tyre combinations are approved for use on each model. It is essential that approved tyres, fitted in approved combinations, are used when purchasing replacement tyres. The use of non-approved tyres, or approved tyres in nonapproved combinations, may lead to motorcycle instability and an accident. See the specification section for details of approved tyre combinations. Always have tyres fitted and balanced by your authorised Triumph dealer who has the necessary training and skills to ensure safe, effective fitment.
Warning
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. /continued
88
Warning
If a tyre sustains a puncture, the tyre must be replaced. Failure to replace a punctured tyre, or operation with a repaired tyre can lead to instability, loss of control or an accident.
Warning
When replacement tyres are required, consult your authorised Triumph dealer who will arrange for the tyres to be selected, in a correct combination, from the approved list and fitted according to the tyre manufacturer's instructions. When tyres are replaced, allow time for the tyres to seat to the rim (approximately 24 hours). During this seating period, ride cautiously as an incorrectly seated tyre could cause loss of control or an accident. Initially, the new tyres will not produce the same handling characteristics as the worn tyres and the rider must allow adequate riding distance (approximately 100 miles) to become accustomed to the new handling characteristics. 24 hours after fitting, the tyre pressures must be checked and adjusted, and the tyres examined for correct seating. Rectification must be carried out as necessary. The same checks and adjustments must also be carried out when 100 miles have been travelled after fitting.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tyres on tubeless rims. The bead will not seat and the tyres could slip on the rims, causing rapid tyre deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control and an accident. Never install an inner tube inside a tubeless tyre. This will cause friction inside the tyre and the resulting heat build-up may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Warning
If tyre damage is suspected, such as after striking the kerb, ask your authorised Triumph dealer to inspect the tyre both internally and externally. Remember, tyre damage may not always be visible from the outside. Operation of the motorcycle with damaged tyres could lead to loss of control and an accident.
89
Warning
Use of a incorrectly incorrectly pressures, accustomed characteristics control and an motorcycle with seated tyres, adjusted tyre or when not to its handling may lead to loss of accident.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.

Maintenance and Adjustment 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 warm 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. 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. Do not use household detergent, as the use of such products will lead to premature corrosion.
Where to be Careful
Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places: Instruments. Brake cylinders and callipers. Under the fuel tank. Headstock bearings. brake
Warning
Do not spray any water at all under the rider's seat. The riders seat has the engines air intake ducts fitted to its base and any water sprayed in this area could enter the airbox and engine, causing damage to both items.
Caution
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 contain high levels of alkaline will leave a residue on painted surfaces, and may also cause water spotting. Always used a low alkaline soap to aid the cleaning process.
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: Cover the keyhole with tape.
103

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.
Cleaning System
of
the
Exhaust
All parts of the exhaust system of your motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a deterioration of its appearance. These instructions can be applied to chrome, brushed stainless steel and carbon fibre components alike. NOTE The exhaust system must be cool before washing to prevent water spotting.
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs. Loss of braking power and an accident could result. Clean the disc with a proprietary brand of oil free brake disc cleaner.
Washing
Prepare a mixture of water and mild soap. Do not use a high alkaline content soap as commonly found at commercial car washes because it leaves a residue. Wash the exhaust system with a soft cloth. Do not use an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool. They will damage the finish. Rinse the thoroughly. exhaust system
Unpainted Aluminium Items

Items such as brake and clutch levers must be correctly cleaned to preserve their appearance. Use a proprietary brand of aluminium cleaner which does not contain abrasive or caustic elements. Clean aluminium items regularly, in particular after use in inclement weather, where the components must be hand washed and dried each time the machine is used. Warranty claims due to inadequate maintenance will not be allowed.
Ensure no soap or water enters the mufflers.
104

Drying
Dry the exhaust system as far as possible with a soft cloth. Do not run the engine to dry the system or spotting will occur.
Protecting
When the exhaust system is dry, rub 'Motorex 645 Clean And Protect' into the surface.
Caution
The use of silicone products such as WD40 will cause discolouration of the chrome and must not be used. Similarly, the use of abrasive cleaners such as Solvol Autosol will damage the system and must not be used. It is recommended that regular protection be applied to the system as this will both protect and enhance the system's appearance.

Preparation for Storage
Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly. Empty the fuel from the fuel tank into a secure container. cold weather so that the electrolyte does not freeze and crack the battery. The more discharged the battery becomes, the more easily it freezes. Tie plastic bags over the exhaust pipes to prevent moisture from entering. Put a cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from collecting on it.
Warning
Petrol is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Reduce the tyre pressures by about 20%. Set the motorcycle on a box or stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground. (If this cannot be done, put boards under the front and rear wheels to keep dampness away from the tyres). Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Prevent oil from getting on rubber parts, brake discs or in the brake callipers. Lubricate the control cables. Remove the battery, and store it where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or freezing temperatures. During storage it should be given a slow charge (one ampere or less) about once a month. Keep the battery well charged during
