Foreword - Safety First
A
WARNING:
Use of a
motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the maximum
limit (when 1Omm or more of the
radiused tip of either front footrest is
worn away) will allow the motorcycle
to be banked to an unsafe angle.
Never change the setting of the
gearchange rod or brake pedal
pushrod as this may adversely affect
the bank angle at which the bank
angle indicators contact the ground.
Banking to an unsafe angle may
cause instability, loss of control and
an accident causing injury or death.
A
WARNING:
Ensure all
equipment which is required
by law is installed and functioning
correctly.
The removal or alteration of the
motorcycles
lights,
silencers,
emission or noise control systems
can violate the law.
Incorrect or improper modification
may adversely affect the handling,
stability or other aspect of the
motorcycle operation which may
result in an accident causing injury or
death.
A
WARNING: If the motorcycle
is involved in an accident or
collision it must be taken to an
authorised Triumph dealer for
inspection and repair. Any accident
can cause damage to the motorcycle
which, if not correctly repaired, may
cause a second accident which may
result in injury or death.
A
WARNING:
Consult your
authorised Triumph dealer
whenever there is doubt as to the
correct or safe operation of this
Triumph motorcycle.
Remember that continued operation
of an
incorrectly
performing
motorcycle may aggravate the fault
and may also prejudice safety.
A
WARNING: When riding the
motorcycle both rider and
passenger must always wear a crash
helmet,
eye protection, gloves,
trousers (close fitting around the
knee and ankle) and a brightly
coloured jacket. Brightly coloured
clothing will considerably increase a
rider’s (or passenger’s) visibility to
other operators of road vehicles.
Although full protection is not
possible, wearing correct protective
clothing can reduce the risk of injury
when riding.
A
WARNING: A crash helmet is
one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger’s crash helmet
should be carefully chosen and
should fit you or your passenger’s
head comfortably and securely. A
brightly coloured helmet will increase
a rider’s (or passenger’s) visibility to
other operators of road vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
