Caution
If the engine fails to start, wait at least
five seconds before attempting to
start the engine again.
If the engine fails to start after three
attempts, the starter system will be
disabled for two minutes to protect
the battery and starter system.
If the engine fails to start after a
further six attempts, do not continue
any further attempts. Consult your
authorised Triumph dealer.
Continued attempts at starting the
engine will cause serious damage to
the battery or starting system.

1. Master ignition switch (if fitted)
2. Engine start/stop switch - QUICK START
position
3. Neutral indicator light
To start the engine:
• Make sure that the master ignition
switch (if fitted) is turned to the ON
position, see page 26.
• Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
• Press and hold the QUICK START
position on the engine start/stop
switch until the engine starts.
• Make sure the transmission is in
neutral.
The motorcycle is equipped with starter
lockout switches. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
the transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
If the side stand is extended whilst the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of clutch position.
Note
A transponder is fitted within the key
to turn off the engine immobiliser. Only
have one of the ignition keys near the
motorcycle. Having two ignition keys
near the motorcycle may interrupt the
signal between the transponder and the
engine immobiliser. In this situation the
engine immobiliser will remain active
until one of the ignition keys is removed.
