Triumph Speed Triple R, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 65 / 148

General Information
65
From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to
1500 kilometers):
• Engine speed can gradually be
increased to the rev limit for short
periods.
Both during and after breaking-in has
been completed:
• Do not over-rev the engine when
cold.
• Do not lug the engine. Always
downshift before the engine begins
to 'struggle'.
• Do not ride with engine speeds
unnecessarily high. Shifting up a
gear helps reduce fuel consumption,
reduces noise and helps to protect
the environment.
Safe Operation
Daily Safety Checks
Check the following items each day
before you ride. The time required is
minimal, and these checks will help
ensure a safe, reliable ride.
If any irregularities are found during
these checks, refer to the Maintenance
and Adjustment section or see your
authorized Triumph dealer for the action
required to return the motorcycle to a
safe operating condition.
Warning
Failure to perform these checks every
day before you ride may result in
serious motorcycle damage or an
accident causing serious injury or
death.
