How to Ride the Motorcycle
101
To shift gears:
• Close the throttle while pulling in the
clutch lever.
• Shift into the next higher or lower
gear.
• Open the throttle part way, while
releasing the clutch lever.
• Always use the clutch when shifting
gear.
Note
The gear shift mechanism is the
'positive stop' type. This means that, for
each movement of the gear shift pedal,
you can only select each gear, one after
the other, in ascending or descending
order.
Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) (if
equipped)
Caution
Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) is optimized
for on-road use.
It must not be used during off-road
riding.
Caution
In the event of a TSA system fault
when riding, the TSA system will be
disabled.
Use the clutch to shift gears in the
normal way otherwise damage to the
engine or gear box may occur.
Contact a Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
Caution
Shifting gears must be completed with
a quick and forceful pedal movement,
making sure that the pedal moves
through its full range of travel.
Always take care when shifting gears.
After a gear shift, the pedal must be
fully released before another gear
shift can be made.
Incorrect gear shifts can cause
damage to the engine and
transmission.
Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) adjusts the
engine torque to allow gears to engage,
without closure of the throttle twist grip
or operation of the clutch.
