Warning
For models that have manually
adjustable suspension, make sure that
front and rear spring preload and
damping settings are suitable for the
loading condition of the motorcycle
(see page
Note the maximum permissible payload
for the panniers is stated on a label
inside the pannier.
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 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
Never ride an accessory-equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80
mph (130
km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
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 configu-
ration 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 reduce by the instal-
lation of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tires, overall
motorcycle condition and poor road or
weather conditions.
