How to Ride the Motorcycle
Braking
This motorcycle is equipped with the
Triumph Linked Brakes System, combined
with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS).
In this system the rear brake is linked to the
two lower pistons in the front right hand
brake caliper.
Operating the rear brake pedal will partially
operate the front brake, allowing for
balanced braking under all riding conditions.
For full brake effectiveness always operate the
front brake lever and the rear brake pedal
simultaneously.
1. Front brake lever
1. Rear brake pedal
Warning
Do not change to a lower gear at speeds
that will cause excessive engine speeds.
This can lock the rear wheel causing loss of
control and an accident. Engine damage
may also be caused. Shifting down should
be done such that low engine speeds will
be ensured.
Warning
Do not coast with the engine switched off,
and do not tow the motorcycle. The
transmission is pressure-lubricated only
when the engine is running. Inadequate
lubrication may cause damage or seizure
of the transmission, which can lead to
sudden loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
