Maintenance
99
For extended periods of storage (beyond
two weeks) the battery should be
removed from the motorcycle and kept
charged using a Triumph approved
maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge fall
to a level where it will not start the
motorcycle, remove the battery from
the motorcycle before charging.
Battery Installation
Warning
Before starting work, ensure the
motorcycle is stabilized and adequately
supported. This will help prevent it
from falling and causing injury to the
operator or damage to the motorcycle.
Warning
Ensure that the battery terminals do
not touch the motorcycle frame as this
may cause a short circuit or spark,
which would ignite battery gases
causing a risk of personal injury.
Make sure the battery strap is correctly
positioned on the hook at the rear of
the battery cage.
Position the battery strap guide and
battery in the battery tray, routing the
negative (black) battery lead as noted
during removal.
Connect the positive (red) battery lead
to the battery and tighten to
40 lbf in
(4.5 Nm). Push the battery fully into the
battery tray.
