With the ignition switch turned to the ONposition, if the TPMS symbol flashes for10 seconds and then remains on there is afault with the TPMS system. Contact yourauthorised Triumph dealer to have the faultrectified.

Tyre PressuresThe tyre pressures shown on your instrumentpanel indicate the actual tyre pressure at thetime of selecting the display. This may differfrom the inflation pressure set when the tyresare cold because tyres become warmerduring riding, causing the air in the tyre toexpand and the inflation pressure to increase.The cold inflation pressures specified byTriumph take account of this.

Owners must only adjust tyre pressures whenthe tyres are cold using an accurate tyrepressure gauge (see page 99), and must notuse the tyre pressure display on theinstruments.

Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel Grade

Your Triumph engine is designed to useunleaded fuel and will give optimumperformance if the correct grade of fuel isused. Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC modelscan use unleaded fuel with an octane ratingof 91 RON or higher.

CautionThe exhaust system is fitted with a catalyticconverter to help reduce exhaust emissionlevels. The catalytic converter can bepermanently damaged if the motorcycle isallowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel levelis allowed to get very low. Always ensureyou have adequate fuel for your journey.

CautionThe use of leaded fuel is illegal in mostcountries, states or territories. Use ofleaded fuel will damage the catalyticconverter.

Pb

WarningTo help reduce hazards associated withrefuelling, always observe the followingfuel safety instructions:

Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and can beexplosive under certain conditions. Whenrefuelling, turn the ignition switch to theOFF position.

Do not smoke.

Do not use a mobile telephone.

Make sure the refuelling area is wellventilated and free from any source offlame or sparks. This includes anyappliance with a pilot light.

Never fill the tank until the fuel level risesinto the filler neck. Heat from sunlight orother sources may cause the fuel toexpand and overflow creating a firehazard.

After refuelling always check that the fuelfiller cap is correctly closed and locked.

Because petrol (fuel) is highly flammable,any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure toobserve the safety advice given above willlead to a fire hazard, which could causedamage to property, injury to persons ordeath.

Stand

Side Stand

1. Side standThe motorcycle is equipped with a side standon which the motorcycle can be parked.

WarningOverfilling the tank can lead to fuelspillage.

If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up thespillage immediately and dispose of thematerials used safely.

Take care not to spill any fuel on theengine, exhaust pipes, tyres or any otherpart of the motorcycle.

Because fuel is highly flammable, any fuelleak or spillage, or any failure to observethe safety advice given above may lead toa fire hazard, which could cause damage toproperty and injury or death to persons.

Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tyres willreduce the tyre's ability to grip the road.This will result in a dangerous ridingcondition potentially causing loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

WarningThe motorcycle is fitted with an interlocksystem to prevent it from being riddenwith the side stand in the down position.

Never attempt to ride with the side standdown or interfere with the interlockmechanism as this will cause a dangerousriding condition leading to loss ofmotorcycle control and an accident.

General Information

Electrical Accessory Socket

1. Electrical accessory socketAn electrical accessory socket is provided onthe motorcycle, located next to the ignitionswitch.

The socket will provide a 12 Volt electricalsupply. The socket is protected by a 10 Ampfuse, therefore items with a current drawgreater than 10 Amps must not be pluggedinto the socket.

A plug, suitable for use with the accessorysocket, is available from your authorisedTriumph dealer.

Running-In

Running-in is the name given to the processthat occurs during the first hours of a newvehicle's operation.

In particular, internal friction in the engine willbe higher when components are new. Lateron, when continued operation of the enginehas ensured that the components have'bedded in', this internal friction will begreatly reduced.

A period of careful running-in will ensurelower exhaust emissions, and will optimiseperformance, fuel economy and longevity ofthe engine and other motorcyclecomponents.

During the first 500 miles (800 kilometres):

• Do not use full throttle.

• Avoid high engine speeds at alltimes.

• Avoid riding at one constant enginespeed, whether fast or slow, for along period of time.

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops, andrapid accelerations, except in anemergency.

• Do not ride at speeds greater than3/4 of maximum engine speed.

General Information

From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to1500 kilometres):

• Engine speed can gradually beincreased to the rev limit for shortperiods.

Both during and after running-in has beencompleted:

• Do not over-rev the engine whencold.

• Do not let the engine labour. Alwaysdownshift before the engine beginsto 'struggle'.

• Do not ride with engine speedsunnecessarily high. Changing up agear helps reduce fuel consumption,reduces noise and helps to protectthe environment.

Safe Operation

Daily Safety Checks

Check the following items each day beforeyou ride. The time required is minimal, andthese checks will help ensure a safe, reliableride.

If any irregularities are found during thesechecks, refer to the Maintenance andAdjustment section or see your authorisedTriumph dealer for the action required toreturn the motorcycle to a safe operatingcondition.

Check:

Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel leaks(page 42).

Engine Oil: Correct level on dipstick. Addcorrect specification oil as required. No leaksfrom the engine or oil cooler (page 76).

Drive Chain: Correct adjustment (page 85).

Tyres/Wheels: Correct inflation pressures(when cold). Tread depth/wear, tyre/wheeldamage, punctures etc. (page 97).

WarningFailure to perform these checks every daybefore you ride may result in seriousmotorcycle damage or an accident causingserious injury or death.

CautionThe engine should normally be stopped byturning the ignition switch to theOFF position. The engine stop switch is foremergency use only. Do not leave theignition switched on with the enginestopped. Electrical damage may result.

