HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
103
Considerations for High
Speed Operation
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road travelled.
Operating a motorcycle at high speeds
can be potentially dangerous since the
time available to react to given traffic
situations is greatly reduced as road
speed increases.
Always reduce speed in potentially
hazardous driving conditions such as
bad weather or heavy traffic.
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed-course, on-
road competition or on closed-course
racetracks.
High speed operation should only then
be attempted by riders who have been
instructed
in the techniques
necessary for high speed riding and
are familiar with the motorcycle's
characteristics in all conditions.
High speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary
from those you are familiar with at
legal road speeds.
Do not attempt high speed operation
unless you have received sufficient
training and have the required skills as
a serious accident may result from
incorrect operation.
Warning
The items listed below are extremely
important
and must never be
neglected. A problem, which may not
be noticed at normal operating speeds,
may be greatly exaggerated at high
speeds.
General
Make sure that the motorcycle has been
maintained according to the scheduled
maintenance chart.
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes
are functioning correctly.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the
upper level line in the expansion tank.
Always check the level with the engine
cold.
Electrical Equipment
Make sure that all electrical equipment
such as the headlight, rear/brake light,
direction indicators and horn all work
correctly.
