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.