55


• A transponder is fitted within thekey to turn off the engineimmobiliser. To ensure theimmobiliser functions correctly,always have only one of theignition keys near the ignitionswitch. Having two ignition keysnear the switch may interrupt thesignal between the transponderand the engine immobiliser. In thissituation the engine immobiliserwill remain active until one of theignition keys is removed.

• In very cold conditions, part openthe throttle to aid cold starting.Return it to the closed positiononce the engine has started.

Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.

Leaving the throttle fully closed, push thestarter button until the engine starts.

• The motorcycle is equipped withstarter lockout switches. The switchesprevent the electric starter fromoperating when the transmission isnot in neutral with the side standdown.

• If the side stand is extended whilstthe engine is running, and thetransmission is not in neutral thenthe engine will stop regardless ofclutch position.

WarningNever start the engine or run the engine ina confined area. Exhaust fumes arepoisonous and can cause loss ofconsciousness and death within a shortperiod of time. Always operate yourmotorcycle in the open-air or in an areawith adequate ventilation.

CautionDo not operate the starter continuously formore than 5 seconds as the starter motorwill overheat and the battery will becomedischarged. Wait 15 seconds between eachoperation of the starter to allow for coolingand recovery of battery power.

Do not let the engine idle for long periodsas this may lead to overheating which willcause damage to the engine.

CautionThe low oil pressure warning light shouldgo out shortly after the engine starts.

If the low oil pressure warning light stayson after starting the engine, stop theengine immediately and investigate thecause. Running the engine with low oilpressure will cause severe engine damage.

56


Moving OffPull in the clutch lever and select first gear.Open the throttle a little and let out the clutchlever slowly. As the clutch starts to engage,open the throttle a little more, allowingenough engine speed to avoid stalling.

Changing Gears

1. Gear-change pedalClose the throttle while pulling in theclutch lever. Change into the nexthigher or lower gear. Open the throttlepart way, while releasing the clutchlever. Always use the clutch whenchanging gear.

Note:

• The gear change mechanism is the'positive stop' type. This meansthat, for each movement of thegear change pedal, you can onlyselect each gear, one after theother, in ascending or descendingorder.

cgiu

65432N1

WarningTake care to avoid opening the throttle toofar or too fast in any of the lower gears asthis can lead to the front wheel lifting fromthe ground (pulling a 'wheelie') and to therear tyre breaking traction (wheel spin).

Always open the throttle cautiously,particularly if you are unfamiliar with themotorcycle, as a 'wheelie' or loss of tractionwill cause loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningDo not change to a lower gear at speedsthat will cause excessive engine rpm(r/min). This can lock the rear wheelcausing loss of control and an accident.Engine damage may also be caused.Changing down should be done such thatlow engine speeds will be ensured.

57


Braking

1. Front brake lever

1. Rear brake pedal

WarningWHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:Close the throttle completely, leaving theclutch engaged to allow the engine to helpslow down the motorcycle.

Change down one gear at a time such thatthe transmission is in first gear when themotorcycle comes to a complete stop.

When stopping, always apply both brakesat the same time. Normally the front brakeshould be applied a little more than therear.

Change down or fully disengage the clutchas necessary to keep the engine fromstalling.

Never lock the brakes, as this may causeloss of control of the motorcycle and anaccident.

cgjj

WarningFor emergency braking, disregard downchanging, and concentrate on applying thefront and rear brakes as hard as possiblewithout skidding. Riders should practiceemergency braking in a traffic-free area(see ABS warnings below/over).

Triumph strongly recommends that allriders take a course of instruction, whichincludes advice on safe brake operation.Incorrect brake technique could result inloss of control and an accident.

1cgit

58


WarningFor your safety, always exercise extremecaution when braking (whether or not ABSis fitted), accelerating or turning as anyincautious action can cause loss of controland an accident. Independent use of thefront or rear brakes reduces overallbraking performance. Extreme brakingmay cause either wheel to lock, reducingcontrol of the motorcycle and causing anaccident (see ABS warnings below).

When possible, reduce speed or brakebefore entering a turn as closing thethrottle or braking in mid-turn may causewheel slip leading to loss of control and anaccident.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions, oron loose surfaces, the ability to manoeuvreand stop will be reduced. All of youractions should be smooth under theseconditions. Sudden acceleration, braking orturning may cause loss of control and anaccident.

WarningWhen descending a long, steep gradient,use engine braking by down changing anduse the brakes intermittently. Continuousbrake application can overheat the brakesand reduce their effectiveness.

Riding with your foot on the brake pedalor your hands on the brake lever mayactuate the brake light, giving a falseindication to other road users. It may alsooverheat the brake, reducing brakingeffectiveness.

Do not coast with the engine switched off,and do not tow the motorcycle. Thetransmission is pressure-lubricated onlywhen the engine is running. Inadequatelubrication may cause damage or seizureof the transmission, which can lead tosudden loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningWhen using the motorcycle on loose, wet,or muddy roads, braking effectiveness willbe reduced by dust, mud or moisturecollecting on the brakes. Always brakeearlier in these conditions to ensure brakesurfaces are cleaned by the braking action.Riding the motorcycle with brakescontaminated with dust, mud or moisturemay cause loss of control and an accident.

59


ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) - (if fitted)

ABS Warning LightThe ABS indicator lightilluminates to show that the ABSfunction is not available, or that

the ABS has been disabled by the rider (seepage 27). Illumination is normal after enginestart-up, and until the motorcycle first reachesa speed exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h). Unlessthere is a fault, or the system has beendisabled, it should not illuminate again untilthe engine is restarted.

