General Information
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Indicator Light
(Only on models equipped with ABS)
The ABS indicator light
illuminates to show that the
ABS function is not available.
Illumination is normal after engine start-up,
and until the motorcycle first reaches a speed
exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h). Unless there is a
fault, it should not illuminate again until the
engine is restarted.
If the indicator light becomes illuminated at
any other time while riding it indicates that
the ABS has a malfunction that requires
investigation.
See also Braking on page 45 .
Alarm Indicator Light
The alarm light will illuminate
when the conditions described in
the accessory alarm instructions
are met.
The light does not function unless an alarm is
fitted.
Ignition Key
1. Key number tag
In addition to operating the steering lock/
ignition switch, the ignition key is required to
operate the seat lock and fuel tank cap.
When the motorcycle is delivered from the
factory, two keys are supplied together with a
small tag bearing the key number. Make a
note of the key number and store the spare
key and key number tag in a safe place away
from the motorcycle.
Your authorized Triumph dealer can supply a
replacement key cut from details of the key
number or can cut a new key using the
original as a master.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a non
ABS braking system. Do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with the
indicator light illuminated. Contact an
authorized 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 control and an accident.
Caution
Do not store the spare key with the
motorcycle as this will reduce all aspects of
security.
