Foreword - Safety First

FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle

Warning

All Explorer models are designed for

on-road use and light off-road use.

Light off-road use includes use on

unpaved, dirt or gravel roads, but does

not include riding on any motocross

course, any off-road competition (such

as motocross or enduro riding), or

riding off-road with a passenger.

Light off-road use does not include

jumping the motorcycle or riding over

obstacles. Do not attempt to jump

over any bumps or obstacles. Do not

attempt to ride over any obstacles.

Extreme off-road use could lead to

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

Explorer XRX-LRH and

Explorer XCX-LRH (Low Ride Height)

Models

The Explorer XRX-LRH and

Explorer XCX-LRH (Low Ride Height)

motorcycles are equipped with

lowered suspension and have reduced

ground clearance.

As a result, the cornering bank angles

that can be achieved by the

Explorer XRX-LRH and Explorer XCX-LRH

are reduced, when compared with the

standard ride height Explorer XRX and

Explorer XCX models.

When riding, bear in mind that your

motorcycle’s ground clearance is

limited. Operate your motorcycle in an

area free from traffic to gain

familiarity with the motorcycle’s

ground clearance and bank angle

limitations.

Banking to an unsafe angle or

unexpected contact with the ground

may cause instability, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow

a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar.

Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer may

result in loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Foreword - Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as

a two-wheeled vehicle capable of

carrying a rider on his/her own, or a

rider and one passenger.

The total weight of the rider, and any

passenger, accessories and luggage

must not exceed the maximum load

limit of:

Explorer XR - 238 kg (525 lb)

Explorer XRX - 236 kg (520 lb)

Explorer XRX-LRH - 238 kg (525 lb)

Explorer XRT - 227 kg (500 lb)

Explorer XC - 236 kg (520 lb)

Explorer XCX - 228 kg (503 lb)

Explorer XCX-LRH - 231 kg (509 lb)

Explorer XCA - 224 kg (494 lb).

Warning

This motorcycle is fitted with a

catalytic converter below the engine,

which along with the exhaust system

reaches very high temperature during

engine operation. Flammable materials

such as grass, hay/straw, leaves,

clothing and luggage etc. could ignite

if allowed to come into contact with

any part of the exhaust system and

catalytic converter; always ensure

flammable materials are not allowed to

contact the exhaust system or

catalytic converter.

Warning

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when

refuelling.

Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap

while smoking or in the vicinity of any

open (naked) flame.

Take care not to spill any petrol on the

engine, exhaust pipes or silencers

when refuelling.

If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or

allowed to get into the eyes, seek

immediate medical attention.

Spillage on the skin should be

immediately washed off with soap and

water and clothing contaminated with

petrol should immediately be removed.

Burns and other serious skin

conditions may result from contact

with petrol.

Warning

Never start your engine or let it run

for any length of time in a closed area.

The exhaust fumes are poisonous and

may cause loss of consciousness and

death within a short time. Always

operate your motorcycle in the open-

air or in an area with adequate

ventilation.

Foreword - Safety First

Helmet and Clothing Riding

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider

and passenger must always wear a

motorcycle helmet, boots, eye

protection, gloves, boots, trousers

(close fitting around the knee and

ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket.

Brightly coloured clothing will

considerably increase a rider's (or

passenger's) visibility to other

operators of road vehicles. Although

full protection is not possible, wearing

correct protective clothing can reduce

the risk of injury when riding.

Warning

A helmet is one of the most important

pieces of riding gear as it offers

protection against head injuries. You

and your passenger's helmet should

be carefully chosen and should fit you

or your passenger's head comfortably

and securely. A brightly coloured

helmet will increase a rider's (or

passenger's) visibility to other

operators of road vehicles.

An open face helmet offers some

protection in an accident though a full

face helmet will offer more.

Always wear a visor or approved

goggles to help vision and to protect

your eyes.

cbma

Warning

Never ride the motorcycle when

fatigued or under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

Riding when under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs is illegal.

Riding when fatigued or under the

influence of alcohol or other drugs

reduces the rider's ability to maintain

control of motorcycle and may lead to

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

All riders must be licenced to operate

the motorcycle. Operation of the

motorcycle without a licence is illegal

and could lead to prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without

formal training in the correct riding

techniques that are necessary to

become licenced is dangerous and

may lead to loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Warning

Always ride defensively and wear the

protective equipment mentioned

elsewhere in this foreword. Remember,

in an accident, a motorcycle does not

give the same impact protection as a

car.