If the indicator light becomes illuminated atany other time while riding, it indicates thatthe ABS has a malfunction that requiresinvestigation.

Note:

• Normally, the rider will perceiveABS operation as a harder feel or apulsation of the brake lever andpedal. As the ABS is not anintegrated braking system and itdoes not control both the frontand rear brake at the same time,this pulsation may be felt in thelever, the pedal or both.

• The ABS may be activated bysudden upward or downwardchanges in the road surface.

WarningWhere fitted, ABS prevents the wheelsfrom locking, therefore maximising theeffectiveness of the braking system inemergencies and when riding on slipperysurfaces. The potentially shorter brakingdistances ABS allows under certainconditions are not a substitute for goodriding practice.

Always ride within the legal speed limit.

Never ride without due care and attentionand always reduce speed in considerationof weather, road and traffic conditions.

Take care when cornering. If the brakes areapplied in a corner, ABS will not be able tocounteract the weight and momentum ofthe motorcycle. This can result in loss ofcontrol and an accident.

Under some circumstances it is possiblethat a motorcycle equipped with ABS mayrequire a longer stopping distance than anequivalent motorcycle without ABS.

60


Parking

Select neutral and turn the ignition switch tothe OFF position.

Lock the steering to help prevent theft.

Always park on a firm, level surface toprevent the motorcycle from falling. This isparticularly important when parking off road.

When parking on a hill, always park facinguphill to prevent the motorcycle from rollingoff the stand. Engage first gear to prevent themotorcycle from moving.

On a lateral (sideways) incline, always parksuch that the incline naturally pushes themotorcycle towards the sidestand.

Do not park on a lateral (sideways) incline ofgreater than 6° and never park facingdownhill.

Note:

• When parking near traffic at night,or when parking in a locationwhere parking lights are requiredby law, leave the tail, licence plateand position lights on by turningthe ignition switch to P (PARK).

WarningIf the ABS is not functioning, the brakesystem will continue to function as a non-ABS braking system. Do not continue toride for longer than is necessary with theindicator light illuminated. In the event of afault, contact an authorised Triumph dealeras soon as possible to have the faultchecked and rectified. In this situation,braking too hard will cause the wheels tolock resulting in loss of control and anaccident.

WarningThe ABS warning light will illuminate whenthe rear wheel is driven at high speed formore than 30 seconds when themotorcycle is on a stand. This reaction isnormal.

When the ignition is switched off and themotorcycle is re-started, the warning lightwill illuminate until the motorcycle reachesa speed exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h).

WarningThe ABS computer operates by comparingthe relative speed of the front and rearwheels. Use of non-recommended tyrescan affect wheel speed and cause the ABSfunction not to operate, potentially leadingto loss of control and an accident inconditions where the ABS would normallyfunction.

Do not leave the switch in the P position forlong periods of time as this will discharge thebattery.

Considerations for High-Speed Operation

WarningDo not park on a soft or on a steeplyinclined surface. Parking under theseconditions may cause the motorcycle to fallover causing damage to property andpersonal injury.

WarningPetrol is extremely flammable and can beexplosive under certain conditions. Ifparking inside a garage or other structure,be sure it is well ventilated and themotorcycle is not close to any source offlame or sparks. This includes anyappliance with a pilot light.

Failure to follow the above advice maycause a fire resulting in damage toproperty or personal injury.

WarningThe engine and exhaust system will be hotafter riding. DO NOT park wherepedestrians and children are likely to touchthe motorcycle.

Touching any part of the engine or exhaustsystem when hot may cause unprotectedskin to become burnt.

WarningThis Triumph motorcycle should beoperated within the legal speed limits forthe particular road travelled. Operating amotorcycle at high speeds can bepotentially dangerous since the timeavailable to react to given traffic situationsis greatly reduced as road speed increases.Always reduce speed in consideration ofweather and traffic conditions.

WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle athigh speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed-course racetracks.High-speed operation should only then beattempted by riders who have beeninstructed in the techniques necessary forhigh-speed riding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions.

High-speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous and will lead toloss of motorcycle control and an accident.

62


GeneralEnsure the motorcycle has been maintainedaccording to the scheduled maintenancechart.

SteeringCheck that the handlebar turns smoothlywithout excessive free play or tight spots.Ensure that the control cables do not restrictthe steering in any way.

LuggageMake certain that any luggage containers areclosed, locked and securely fitted to themotorcycle.

BrakesCheck that the front and rear brakes arefunctioning properly.

TyresHigh-speed operation is hard on tyres, andtyres that are in good condition are crucial toriding safely. Examine their overall condition,inflate to the correct pressure (when the tyresare cold), and check the wheel balance.Securely fit the valve caps after checking tyrepressures. Observe the information given inthe Maintenance and Specification sectionson tyre checking and tyre safety.

FuelHave sufficient fuel for the increased fuelconsumption that will result from high-speedoperation.

WarningThe handling characteristics of amotorcycle at high speed may vary fromthose you are familiar with at legal roadspeeds. Do not attempt high-speedoperation unless you have receivedsufficient training and have the requiredskills as a serious accident may result fromincorrect operation.

WarningThe items listed are extremely importantand must never be neglected. A problem,which may not be noticed at normaloperating speeds, may be greatlyexaggerated at high speeds.

CautionThe exhaust system is fitted with a catalyticconverter to help reduce exhaust emissionlevels. The catalytic converter can bepermanently damaged if the motorcycle isallowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel levelis allowed to get very low. Always ensureyou have adequate fuel for your journey.

