General Information
Starter Button
The starter button operates the
electric starter. For the starter to
operate, the clutch lever must be pulled to
the handlebar.
Note:
• Even if the clutch lever is pulled to
the handlebar, the starter will not
operate if the side stand is down
and a gear is engaged.
• Light switches are no longer fitted
to any Triumph model. Instead, the
head and tail lights automatically
come on when the ignition is in
the ON position.

High or low beam can be selected