Foreword - Safety First

Handlebars and Footrests

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be

operated within the legal speed limits

for the particular road travelled.

Operating a motorcycle at high speeds

can be potentially dangerous since the

time available to react to given traffic

situations is greatly reduced as road

speed increases. Always reduce speed

in potentially hazardous driving

conditions such as bad weather or

heavy traffic.

Warning

Continually observe and react to

changes in road surface, traffic and

wind conditions. All two-wheeled

vehicles are subject to external forces

which may cause an accident. These

forces include but are not limited to:

• Wind draft from passing vehicles

• Potholes, uneven or damaged road

surfaces

•Bad weather

• Rider error.

Always operate the motorcycle at

moderate speed and away from heavy

traffic until you have become

thoroughly familiar with its handling

and operating characteristics. Never

exceed the legal speed limit.

Warning

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause

instability, loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Warning

The rider must maintain control of the

vehicle by keeping hands on the

handlebars at all times.

The handling and stability of a

motorcycle will be adversely affected if

the rider removes his hands from the

handlebars, resulting in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

The rider and passenger must always

use the footrests provided, during

operation of the vehicle.

By using the footrests, both rider and

passenger will reduce the risk of

inadvertent contact with any

motorcycle components and will also

reduce the risk of injury from

entrapment of clothing.

Foreword - Safety First

Parking Parts and Accessories

Triumph does not accept any liability

whatsoever for defects caused by the

fitting of non-approved parts,

accessories or conversions or the fitting

of any approved parts, accessories or

conversions by non-approved personnel.

Warning

Always turn off the engine and

remove the ignition key before leaving

the motorcycle unattended. By

removing the key, the risk of use of

the motorcycle by unauthorised or

untrained persons is reduced.

When parking the motorcycle, always

remember the following:

Engage first gear to help prevent the

motorcycle from rolling off the stand.

The engine and exhaust system will be

hot after riding. DO NOT park where

pedestrians, animals and/or children

are likely to touch the motorcycle.

Do not park on soft ground or on a

steeply inclined surface. Parking

under these conditions may cause the

motorcycle to fall over.

For further details, please refer to the

How to Ride the Motorcycle section of

this Owner's Handbook.

Warning

Owners should be aware that the only

approved parts, accessories and

conversions for any Triumph

motorcycle are those which carry

official Triumph approval and are fitted

to the motorcycle by an authorised

dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous

to fit or replace parts or accessories

whose fitting requires the dismantling

of, or addition to, either the electrical

or fuel systems and any such

modification could cause a safety

hazard.

The fitting of any non-approved parts,

accessories or conversions may

adversely affect the handling, stability

or other aspects of the motorcycle’s

operation that may result in an

accident causing injury or death.

Foreword - Safety First

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Consult your authorised Triumph

dealer whenever there is doubt as to

the correct or safe operation of this

Triumph motorcycle.

Remember that continued operation of

an incorrectly performing motorcycle

may aggravate a fault and may also

compromise safety.

Warning

Ensure all equipment that is required

by law is installed and functioning

correctly. The removal or alteration of

the motorcycle's lights, silencers,

emission or noise control systems can

violate the law. Incorrect or improper

modification may adversely affect the

handling, stability or other aspects of

the motorcycle’s operation, which may

result in loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Warning

If the motorcycle is involved in an

accident, collision or fall, it must be

taken to an authorised Triumph dealer

for inspection and repair. Any accident

can cause damage to the motorcycle

that, if not correctly repaired, may

cause a second accident.

General Information

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)

Warning Light

When the ignition switch is

turned to the ON position, it is

normal that the ABS warning

light will flash on and off. The

light will continue to flash after engine

start-up until the motorcycle first

reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph

(10 km/h) when it will go off.

The warning light should not illuminate

again until the engine is restarted

unless there is a fault, or:

• ABS is disabled by the rider - the

warning light will remain illuminated

(see Bike Setup on page 50 or Riding

Mode Configuration on page 62).

• ABS is set to Off-Road – the warning

light will flash slowly (see Riding

Mode Configuration on page 62).

Note:

• Traction control, optimised cornering

traction control (if equipped) and

cruise control (if equipped) may not

function if there is a malfunction

with the ABS system. In this

situation, the warning lights for the

ABS, traction control and the MIL

may be illuminated.