63


Engine OilMake certain that the engine oil level iscorrect. Ensure that the correct grade andtype of oil is used when topping up.

CoolantCheck that the coolant level is at the upperlevel line in the expansion tank. (Alwayscheck the level with the engine cold.)

Electrical EquipmentMake certain that the headlight, rear/brakelight, direction indicators, horn, etc. all workproperly.

MiscellaneousVisually check that all fixings are tight.

Accessories and Loading

ACCESSORIES AND LOADINGThe addition of accessories and carriage ofadditional weight can affect the motorcycle'shandling characteristics causing changes instability and necessitating a reduction inspeed. The following information has beenprepared as a guide to the potential hazardsof adding accessories to a motorcycle andcarrying passengers and additional loads.

Adjust the headlight aim to compensate foradditional loads, see page 109.

WarningIncorrect loading may result in an unsaferiding condition leading to an accident.

Always ensure any loads carried are evenlydistributed on both sides of the motorcycle.Ensure that the load is correctly securedsuch that it will not move around while themotorcycle is in motion.

Always check the load security regularly(though not while the motorcycle is inmotion) and ensure that the load does notextend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.

Never exceed the maximum vehicleloading weight of:

Tiger 800 - 225 kg (496 lb);

Tiger 800XC - 223 kg (492 lb).

This maximum loading weight is made upfrom the combined weight of the rider,passenger, any accessories fitted and anyload carried.

WarningDo not install accessories or carry luggagethat impairs the control of the motorcycle.Make sure that you have not adverselyaffected the visibility of any lightingcomponent, road clearance, bankingcapability (i.e. lean angle), controloperation, wheel travel, front forkmovement, visibility in any direction, orany other aspect of the motorcycle'soperation.

WarningThis motorcycle must not be operatedabove the legal road speed limit except inauthorised closed-course conditions.

WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle athigh speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed-course racetracks.High-speed operation should only then beattempted by riders who have beeninstructed in the techniques necessary forhigh-speed riding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions.

High-speed operation in any othercircumstances is dangerous and will lead toloss of motorcycle control and an accident.

66


WarningYour passenger should be instructed thathe or she can cause loss of motorcyclecontrol by making sudden movements orby adopting an incorrect seated position.

The rider should instruct the passenger asfollows:

• It is important that the passengersits still while the motorcycle is inmotion and does not interferewith the operation of themotorcycle.

• To keep his or her feet on thepassenger footrests and to firmlyhold onto the seat strap or therider's waist or hips.

• Advise the passenger to lean withthe rider when travelling aroundcorners and not to lean unless therider does so.

WarningDo not carry animals on your motorcycle.

An animal could make sudden andunpredictable movements that could leadto loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningThe handling and braking capabilities of amotorcycle will be affected by the presenceof a passenger. The rider must makeallowances for these changes whenoperating the motorcycle with a passengerand should not attempt such operationunless trained to do so and withoutbecoming familiar and comfortable withthe changes in motorcycle operatingcharacteristics that this brings about.

Motorcycle operation without makingallowances for the presence of a passengercould lead to loss of motorcycle controland an accident.

WarningNever attempt to store any items betweenthe frame and the fuel tank. This canrestrict the steering and will cause loss ofcontrol leading to an accident.

Weight attached to the handlebar or frontfork will increase the mass of the steeringassembly and can result in loss of steeringcontrol leading to an accident.

WarningDo not carry a passenger unless he or sheis tall enough to reach the footrestsprovided.

A passenger who is not tall enough toreach the footrests will be unable to sitsecurely on the motorcycle and may causeinstability leading to loss of control and anaccident.

WarningNever ride an accessory equippedmotorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying apayload of any kind, at speeds above80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both ofthese conditions, speeds in excess of80 mph (130 km/h) should not beattempted even where the legal speedlimit permits this.

The presence of accessories and/orpayload will cause changes in the stabilityand handling of the motorcycle.

Failure to allow for changes in motorcyclestability may lead to loss of control or anaccident.

Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)absolute limit will be reduced by the fittingof non-approved accessories, incorrectloading, worn tyres, overall motorcyclecondition and poor road or weatherconditions.

WarningIf the passenger seat is used to carry smallobjects, they must not exceed 5 kg inweight, must not impair control of themotorcycle, must be securely attached andmust not extend beyond the rear or sidesof the motorcycle.

Carriage of objects in excess of 5 kg inweight, that are insecure, impair control orextend beyond the rear or sides of themotorcycle may lead to loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

Even if small objects are correctly loadedonto the rear seat, the maximum speed ofthe motorcycle must be reduced to80 mph (130 km/h).

Engine Oil

In order for the engine, transmission, andclutch to function correctly, maintain theengine oil at the correct level, and change theoil and oil filter in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.

Oil Level Inspection

1. Filler2. Sight glass3. Oil level (correct level shown)4. Crankcase oil level lines

WarningMotorcycle operation with insufficient,deteriorated, or contaminated engine oilwill cause accelerated engine wear andmay result in engine or transmissionseizure. Seizure of the engine ortransmission may lead to sudden loss ofcontrol and an accident.

cbnz

WarningNever start the engine or run the engine ina confined area. Exhaust fumes arepoisonous and can cause loss ofconsciousness and death within a shortperiod of time. Always operate yourmotorcycle in the open-air or in an areawith adequate ventilation.

CautionRunning the engine with insufficient oil willcause engine damage. If the low oilpressure indicator remains on, stop theengine immediately and investigate thecause.

Start the engine and run at idle forapproximately five minutes.

