General Information
Warning
The daily check of tyre pressures must
not be excluded because of the fitment
of the TPMS. Check the tyre pressure
when the tyres are cold and using an
accurate tyre pressure gauge (see
page 167).
Use of the TPMS system to set
inflation pressures may lead to
incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Function
Tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the
front and rear wheels. These sensors
measure the air pressure inside the tyre
and transmit pressure data to the
instruments. These sensors will not
transmit the data until the motorcycle is
travelling at a speed greater than
12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will be
visible in the display area until the tyre
pressure signal is received.
An adhesive label will be fitted to the
wheel rim to indicate the position of the
tyre pressure sensor, which is near the
valve.

When braking, observe the following:
Close the throttle completely, leaving
the clutch engaged to allow the engine
to help slow down the motorcycle.

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.

Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate

Miscellaneous
Fuel Visually check that all fixings are tight.
Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high speed operation.
Caution
In many countries, the exhaust system
for this model 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 make sure you have adequate
fuel for your journey.
Engine Oil
Check that the engine oil level is correct.
Make sure that the correct grade and
type of oil is used when topping up.
Drive Chain
Make sure that the drive chain is
correctly adjusted and lubricated.
Inspect the chain for wear and damage.

Warning
Use the recommended tyres ONLY in the combinations given. Do not mix tyres from
different manufacturers or mix different specification tyres from the same
manufacturers as this may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Tyre pressures which have been reduced for off-road riding will impair on-road
stability. Always make sure that the tyre pressures are set as described in the tyre
pressure charts for on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect tyre pressures may cause loss of
motorcycle control leading to an accident.
Warning
The use of dual purpose tyres will result in reduced motorcycle stability. Always
operate a motorcycle equipped with dual purpose tyres at reduced speeds. The
permissible maximum speed must be indicated by a sticker, positioned so that it is
clearly visible to the rider. Operation of the motorcycle above the permissible
maximum speed may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