If the warning light becomes illuminated

at any other time while riding it indicates

that the ABS has a malfunction that

requires investigation. One of the

following warning messages may be

displayed:

• WARNING - ABS SYSTEM DISABLED

• ABS SYSTEM - CORNERING ABS

DISABLED (models equipped with

optimised cornering ABS only).

The braking system will be affected as

follows:

WARNING - ABS SYSTEM DISABLED

1. ABS warning light

2. Instrument message

The message WARNING - ABS SYSTEM

DISABLED indicates that the ABS (and

optimised cornering ABS if equipped) is

not functioning.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning or has

been disabled by the rider (see Bike

Setup on page 50 or Riding Mode

Configuration on page 62), the brake

system will continue to function as a

non-ABS braking system.

Do not continue to ride for longer

than is necessary with the warning

light illuminated. In the event of a

fault, contact an authorised Triumph

dealer as soon as possible to have the

fault checked and rectified.

In this situation, braking too hard will

cause the wheels to lock resulting in

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

indicator light and/or the ABS warning

light.

Do not continue to ride for longer

than is necessary with any of the

above warning lights illuminated.

Contact an authorised Triumph dealer

as soon as possible to have the fault

checked and rectified.

Hard acceleration and cornering in

this situation may cause the rear

wheel to spin resulting in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

General Information

Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light

The TC indicator light is used

to indicate that the TC system

is active and is working to limit

rear wheel slip during periods

of hard acceleration or under wet or

slippery road conditions.

TC Indicator Light Operation:

TC Switched On (Rain, Road or Sport

Settings):

• Under normal riding conditions the

indicator light will remain off.

• The indicator light will flash rapidly

when the TC system is working to

limit rear wheel slip during periods of

hard acceleration or under wet or

slippery road conditions.

TC Switched On (Off-Road Setting -

if equipped):

• Under normal riding conditions, the

indicator light will flash slowly to

indicate that the TC system is set to

Off-Road.

• The TC indicator light will flash

rapidly when the TC system is

working to limit rear wheel slip

during periods of hard acceleration

or under wet or slippery conditions.

TC Switched Off:

The indicator light will not illuminate.

Instead the TC disabled warning light will

be illuminated (see page 28).

Note:

• TC and optimised cornering TC (if

equipped) may not function if there

is a malfunction with the ABS

system. In this situation, the

warning lights for the ABS, TC and

the MIL may be illuminated.

1. Traction control indicator light

General Information

Engine Management System

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) illuminates when

the ignition is switched on to

indicate that the engine

management system is working, but

should go off when the engine is started.

The MIL should not illuminate when the

engine is running.

If the MIL becomes illuminated when the

engine is running, this indicates that a

fault has occurred in one or more of the

systems controlled by the engine

management system. In such

circumstances, the engine management

system will switch to limp-home mode so

that the journey may be completed, if

the fault is not so severe that the engine

will not run.

Note:

• If the MIL flashes when the ignition

is switched on, contact an

authorised Triumph dealer as soon

as possible to have the situation

rectified. In these circumstances the

engine will not start.

High Coolant Temperature Warning

Light

With the engine running, if the

engine coolant temperature

becomes dangerously high,

the high coolant temperature

warning light in the tachometer will

illuminate.

Warning

Reduce speed and do not continue to

ride for longer than is necessary with

the MIL illuminated. The fault may

adversely affect engine performance,

exhaust emissions and fuel

consumption. Reduced engine

performance could cause a dangerous

riding condition, leading to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Contact an authorised Triumph dealer

as soon as possible to have the fault

checked and rectified.

Caution

Stop the engine immediately if the

high coolant temperature warning

light illuminates. Do not restart the

engine until the fault has been

rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from

running the engine when the high

coolant temperature warning light is

illuminated.

General Information

Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

With the engine running, if the

engine oil pressure becomes

dangerously low, the low oil

pressure warning light in the

tachometer will illuminate and WARNING

- OIL PRESSURE LOW will be displayed in

the multifunction display screen.

1. Low oil pressure warning light

2. Instrument message

The low oil pressure warning light in the

tachometer will illuminate if the ignition

is switched on without running the

engine.

General Information

Riding Mode Selection

Warning

The selection of riding modes whilst

the motorcycle is in motion requires

the rider to allow the motorcycle to

coast (motorcycle moving, engine

running, throttle closed, clutch lever

pulled in and no brakes applied) for a

brief period of time.