Stop the engine, then wait for at least threeminutes for the oil to settle.

Note the oil level visible in the sight glass.

When correct, oil should be visible in thesight-glass at a point mid-way between theupper (maximum) and lower (minimum)horizontal lines marked on the crankcase.

Note:

• An accurate indication of the levelof oil in the engine is only shownwhen the engine is at normaloperating temperature and themotorcycle is upright (not on theside stand).

If it is necessary to top up the oil level,remove the filler plug and add oil, a little at atime, until the level registered in the sightglass is correct.

Once the correct level is reached, fit andtighten the filler plug.

Oil and Oil Filter Change

1. Oil drain plug2. Oil filter

The engine oil and filter must be replaced inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Warm up the engine thoroughly, and thenstop the engine and secure the motorcycle inan upright position on level ground.

Place an oil drain pan beneath the engine.

Remove the oil drain plug.

WarningProlonged or repeated contact with engineoil can lead to skin dryness, irritation anddermatitis. In addition, used engine oilcontains harmful contamination that canlead to skin cancer. Always wear suitableprotective clothing and avoid skin contactwith used oil.

Unscrew and remove the oil filter usingTriumph service tool T3880313. Dispose ofthe old filter in an environmentally friendlyway.

Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil to thesealing ring of the new oil filter. Fit the oilfilter and tighten to 10 Nm.

After the oil has completely drained out, fit anew sealing washer to the drain plug. Fit andtighten the plug to 25 Nm.

Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oilthat meets specification API SH (or higher)and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic).

Start the engine and allow it to idle for aminimum of 30 seconds.

Ensure that the low oil pressure warning lightextinguishes shortly after starting.

Stop the engine and re-check the oil level.Adjust if necessary.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil FiltersTo protect the environment, do not pour oilon the ground, down sewers or drains, orinto watercourses. Do not place used oil filtersin with general waste. If in doubt, contactyour local authority.

Oil Specification and GradeTriumph high performance fuel injectedengines are designed to use 10W/40 or10W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycleengine oil that meets specification API SH (orhigher) and JASO MA, such as CastrolPower 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic).

Do not add any chemical additives to theengine oil. The engine oil also lubricates theclutch and any additives could cause theclutch to slip.

Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergentoil, castor based oils or any oil notconforming to the required specification. Theuse of these oils may cause instant, severeengine damage.

WarningThe oil may be hot to the touch. Avoidcontact with the hot oil by wearing suitableprotective clothing, gloves, eye protection,etc. Contact with hot oil may cause the skinto be scalded or burned.

CautionRaising the engine speed above idle beforethe oil reaches all parts of the engine cancause engine damage or seizure. Onlyraise engine speed after running theengine for 30 seconds to allow the oil tocirculate fully.

CautionIf the engine oil pressure is too low, the lowoil pressure warning light will illuminate. Ifthis light stays on when the engine isrunning, stop the engine immediately andinvestigate the cause. Running the enginewith low oil pressure will cause enginedamage.

Cooling System

To ensure efficientengine cooling, checkthe coolant level eachday before riding themotorcycle, and top upthe coolant if the levelis low.

Note:

• A year-round, Hybrid Organic AcidTechnology (known as Hybrid OATor HOAT) coolant is installed in thecooling system when themotorcycle leaves the factory. It iscoloured green, contains a 50%solution of ethylene glycol basedantifreeze, and has a freezingpoint of -35°C (-31°F).

Corrosion InhibitorsTo protect the cooling system from corrosion,the use of corrosion inhibitor chemicals in thecoolant is essential.

If coolant containing a corrosion inhibitor isnot used, the cooling system will accumulaterust and scale in the water jacket and radiator.This will block the coolant passages, andconsiderably reduce the efficiency of thecooling system.

Note:

• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, assupplied by Triumph, is pre-mixedand does not need to be dilutedprior to filling or topping up thecooling system.

cbob

WarningHD4X Hybrid OAT coolant containscorrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze suitablefor aluminium engines and radiators.Always use the coolant in accordance withthe instructions of the manufacturer.

Coolant that contains anti-freeze andcorrosion inhibitors contains toxicchemicals that are harmful to the humanbody. Never swallow anti-freeze or any ofthe motorcycle coolant.

Coolant Level Inspection

Note:

• The coolant level should bechecked when the engine is cold(at room or ambient temperature).

1. Expansion tank2. MAX mark3. MIN mark

Position the motorcycle on level ground andin an upright position. The expansion tankcan be viewed from the right hand of themotorcycle, below and towards the front ofthe fuel tank.

Check the coolant level in the expansiontank. The coolant level must be between theMAX and MIN marks. If the coolant is belowthe minimum level, the coolant level must beadjusted.

Coolant Level Adjustment

1. Expansion tank (fuel tank shown removed for clarity)

2. Expansion tank cap

Allow the engine to cool.

The expansion tank cap can be removedfrom the right hand side of the motorcycle,between the front of the fuel tank and theframe.

Remove the cap from the expansion tankand add coolant mixture through the filleropening until the level reaches the MAXmark. Refit the cap.

Note:

• If the coolant level is beingchecked because the coolant hasoverheated, also check the level inthe radiator and top up ifnecessary.

• In an emergency, distilled watercan be added to the coolingsystem. However, the coolantmust then be drained andreplenished with HD4XHybrid OAT coolant as soon aspossible.

Coolant ChangeHave the coolant changed by an authorisedTriumph dealer in accordance with scheduledmaintenance requirements.

