Fuel Requirement/Refuelling
Fuel GradeYourTriumphengine isdesignedto use
unleaded fuel and will give optimumperformance if the correct grade offuel is used. Always use unleadedfuel with an octane rating of 95 RON.
CautionIn all countries, except Australia,Hong Kong, New Zealand, andSouth Africa the exhaust systemis fitted with catalytic converters tohelp reduce exhaust emissionlevels. The catalytic converters canbe permanently damaged if themotorcycle is allowed to run out offuel or if the fuel level is allowed toget very low. Always ensure youhave adequate fuel for yourjourney.
CautionThe use of leaded fuel is illegal inmost countries, states orterritories. Use of leaded fuel willdamage the catalytic converter (iffitted).
WarningTo help reduce hazards associatedwith refuelling, always observe thefollowing fuel safety instructions:Petrol (fuel) is highly flammableand can be explosive under certainconditions. When refuelling, turnthe ignition switch to the `OFF'position.Do not smoke.Make sure the refuelling area iswell ventilated and free from anysource of flame or sparks. Thisincludes any appliance with a pilotlight.Never fill the tank until the fuellevel rises into the filler neck. Heatfrom sunlight or other sources maycause the fuel to expand andoverflow creating a fire hazard.After refuelling always check thatthe fuel filler cap is correctlyclosed and locked.Because petrol (fuel) is highlyflammable, any fuel leak orspillage, or any failure to observethe safety advice given above willlead to a fire hazard, which couldcause damage to property, injuryto persons or death.

Stand
Side Stand
1 Side standThe motorcycle is equipped with aside stand on which the motorcyclecan be parked.
NOTE• When using the side stand,
always turn the handlebars fullyto the left and leave themotorcycle in first gear.
WarningOverfilling the tank can lead to fuelspillage.If fuel is spilled, thoroughly cleanup the spillage immediately anddispose of the materials usedsafely.Take care not to spill any fuel onthe engine, exhaust pipes, tyres orany other part of the motorcycle. Because fuel is highly flammable,any fuel leak or spillage, or anyfailure to observe the safety advicegiven above may lead to a firehazard, which could cause damageto property and injury or death topersons.Fuel spilled near to, or onto thetyres will reduce the tyre's abilityto grip the road. This will give riseto a dangerous riding conditionpotentially causing loss ofmotorcycle control and anaccident.
WarningThe motorcycle is fitted with aninterlock system to prevent it frombeing ridden with the side stand inthe down position. Never attempt to ride with the sidestand down or interfere with theinterlock mechanism as this willcause a dangerous riding conditionleading to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

WarningFor your safety, always exerciseextreme caution when braking,accelerating or turning as anyincautious action can cause loss ofcontrol and an accident.Independent use of the front orrear brakes reduces overallbraking performance. Extremebraking may cause either wheel tolock, reducing control of themotorcycle and causing anaccident.When possible, reduce speed orbrake before entering a turn asclosing the throttle or braking inmid-turn may cause wheel slipleading to loss of control and anaccident.When riding in wet or rainyconditions, or on loose surfaces,the ability to manoeuvre and stopwill be reduced. All of your actionsshould be smooth under theseconditions. Sudden acceleration,braking or turning may cause lossof control and an accident.
WarningWhen descending a long steepgradient, use engine braking bydown changing and use the brakesintermittently. Continuous brakeapplication can overheat thebrakes and reduce theireffectiveness.Riding with your foot on the brakepedal or your hands on the brakelever may actuate the brake light,giving a false indication to otherroad users. It may also overheatthe brake, reducing brakingeffectiveness.Do not coast with the engineswitched off, and do not tow themotorcycle. The transmission ispressure-lubricated only when theengine is running. Inadequatelubrication may cause damage orseizure of the transmission, whichcan lead to sudden loss ofmotorcycle control and anaccident.

