How to Ride the Motorcycle
107
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS equipped brake system.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with the warning light
illuminated.
Contact an authorised 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 motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate
when the rear wheel is driven at high
speed for more than 30 seconds when
the motorcycle is on a stand. This
reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off
and the motorcycle is restarted, the
warning light will illuminate until the
motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding
19 mph (30 km/h).
Warning
The ABS system operates by
comparing the relative speed of the
front and rear wheels.
Use of non-recommended tyres can
affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially
leading to loss of control and an
accident in conditions where the ABS
would normally function.
Parking
Warning
Petrol is extremely flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
If parking inside a garage or other
structure, be sure it is well ventilated
and the motorcycle is not close to
any source of flame or sparks. This
includes any appliance with a pilot
light.
Failure to follow the above advice may
cause a fire resulting in damage to
property or personal injury.
Warning
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding.
DO NOT park where pedestrians
and children are likely to touch the
motorcycle.
Touching any part of the engine or
exhaust system when hot may cause
unprotected skin to become burnt.
Warning
Do not park on a soft or steeply
inclined surface.