Radiator and HosesCheck the radiator hoses for cracks ordeterioration, and hose clips for tightness inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements. Have your authorised Triumphdealer replace any defective items.

Check the radiator grille and fins forobstructions by insects, leaves or mud. Cleanoff any obstructions with a stream of low-pressure water.

CautionIf hard water is used in the cooling system,it will cause scale accumulation in theengine and radiator and considerablyreduce the efficiency of the cooling system.Reduced cooling system efficiency maycause the engine to overheat and suffersevere damage.

WarningThe fan operates automatically when theengine is running. Always keep hands andclothing away from the fan as contact withthe rotating fan can cause injury.

CautionUsing high-pressure water sprays, such asfrom a car wash facility or householdpressure washer, can damage the radiatorfins, cause leaks and impair the radiator'sefficiency.

Do not obstruct or deflect airflow throughthe radiator by installing unauthorisedaccessories, either in front of the radiator orbehind the cooling fan. Interference withthe radiator airflow can cause overheating,potentially resulting in engine damage.

Chain LubricationLubrication is necessary every 200 miles(300 kms) and also after riding in wetweather, on wet roads, or any time that thechain appears dry.

Use the special chain lubricant asrecommended in the Specification section.

Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollers thenallow the motorcycle to stand unused for atleast 8 hours (overnight is ideal). This willallow the oil to penetrate to the chain O-ringsetc.

Before riding, wipe off any excess oil.

If the chain is especially dirty, clean first andthen apply oil as mentioned above.

Chain Free-Movement Inspection

1. Maximum movement position

Place the motorcycle on a level surface andhold it in an upright position with no weighton it.

Rotate the rear wheel by pushing themotorcycle to find the position where thechain is tightest, and measure the verticalmovement of the chain midway between thesprockets.

CautionDo not use a pressure wash to clean thechain as this may cause damage to thechain components.

Brake Pad Wear CompensationDisc and brake pad wear is automaticallycompensated for and has no effect on thebrake lever or pedal action. There are noparts that require adjustment on the frontand rear brakes.

Disc Brake FluidInspect the level of brake fluid in bothreservoirs and change the brake fluid inaccordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid asrecommended in the Specification section.The brake fluid must also be changed if itbecomes, or is suspected of having becomecontaminated with moisture or any othercontaminants.

WarningIf the brake lever or pedal feels soft when itis applied, or if the lever/pedal travelbecomes excessive, there may be air in thebrake pipes and hoses or the brakes maybe defective.

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycleunder such conditions and your authorisedTriumph dealer must rectify the faultbefore riding.

Riding with defective brakes may lead toloss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WarningBrake fluid is hygroscopic which means itwill absorb moisture from the air.

Any absorbed moisture will greatly reducethe boiling point of the brake fluid causinga reduction in braking efficiency.

Because of this, always replace brake fluidin accordance with scheduled maintenancerequirements.

Always use new brake fluid from a sealedcontainer and never use fluid from anunsealed container or from one which hasbeen previously opened.

Do not mix different brands or grades ofbrake fluid.

Check for fluid leakage around brakefittings, seals and joints and also check thebrake hoses for splits, deterioration anddamage.

Always rectify any faults before riding.

Failure to observe and act upon any ofthese items may cause a dangerous ridingcondition leading to loss of control and anaccident.

Tyre Inflation PressuresCorrect tyre inflation pressures will providemaximum stability, rider comfort and tyre life.Always check tyre pressures before ridingwhen the tyres are cold. Check tyre pressuresdaily and adjust if necessary (see Specificationsection for correct inflation pressures).Alternatively, ask your authorised Triumphdealer to inspect your wheels and tyres.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (if fitted)The tyre pressures shown on yourinstruments indicate the actual tyre pressureat the time of selecting the display. This maydiffer from the inflation pressure set when thetyres are cold because tyres become warmerduring riding, causing the air in the tyre toexpand and increase the inflation pressure.The cold inflation pressures specified byTriumph take account of this.

Owners must only adjust tyre pressures whenthe tyres are cold using an accurate pressuregauge, and must not use the tyre pressuredisplay on the instruments.

ON TUBE TYPE RIM

FIT A TUBE

WarningIncorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormaltread wear and instability problems whichmay lead to loss of control and an accident.

Under-inflation may result in the tyreslipping on, or coming off the rim.Over-inflation will cause instability andaccelerated tread wear.

Both conditions are dangerous as they maycause loss of control leading to an accident.

WarningTyre pressures which have been reducedfor off-road riding will impair on-roadstability. Always ensure the tyre pressureare set as described in the Specificationsection for on-road use.

Operation of the motorcycle with incorrecttyre pressures may cause loss ofmotorcycle control leading to an accident.

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyrebecomes more susceptible to punctures. It isestimated that 90% of all tyre problems occurduring the last 10% of tread life (90% worn).It is therefore not recommended to use tyresuntil they are worn to their minimum.

Minimum Recommended Tread DepthIn accordance with the periodic maintenancechart, measure the depth of the tread with adepth gauge, and replace any tyre that hasworn to, or beyond, the minimum allowabletread depth specified in the table below:

Under 130 km/h (80 mph)

2 mm (0.08 in)

Over 130 km/h (80 mph)

Rear 3 mm (0.12 in) Front 2 mm (0.08 in)

WarningThis motorcycle must not be operatedabove the legal road speed limit except inauthorised closed-course conditions.

cboa

WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle athigh speed in closed-course on-roadcompetition or on closed-course racetracks.High-speed operation should only then beattempted by riders who have beeninstructed in the techniques necessary forhigh-speed riding and are familiar with themotorcycle's characteristics in allconditions. High-speed operation in anyother circumstances is dangerous and willlead to loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningOperation with excessively worn tyres ishazardous and will adversely affecttraction, stability and handling which maylead to loss of control and an accident.

