Warning
Continued
Parking under these conditions may
cause the motorcycle to fall over
causing damage to property and
personal injury.
To park the motorcycle:
• Select neutral and turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
• Lock the steering to help prevent
theft.
• Always park on a firm, level surface
to prevent the motorcycle from
falling. This is particularly important
when parking off-road.
• When parking on a hill, always
park facing uphill to prevent the
motorcycle from rolling off the
stand. Engage first gear to prevent
the motorcycle from moving.
• On a lateral (sideways) incline,
always park such that the incline
naturally pushes the motorcycle
towards the side stand.
• Do not park on a lateral (sideways)
incline of greater than 6° and never
park facing downhill.
Considerations for High
Speed Operation
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road travelled.
Operating a motorcycle at high speeds
can be potentially dangerous since the
time available to react to given traffic
situations is greatly reduced as road
speed increases.
Always reduce speed in potentially
hazardous driving conditions such as
bad weather or heavy traffic.
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed-course on-
road competition or on closed-course
racetracks.
High speed operation should only
then be attempted by riders who have
been instructed in the techniques
necessary for high speed riding and
are familiar with the motorcycle's
characteristics in all conditions.
High speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