Riding mode selection whilst the

motorcycle is in motion should only be

attempted:

•At low speed

• In traffic-free areas

• On straight and level roads or

surfaces

• In good road and weather

conditions

• Where it is safe to allow the

motorcycle to briefly coast.

Riding mode selection whilst the

motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be

attempted:

• At high speeds

• Whilst riding in traffic

• During cornering or on winding

roads or surfaces

• On steeply inclined roads or

surfaces

• In poor road/weather conditions

• Where it is unsafe to allow the

motorcycle to coast.

Failure to observe this important

warning may lead to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If ABS and/or TC has been disabled

using the Bike Setup Menu as

described on pages 51 and 52, the ABS

and/or TC settings saved for all riding

modes will be overridden.

ABS and/or TC will remain OFF

regardless of your riding mode

selection, until they have been

re-enabled or, the ignition has been

switch OFF then ON again.

If the ABS is disabled, the brake

system will function as a non-ABS

braking system. In this situation

braking too hard will cause the wheels

to lock, and may result in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

If the traction control is disabled, the

motorcycle will handle as normal but

without traction control. In this

situation accelerating too hard on

wet/slippery road surfaces may cause

the rear wheel to slip, and may result

in loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

After selecting a riding mode, operate

the motorcycle in an area free from

traffic to gain familiarity with the new

settings. Do not loan your motorcycle

to anyone as they may change the

riding mode settings from those you

are familiar with, causing loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

General Information

ABS Option Descriptions •Road - Optimal ABS setting for road

use.

•Off-Road - Optimal ABS setting for

off-road use as follows:

Front Brake Lever Operation

If the front brake lever is operated

only, the partially integrated braking

system will also apply a small

amount of rear brake as described in

Braking on page 115.

In this situation, the level of ABS

intervention is optimised for off-road

riding for both front and rear

wheels.

Rear Brake Pedal Operation

If the rear brake pedal is operated at

any point, all rear braking input will

be controlled directly by the rear

brake pedal.

Operating the rear brake pedal will

override any rear braking input

applied by the partially integrated

braking system, through use of the

front brake lever.

In this situation, the level of ABS

intervention is optimised for off-road

riding for the front wheel, but the

rear wheel will be allowed to lock

under heavy braking.

Use of the rear brake pedal alone will

only apply the rear brake and the

rear wheel will be allowed to lock

under heavy braking.

Optimised cornering ABS is disabled

for the Off-Road ABS setting.

The ABS warning light will flash

slowly (see page 25).

•Off - ABS is turned off. The ABS

warning light will be illuminated (see

page 25).

Warning

The Off-Road ABS option is NOT

intended for use with normal, on-road

riding.

In the Off-Road ABS setting, optimised

cornering ABS is disabled and the level

of ABS intervention is adapted for

off-road riding.

Use of the rear brake pedal in this

situation can cause the rear wheel to

lock under heavy braking.

Riding on-road with the ABS set to

Off-Road can lead to instability when

braking which may result in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If the ABS is disabled, the brake

system will function as a non-ABS

braking system. In this situation

braking too hard will cause the wheels

to lock, and may result in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

General Information

MAP Option Descriptions

•Rain - Reduced throttle response

when compared to the Road setting,

for wet or slippery conditions.

•Road - Standard throttle response.

•Sport - Increased throttle response

when compared to the Road setting.

•Off-Road - Optimal throttle response

setting for off-road use.

TC Option Descriptions

•Rain - Optimal TC setting for wet or

slippery conditions. Allows reduced

rear wheel slip when compared with

the Road setting.

•Road - Optimal TC setting for road

use, allows a small amount of rear

wheel slip.

•Sport - Allows increased rear wheel

slip when compared with the Road

setting.

•Off-Road - TC is set up for off-road

use, allowing increased rear wheel

slip when compared to the Rain,

Road and Sport settings. The TC

indicator light will flash slowly (see

page 30).

•Off - TC is turned off. The TC

disabled warning light will be

illuminated (see page 28).

TSAS Option Descriptions (if fitted and

TSAS riding modes link enabled; see Bike

Setup on page 50)

•Auto - The TSAS system will

automatically detect the type of

surface being ridden (on-road or

off-road) and will adjust rebound

and compression damping settings

accordingly.

•Off-Road - Optimal TSAS setting for

off-road use.

Warning

The Off-Road TC option is not

intended for normal, on-road riding.