When tyres become punctured, leakage isoften very slow. Always inspect tyres veryclosely for punctures. Check the tyres forcuts, embedded nails or other sharpobjects. Operation with punctured ordamaged tyres will adversely affect stabilityand handling which may lead to loss ofcontrol or an accident.

Check the rims for dents or deformationand spokes for looseness and damage.Operation with damaged or defectivewheels, spokes or tyres is dangerous andloss of control or an accident could result.

Always consult your authorised Triumphdealer for tyre replacement, or for a safetyinspection of the wheels, spokes and tyres.

101


Tyre Replacement

Note:

• Some brands of approved tyremarked 'TUBELESS' may besuitable for use with an inner tube.Where this is the case, the tyrewall will be marked with textpermitting the fitment of an innertube.

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully andextensively tested in a range of ridingconditions to ensure that the most effectivetyre combinations are approved for use oneach model. It is essential that approved tyresand inner tubes (if installed) fitted inapproved combinations, are used whenpurchasing replacement items. The use ofnon-approved tyres and inner tubes, orapproved tyres and inner tubes in non-approved combinations, may lead tomotorcycle instability, loss of control and anaccident.

On models fitted with ABS, different wheelspeeds, caused by non-approved tyres, canaffect the function of the ABS computer.

See the Specification section for details ofapproved tyre and inner tube combinations.Always have tyres and inner tubes fitted andbalanced by your authorised Triumph dealerwho has the necessary training and skills toensure safe, effective fitment.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System(Only on models fitted with TPMS)

WarningInner tubes must only be used onmotorcycles fitted with spoked wheels andwith tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.

Use of an inner tube with a tyre marked'TUBELESS' and/or on an alloy wheel canlead to loss of motorcycle control and anaccident.

WarningDo not install tube-type tyres on tubelessrims. The bead will not seat and the tyrescould slip on the rims, causing rapid tyredeflation that may result in a loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident. Never install aninner tube inside a tubeless tyre. This willcause friction inside the tyre and theresulting heat build-up may cause the tubeto burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation,loss of vehicle control and an accident.

CautionAn adhesive label is fitted to the wheel rimto indicate the position of the tyre pressuresensor. Care must be taken when replacingthe tyres to prevent any damage to the tyrepressure sensors. Always have your tyresfitted by your authorised Triumph dealerand inform them that tyre pressure sensorsare fitted to the wheels.

102


WarningIf a tyre or inner tube sustains a puncture,the tyre and inner tube must be replaced.Failure to replace a punctured tyre andinner tube, or operation with a repairedtyre or inner tube can lead to instability,loss of motorcycle control or an accident.

WarningIf tyre or inner tube damage is suspected,such as after striking the kerb, ask yourauthorised Triumph dealer to inspect thetyre both internally and externally and toalso inspect the inner tube. Remember,tyre damage may not always be visiblefrom the outside. Operation of themotorcycle with damaged tyres could leadto loss of control and an accident.

WarningWhen replacement tyres or inner tubes arerequired, consult your authorised Triumphdealer who will arrange for the tyres andinner tubes to be selected, in a correctcombination, from the approved list andfitted according to the tyre and inner tubemanufacturer's instructions.

When tyres and inner tubes are replaced,allow time for the tyres and inner tubes toseat to the rim (approximately 24 hours).During this seating period, ride cautiouslyas an incorrectly seated tyre or inner tubecould cause instability, loss of motorcyclecontrol and an accident.

Initially, the new tyres and inner tubes willnot produce the same handlingcharacteristics as the worn tyres and innertubes and the rider must allow adequateriding distance (approximately 100 miles)to become accustomed to the newhandling characteristics.

24 hours after fitting, the tyre pressuresmust be checked and adjusted, and thetyres and inner tubes examined for correctseating. Rectification must be carried out asnecessary.

The same checks and adjustments mustalso be carried out when 100 miles havebeen travelled after fitting.

Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seatedtyres or inner tubes, incorrectly adjustedtyre pressures, or when not accustomed toits handling characteristics may lead to lossof motorcycle control and an accident.

103


BatteryWarning

Tyres and inner tubes that have been usedon a rolling road dynamometer maybecome damaged. In some cases, thedamage may not be visible on the externalsurface of the tyre.

Tyres and inner tubes must be replacedafter such use as continued use of adamaged tyre or inner tube may lead toinstability, loss of motorcycle control andan accident.

WarningAccurate wheel balance is necessary forsafe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Donot remove or change any wheel balanceweights. Incorrect wheel balance maycause instability leading to loss of controland an accident.

When wheel balancing is required, such asafter tyre or inner tube replacement, seeyour authorised Triumph dealer.

Under normal conditions, the motorcyclecharging system will keep the battery fullycharged. However, if the motorcycle isunused, the battery will gradually dischargedue to a normal process called self discharge;the clock, engine control module (ECM)memory, high ambient temperatures, or theaddition of electrical security systems or otherelectrical accessories will all increase this rateof battery discharge. Disconnecting thebattery from the motorcycle during storagewill reduce the rate of discharge.

Battery Maintenance During Storage and Infrequent Use of the MotorcycleDuring storage or infrequent use of themotorcycle, inspect the battery Voltageweekly using a digital multimeter. Follow themanufacturer's instructions supplied with themeter.

