HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
96
TSA is not an automatic system for
changing gears. Gears must be selected
and changed in the normal way using
the gear pedal as described on page
94.
TSA works for both up shifts and down
shifts of gear. The clutch must be used
for stopping and pulling away. The
clutch must be used when selecting any
gear from neutral, and also when
selecting neutral from any other gear.
Triumph Shift Assist will not operate if:
▼ The clutch is applied.
▼ An up shift is attempted by mistake
when in 6th gear.
▼ A down shift is attempted by mistake
when in 1st gear.
▼ An up shift is attempted at very low
engine speeds.
▼ A down shift is attempted at very
high engine speeds.
▼ An up shift is attempted during
overrun.
▼ The vehicle speed limiter is active.
▼ Cruise control is active.
▼ Traction control is operating.
▼ If the previous gear has not fully
engaged.
▼ The throttle is changed during a
shift.
If TSA does not operate, the clutch can
be used to change gears in the normal
way.
Braking
All motorcycle models are equipped with
a partially integrated braking system,
combined with the Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS).
This partially integrated braking system
is designed to increase the braking
efficiency of the rider.
When the rider applies the front brake,
a small amount of rear brake is also
applied, allowing for balancing braking.
The amount of rear brake application is
related to the level of braking force
applied by the rider through the front
brake lever.
Use of the rear brake pedal alone will
only apply the rear brake.
