Warning
Continued
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the
stability
and
handling
of
the
motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
When riding at high speed, always be
aware
that
various
motorcycle
configuration
and
environmental
factors can adversely affect the
stability of your motorcycle. For
example:
Incorrectly balanced loads on both
sides of the motorcycle
Incorrectly adjusted front and rear
suspension settings
Incorrectly adjusted tire pressures
Excessively or unevenly worn tires
Side winds and turbulence from other
vehicles
Loose clothing.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by the
fitting of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tires, overall
motorcycle condition and poor road or
weather conditions.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except
in authorized closed-course conditions.
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.
Warning
Your passenger should be instructed
that he or she can cause loss of
motorcycle control by making sudden
movements
or
by
adopting
an
incorrect seated position.
The
rider
should
instruct
the
passenger as follows:
It is important that the passenger sits
still while the motorcycle is in motion
and does not interfere with the
operation of the motorcycle.
To keep his or her feet on the
passenger footrests and to firmly hold
onto the seat strap or the rider's waist
or hips.
Advise the passenger to lean with the
rider when traveling around corners
and not to lean unless the rider does
so.