Should the battery Voltage fall below12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged(see page 105).

Allowing a battery to discharge or leaving itdischarged for even a short period of timecauses sulphation of the lead plates.Sulphation is a normal part of the chemicalreaction inside the battery, however over timethe sulphate can crystallise on the platesmaking recovery difficult or impossible. Thispermanent damage is not covered by themotorcycle warranty, as it is not due to amanufacturing defect.

Keeping the battery fully charged reduces thelikelihood of it freezing in cold conditions.Allowing a battery to freeze will cause seriousinternal damage to the battery.

Battery ChargingFor help with selecting a battery charger,checking the battery Voltage or batterycharging, contact your local authorisedTriumph dealer.

WarningThe battery gives off explosive gases; keepsparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provideadequate ventilation when charging orusing the battery in an enclosed space.

The battery contains sulphuric acid (batteryacid). Contact with skin or eyes may causesevere burns. Wear protective clothing anda face shield.

If battery acid gets on your skin, flush withwater immediately.

If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush withwater for at least 15 minutes and SEEKMEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

If battery acid is swallowed, drink largequantities of water and SEEK MEDICALATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THEREACH OF CHILDREN.

106


Should the battery Voltage fall below12.7 Volts, the battery should be chargedusing a Triumph approved battery charger.Always follow the instructions supplied withthe battery charger.

CleaningFrequent, regular cleaning is an essential partof the maintenance of your motorcycle. Ifregularly cleaned, the appearance will bepreserved for many years. Cleaning with coldwater containing an automotive cleaner isessential at all times but particularly so afterexposure to sea breezes, sea water, dusty ormuddy roads and in winter when roads aretreated for ice and snow. Do not usehousehold detergent, as the use of suchproducts will lead to premature corrosion.

Although, under the terms of yourmotorcycle warranty, cover is providedagainst the corrosion of certain items, theowner is expected to observe this reasonableadvice which will safeguard against corrosionand enhance the appearance of themotorcycle.

Preparation for WashingBefore washing, precautions must be takento keep water off the following places.

Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover with aplastic bag secured with rubber bands.

Clutch and brake levers, switch housings onthe handlebar: Cover with plastic bags.

Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover thekeyhole with tape.

Remove any items of jewellery such as rings,watches, zips or belt buckles, which mayscratch or otherwise damage painted orpolished surfaces.

Use separate cleaning sponges or cleaningcloths for washing painted/polished surfacesand chassis areas. Chassis areas (such aswheels and under mudguards) will beexposed to more abrasive road grime anddust, which may then scratch painted orpolished surfaces, if the same sponge orcleaning cloths are used.

113


Where to be CarefulAvoid spraying water with any great forcenear the following places:

• Instruments;

• Brake cylinders and brake calipers;

• Under the fuel tank;

• Headstock bearings;

• Air intake duct under the rider’s seat.

Note:

• Use of soaps that are highlyalkaline will leave a residue onpainted surfaces, and may alsocause water spotting. Always use alow alkaline soap to aid thecleaning process.

After WashingRemove the plastic bags and tape, and clearthe air intakes.

Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.

Test the brakes before motorcycle operation.

Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes.Ensure adequate ventilation for the exhaustfumes.

Use a dry cloth to absorb water residue. Donot allow water to stand on the machine asthis will lead to corrosion.

Seat Care

To help maintain its appearance, clean theseat using a sponge or cleaning cloth withsoap and water.

CautionAny water sprayed around the air intakeduct could enter the airbox and engine,causing damage to both items.

CautionUse of high-pressure spray washers is notrecommended. When using pressurewashers, water may be forced intobearings and other components causingpremature wear from corrosion and loss oflubrication.

WarningNever wax or lubricate the brake discs.Loss of braking power and an accidentcould result. Clean the disc with aproprietary brand of oil-free brake disccleaner.

CautionUse of chemicals or high-pressure spraywashers is not recommended for cleaningthe seat. Using chemicals or pressurewashers may damage the seat cover.

114


Unpainted Aluminium ItemsItems such as brake and clutch levers, wheels,engine covers, top and bottom yokes onsome models must be correctly cleaned topreserve their appearance. Please contactyour dealer if you are unsure whichcomponents on your motorcycle areunpainted aluminium parts.

Use a proprietary brand of aluminiumcleaner which does not contain abrasive orcaustic elements.

Clean aluminium items regularly, in particularafter use in inclement weather, where thecomponents must be hand washed and driedeach time the machine is used.

Warranty claims due to inadequatemaintenance will not be allowed.

Cleaning of the Exhaust SystemAll parts of the exhaust system of yourmotorcycle must be cleaned regularly toavoid a deterioration of its appearance.

Note:

• The exhaust system must be coolbefore washing to prevent waterspotting.

WashingPrepare a mixture of cold water and mildautomotive cleaner. Do not use a highlyalkaline soap as commonly found atcommercial car washes because it leaves aresidue.

Wash the exhaust system with a soft cloth. Donot use an abrasive scouring pad or steelwool. They will damage the finish.

Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.

Ensure no soap or water enters the mufflers.

DryingDry the exhaust system as far as possible witha soft cloth. Do not run the engine to dry thesystem or spotting will occur.

ProtectingWhen the exhaust system is dry, rub'Motorex 645 Clean and Protect' into thesurface.

It is recommended that regular protection beapplied to the system as this will both protectand enhance the system's appearance.

CautionThe use of abrasive cleaners and polisheswill damage the system and must not beused.
