Fuel Grade
This Triumph motorcycle is designed to
run on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or
AKI octane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or
higher. Federal regulations require that
pumps delivering unleaded gasoline are
marked 'UNLEADED' and that the Cost
of Living Council (CLC) or Anti-Knock
Index (AKI) octane rating is also
displayed. These ratings are an average
of the Research Octane Number (RON)
and the Motor Octane Number (MON).
In
certain
circumstances
engine
calibration may be required. Always
refer to your authorized Triumph dealer.
Notice
The use of leaded fuel is illegal in some
countries, states or territories.
Caution
The motorcycle can be permanently
damaged if it is allowed to operate with
the incorrect grade of fuel or incorrect
engine calibration. Always make sure
the fuel used is of the correct grade
and quality. Damage caused by using
the incorrect fuel or engine calibration
is not considered a manufacturing
defect and will not be covered under
warranty.
Caution
The
exhaust
system
for
this
motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust
emission levels. Use of leaded fuel will
damage the catalytic converter. In
addition, the catalytic converter can be
permanently
damaged
if
the
motorcycle is allowed to run out of fuel
or if the fuel level is allowed to get very
low. Always make sure you have
adequate fuel for your journey.
Note:
•
If 'knocking' or 'pinging' occurs at a
steady engine speed under normal
load, use a different brand of
gasoline or gasoline which has a
higher octane rating.
Oxygenated Gasoline
To help in meeting clean air standards,
some areas of the U.S. use oxygenated
gasoline
to
help
reduce
harmful
emissions. These gasolines are a blend
of conventional gasoline and another
compound such as alcohol. This Triumph
motorcycle
will
give
its
best
performance when using unleaded
gasoline. However, the following should
be used as a guide if you use any
oxygenated fuels.
