Maintenance
174
For help with selecting a battery
charger, checking the battery voltage or
battery charging, contact your local
authorized Triumph dealer.
Should the battery voltage fall below 12.7
Volts, the battery should be charged
using a Triumph approved battery
charger. Always remove the battery
from the motorcycle and follow the
instructions supplied with the battery
charger.
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.

do not touch the motorcycle frame as
this may cause a short circuit or spark,

causing a risk of personal injury.
To install the battery:
• Place the battery in the battery
case.
• Reconnect the battery, positive
(red) lead first and tighten the
battery terminals to
39.8 lbf in