Riding on-road with TC set to

Off-Road can produce instability

under acceleration due to the

increased amount of rear wheel slip

allowed.

Instability caused by rear wheel slip

may lead to loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Warning

If the traction control is disabled, the

motorcycle will handle as normal but

without traction control. In this

situation accelerating too hard on

wet/slippery road surfaces may cause

the rear wheel to slip, and may result

in loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Throttle Control

1. Throttle open position

2. Throttle closed position

3. Cruise control cancel position

This Triumph model has an electronic

throttle twist grip to open and close the

throttle via the engine control unit.

There are no direct-acting cables in the

system.

The throttle grip has a resistive feel to it

as it is rolled rearwards to open the

throttle. When the grip is released it will

return to the throttle closed position by

its internal return spring and the

throttle will close.

From the closed position, the throttle

twist grip can be rolled forward 3 - 4 mm

to deactivate the cruise control (see

page 79).

There are no user adjustments for the

throttle control.

If there is a malfunction with the throttle

control the malfunction indicator light

(MIL) becomes illuminated and one of the

following engine conditions may occur:

• MIL illuminated, restricted engine

RPM and throttle movement

• MIL illuminated, limp-home mode

with the engine at a fast idle

condition only

• MIL illuminated, engine will not start.

For all of the above conditions contact

an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as

possible to have the fault checked and

rectified.

Brake Use

At low throttle opening (approximately

20°), the brakes and throttle can be used

together.

At high throttle opening (greater than

20°), if the brakes are applied for more

than two seconds the throttles will close

and the engine speed will reduce. To

return to normal throttle operation,

release the throttle control, release the

brakes and then re-open the throttle.

Warning

Reduce speed and do not continue to

ride for longer than is necessary with

the malfunction indicator light

illuminated. The fault may adversely

affect engine performance, exhaust

emissions and fuel consumption.

Reduced engine performance could

cause a dangerous riding condition,

leading to loss of motorcycle control

and an accident. Contact an

authorised Triumph dealer as soon as

possible to have the fault checked and

rectified.

Using cruise control in heavy traffic,

on roads with sharp/blind bends or

when they are slippery, may result in

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be

operated within the legal speed limits

for the particular road travelled.

Operating a motorcycle at high speeds

can be potentially dangerous since the

time available to react to given traffic

situations is greatly reduced as speed

increases. Always reduce speed in

consideration of weather and traffic

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

behaviour in all conditions.

High-speed operation in any other

circumstances is dangerous and will

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Triumph Semi Active

Suspension (TSAS) (if fitted)

The Triumph Semi-Active Suspension

System (TSAS) controls adjustment of

the front and rear suspension damping

and automatic rear suspension pre-load

settings.

TSAS allows a convenient remote

adjustment of the TSAS mode and

damping settings through the

instruments, while the motorcycle is

stationary or moving.

TSAS adjustments are made

instantaneously once a new mode or

damping setting has been selected and

the engine is running.

TSAS Modes

There are three TSAS modes available

for selection:

• Auto - The TSAS system will

automatically detect the type of

surface being ridden on (road or

off-road) and will adjust rebound

and compression damping settings

accordingly.

• Off-Road - Optimal TSAS settings for

off-road use.

TSAS Damping Settings

There are a total of nine damping

settings available for selection ranging

from COMFORT (soft) to SPORT (firm)

with the three main settings being:

•COMFORT

•NORMAL

•SPORT.

To access the TSAS settings, see:

General Information

Traction Control (TC)

All Explorer motorcycles are equipped

with Traction Control (TC).

TC is a system that helps to maintain

traction when accelerating on

wet/slippery road surfaces. If sensors

detect that the rear wheel is losing

traction (slipping), the TC system will

engage and alter the engine power until

traction to the rear wheel has been

restored.

The TC indicator light will flash while it is

engaged and the rider may notice a

change to the sound of the engine.

See page 30 for full details of the TC

indicator light operation.

Optimised Cornering TC

The following Explorer models are

equipped with optimised cornering TC:

•ExplorerXR

•ExplorerXRX-LRH

•ExplorerXR

•ExplorerXCX

•ExplorerXCX-LRH

•ExplorerXC

Optimised cornering traction control is a

system designed to give the rider

increased control should the traction

control be activated whilst the

motorcycle is leaning in a corner.

The system constantly monitors the

lean angle of the motorcycle and adapts

the level of traction control intervention

in a manor most suitable to maintain

rear wheel traction during cornering.