Cooling SystemTo ensure efficientengine cooling,check the coolantlevel each daybefore riding the
motorcycle, and top up the coolant ifthe level is low.
Corrosion InhibitorsTo protect the cooling system fromcorrosion, the use of corrosioninhibitor chemicals in the coolant isessential.If coolant containing a corrosioninhibitor is not used, the coolingsystem will accumulate rust andscale in the water jacket and
radiator. This will block the coolantpassages, and considerably reducethe efficiency of the cooling system.
Coolant Level Inspection

Tyre WearAs the tyre tread wears down, thetyre becomes more susceptible topunctures and failure. It is estimatedthat 90% of all tyre problems occurduring the last 10% of tread life(90% worn). It is, therefore, falseeconomy and unsafe to use tyres
until they are worn to theirminimum.
Minimum RecommendedTread DepthIn accordance with the periodicmaintenance chart, measure thedepth of the tread with a depthgauge, and replace any tyre that hasworn to, or beyond the minimumallowable tread depth specified inthe table below:
WarningIncorrect tyre inflation will causeabnormal tread wear andinstability problems that may leadto loss of control and an accident.Under-inflation may result in thetyre slipping on, or coming off therim. Over-inflation will causeinstability and accelerated treadwear.Both conditions are dangerous asthey may cause loss of controlleading to an accident.

Tyre ReplacementAll Triumph motorcycles are carefullyand extensively tested in a range ofriding conditions to ensure that themost effective tyre combinations areapproved for use on each model. Itis essential that approved tyres,fitted in approved combinations, areused when purchasing replacementtyres. The use of non-approvedtyres, or approved tyres in non-approved combinations, may lead tomotorcycle instability and anaccident. See the specificationsection for details of approved tyrecombinations. Always have tyresfitted and balanced by yourauthorised Triumph dealer who hasthe necessary training and skills toensure safe, effective fitment.
WarningOnly operate this Triumphmotorcycle at high speed in closedcourse on-road competition or onclosed course race tracks. Highspeed operation should only thenbe attempted by riders who havebeen instructed in the techniquesnecessary for high speed ridingand are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions. High speed operation inany other circumstances isdangerous and will lead to loss ofmotorcycle control and anaccident.
WarningOperation with excessively worntyres is hazardous and willadversely affect traction, stabilityand handling which may lead toloss of control and an accident.When tubeless tyres becomepunctured, leakage is often veryslow. Always inspect tyres veryclosely for punctures. Check thetyres for cuts, embedded nails orother sharp objects. Operationwith punctured or damaged tyreswill adversely affect motorcyclestability and handling which maylead to loss of control or anaccident./continued
Warning/continuedCheck the rims for dents ordeformation. Operation withdamaged or defective wheels ortyres is dangerous and loss ofmotorcycle control or an accidentcould result.Always consult your authorisedTriumph dealer for tyrereplacement, or for a safetyinspection of the tyres.

Maintenance and Adjustment
WarningIf a tyre sustains a puncture, thetyre must be replaced. Failure toreplace a punctured tyre, oroperation with a repaired tyre canlead to instability, loss of control oran accident.
WarningDo not install tube-type tyres ontubeless rims. The bead will notseat and the tyres could slip on therims, causing rapid tyre deflationthat may result in a loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident. Neverinstall an inner tube inside atubeless tyre. This will causefriction inside the tyre and theresulting heat build-up may causethe tube to burst resulting in rapidtyre deflation, loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident.
WarningIf tyre damage is suspected, suchas after striking the kerb, ask yourauthorised Triumph dealer toinspect the tyre both internally andexternally. Remember, tyredamage may not always be visiblefrom the outside. Operation of themotorcycle with damaged tyrescould lead to loss of control and anaccident.
WarningWhen replacement tyres arerequired, consult your authorisedTriumph dealer who will arrangefor the tyres to be selected, in acorrect combination, from theapproved list and fitted accordingto the tyre manufacturer'sinstructions.When tyres are replaced, allowtime for the tyres to seat to therim (approximately 24 hours).During this seating period, ridecautiously as an incorrectly seatedtyre could cause loss of control oran accident.Initially, the new tyres will notproduce the same handlingcharacteristics as the worn tyresand the rider must allow adequateriding distance (approximately 100miles) to become accustomed tothe new handling characteristics.24 hours after fitting, the tyrepressures must be checked andadjusted, and the tyres examinedfor correct seating. Rectificationmust be carried out as necessary.The same checks and adjustmentsmust also be carried out when 100miles have been travelled afterfitting.

