MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
143
Caution
Do not cover the headlight or lens with
any item likely to obstruct air flow to,
or prevent heat escaping from, the
headlight lens.
Covering the headlight lens during
operation with items of clothing,
luggage, adhesive tape, devices
intended to alter or adjust the
headlight beam or non genuine
headlight lens covers will cause the
headlight lens to overheat and distort,
causing irreparable damage to the
headlight assembly.
Damage caused by overheating is
not considered a manufacturing
defect and will not be covered under
warranty.
If the headlight must be covered
during use - such as taping of
the headlight lens required during
closed-course conditions - the
headlight must be disconnected.
Headlight/Position Light Bulb
Replacement
The headlight unit consists of a
headlight bulb and position bulb that
can be replaced following the headlight
bulb replacement procedure.
Daytime Running Lights (if equipped)
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are
situated within the headlight assembly
and are sealed, maintenance free LED
units. If DRL are equipped then there is
no position bulb.
Warning
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 reuse.
Caution
The use of non-approved headlight
bulbs may result in damage to the
headlight lens.
Use a genuine Triumph supplied
headlight bulb as specified in the
Triumph Parts Catalog.
Always have replacement headlight
bulbs installed by an authorized
Triumph dealer.
