Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS equipped brake system. Do
not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with the warning light
illuminated. Contact an authorised
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to
have the fault checked and rectified.
In this situation braking too hard will
cause the wheels to lock resulting
in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light
The Traction Control (TC)
indicator light is used to
indicate that the traction
control system is active and is
working to limit rear wheel slip during
periods of hard acceleration or under
wet or slippery road conditions.
Warning
If the traction control is not
functioning, care must be taken when
accelerating and cornering on wet/
slippery road surfaces to avoid rear
wheel spin.
Do not continue to ride for longer
than is necessary with the engine
management system Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) and traction
control warning lights illuminated.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked.
Hard acceleration and cornering in this
situation may cause the rear wheel
to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
If traction control is switched on:
• Under normal riding conditions the
TC indicator light will remain off.
• The TC indicator light will flash
rapidly when the traction control
system is working to limit rear
wheel slip during periods of hard
acceleration or under wet or
slippery road conditions.
If traction control is switched off:
• The TC indicator light will not
illuminate. Instead the TC disabled
warning light will be illuminated.
Note
Traction control will not function if
there is a malfunction with the ABS.
The warning lights for the ABS, traction
control and the MIL will be illuminated.