CleaningFrequent, regular cleaning is anessential part of the maintenance ofyour motorcycle. If regularlycleaned, the appearance will bepreserved for many years. Cleaningwith warm water containing anautomotive cleaner is essential at alltimes but particularly so afterexposure to sea breezes, sea water,dusty or muddy roads and in winterwhen roads are treated for ice andsnow.
Although, under the terms of yourmotorcycle warranty, cover isprovided against the corrosion ofcertain items, the owner is expectedto observe this reasonable advicewhich will safeguard againstcorrosion and enhance theappearance of the motorcycle. Donot use household detergent, as theuse of such products will lead topremature corrosion.
Preparation for WashingBefore washing, precautions must betaken to keep water off the followingplaces.Rear opening of the mufflers: Coverwith a plastic bag secured withrubber bands.Clutch and brake levers, switchhousings on the handlebar: Coverwith plastic bags.Ignition switch: Cover the keyholewith tape.
Where to be CarefulAvoid spraying water with any greatforce near the following places:• Instruments.• Brake cylinders and brake
callipers.• Under the fuel tank.• Headstock bearings.
NOTE• Use of soaps that contain
high levels of alkaline willleave a residue on paintedsurfaces, and may alsocause water spotting.Always used a low alkalinesoap to aid the cleaningprocess.
WarningDo not spray any water at allunder the rider's seat. The rider’sseat has the engine’s air intakeducts fitted to its base and anywater sprayed in this area couldenter the airbox and engine,causing damage to both items.
CautionUse of high-pressure spraywashers is not recommended.When using pressure washers,water may be forced into bearingsand other components causingpremature wear from corrosionand loss of lubrication.

Maintenance and Adjustment
After WashingRemove the plastic bags and tape,and clear the air intakes.Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.Test the brakes before motorcycleoperation.Start the engine and run it for 5minutes. Ensure adequateventilation for the exhaust fumes.Use a dry cloth to absorb waterresidue. Do not allow water to standon the machine as this will lead tocorrosion.
Unpainted Aluminium ItemsItems such as brake and clutchlevers must be correctly cleaned topreserve their appearance.Use a proprietary brand ofaluminium cleaner which does notcontain abrasive or caustic elements.Clean aluminium items regularly, inparticular after use in inclementweather, where the componentsmust be hand washed and driedeach time the machine is used.Warranty claims due to inadequatemaintenance will not be allowed.
Cleaning of the ExhaustSystem
All parts of the exhaust system ofyour motorcycle must be cleanedregularly to avoid a deterioration ofits appearance. These instructionscan be applied to chrome, brushedstainless steel and carbon fibrecomponents alike.
NOTE• The exhaust system must
be cool before washing toprevent water spotting.
WashingPrepare a mixture of water and mildsoap. Do not use a high alkalinecontent soap as commonly found atcommercial car washes because itleaves a residue.Wash the exhaust system with a softcloth. Do not use an abrasivescouring pad or steel wool. They willdamage the finish.Rinse the exhaust systemthoroughly.Ensure no soap or water enters themufflers.
WarningNever wax or lubricate the brakediscs. Loss of braking power andan accident could result. Clean thedisc with a proprietary brand of oilfree brake disc cleaner.

Drying
Dry the exhaust system as far aspossible with a soft cloth. Do not runthe engine to dry the system orspotting will occur.
ProtectingWhen the exhaust system is dry, rub'Motorex 645 Clean And Protect' intothe surface.
It is recommended that regularprotection be applied to the systemas this will both protect and enhancethe system's appearance.
CautionThe use of silicone products suchas WD40 will cause discolourationof the chrome and must not beused. Similarly, the use of abrasivecleaners such as Solvol Autosol willdamage the system and must notbe used.

STORAGE
Preparation for StorageClean the entire vehicle thoroughly.Empty the fuel from the fuel tankinto a secure container.
Reduce the tyre pressures by about20%.
Set the motorcycle on a box or standso that both wheels are raised offthe ground. (If this cannot be done,put boards under the front and rearwheels to keep dampness away fromthe tyres).Spray oil on all unpainted metalsurfaces to prevent rusting. Preventoil from getting on rubber parts,brake discs or in the brake callipers.Lubricate the control cables.Remove the battery, and store itwhere it will not be exposed to directsunlight, moisture, or freezingtemperatures. During storage itshould be given a slow charge (oneampere or less) about once a month.Keep the battery well charged during
cold weather so that the electrolytedoes not freeze and crack thebattery. The more discharged thebattery becomes, the more easily itfreezes.Tie plastic bags over the exhaustpipes to prevent moisture fromentering.Put a cover over the motorcycle tokeep dust and dirt from collecting onit.
WarningPetrol is extremely flammable andcan be explosive under certainconditions. Turn the ignition switchOFF. Do not smoke. Make sure thearea is well ventilated and freefrom any source of flame orsparks; this includes any appliancewith a pilot light.
