Warning
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up
the spillage immediately and dispose of
the materials used safely.
Take care not to spill any fuel near the
cable or the cable hole, on the engine,
exhaust pipes, tyres or any other part
of the motorcycle.
Because fuel is highly flammable, any
fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to
observe the safety advice given above
may lead to a fire hazard, which could
cause damage to property and injury
or death to persons.
• Make sure that the seal and rubber
gasket are attached to the fuel tank
cap in the correct position.
• Carefully refit the fuel tank cap,
seal and gasket taking care not to
stretch or trap the cable.
• Refit the fuel tank cap fixings and
tighten to 2.5 Nm.
• Take the motorcycle to the nearest
Triumph dealer to check and rectify.