Note:

• TC and optimised TC control (if

equipped) may not function if there

is a malfunction with the ABS

system. In this situation, the

warning lights for the ABS, TC and

the MIL may be illuminated.

Warning

The traction control and optimised

cornering traction control systems are

not a substitute for riding

appropriately for the prevailing

surface and weather conditions. The

systems cannot prevent loss of

traction due to:

• excessive speed when entering

turns

• accelerating at a sharp lean angle

•braking.

Traction control or optimised

cornering traction control cannot

prevent the front wheel from slipping.

Failure to observe any of the above

may result in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

General Information

See page 28 for full details of the TC

disabled warning light operation and its

associated instrument warning messages.

Warning

If the TC system is not functioning,

care must be taken when accelerating

and cornering on wet/slippery road

surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.

In the event of a fault, the TC disabled

warning light may be accompanied by

the engine management system

malfunction indicator light and/or the

ABS warning light.

Do not continue to ride for longer

than is necessary with any of the

above warning lights illuminated.

Contact an authorised Triumph dealer

as soon as possible to have the fault

checked and rectified.

Hard acceleration and cornering in

this situation may cause the rear

wheel to spin resulting in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

If a fault occurs with the optimised

cornering TC system, the TC disabled

warning light will illuminate and the

message TC SYSTEM - CORNERING TC

DISABLED will be displayed in the

multifunction display.

In this situation, the TC system will

continue to operate but without the

optimised cornering function, provided

that:

• There are no other faults with the

TC system.

• TC has NOT been disabled by the

rider (see Bike Setup on page 50 or

Riding Mode Configuration on

page 62).

Care must be taken when accelerating

and cornering on wet/slippery road

surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.

In the event of a fault, the TC disabled

warning light may be accompanied by

the engine management system

General Information

Traction Control Settings

The TC system can be disabled as

described in Bike Setup on page 50, or

set to the conditions described in Riding

Mode Configuration on page 62.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS) (if fitted)

Function

Tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the

front and rear wheels. These sensors

measure the air pressure inside the tyre

and transmit pressure data to the

instruments. The sensors will not

transmit data until the motorcycle

reaches a speed of approximately

12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will be

visible in the system display until the

tyre pressure signal is received.

After bring the motorcycle to a stop, the

sensors continue to transmit data for

approximately seven minutes before

switching off. The tyre pressure values

remain visible in the system display until

the sensors switch off.

An adhesive label will be fitted to the

wheel rim to indicate the position of the

tyre pressure sensor, which is near the

valve.

Warning

If the traction control is disabled, the

motorcycle will handle as normal but

without traction control. In this

situation accelerating too hard on

wet/slippery road surfaces may cause

the rear wheel to slip, and may result

in loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

The daily check of tyre pressures

must not be excluded because of the

fitment of the TPMS. Check the tyre

pressure when the tyres are cold and

using an accurate tyre pressure

gauge (see page 156).

Use of the TPMS system to set

inflation pressures may lead to

incorrect tyre pressures leading to

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

General Information

All Models except Explorer XRT and

Explorer XCA: The tyre pressure

monitoring system (TPMS) is available as

an accessory kit and must be fitted by

your authorised Triumph dealer. The

TPMS display on the instruments will

only be activated when the system has

been fitted.

TPMS Sensor ID Number

An ID number for each tyre pressure

sensor is printed on a label which is on

the sensor. This number may be

required by the dealer for service or

diagnostics.

If the TPMS has been fitted at the

factory, labels identifying the front and

rear TPMS sensor ID numbers will be

affixed to the spaces below.

If the TPMS is being fitted to the

motorcycle as an accessory, ensure that

the dealer records the front and rear

TPMS sensor ID numbers in the spaces

provided below.

Tyre Pressures

The tyre pressures shown on your

instrument panel indicate the actual

tyre pressure at the time of selecting

the display. This may differ from the

inflation pressure set when the tyres

are cold because tyres become warmer

during riding, causing the air in the tyre

to expand and the inflation pressure to

increase. The cold inflation pressures

specified by Triumph take account of

this.

Owners must only adjust tyre pressures

when the tyres are cold using an

accurate tyre pressure gauge (see

page 156), and must not use the tyre

pressure display on the instruments.

wheels (see page 158).

Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel Grade

Your Triumph engine is designed to use

unleaded fuel and will give optimum

performance if the correct grade of fuel

is used. Always use unleaded fuel with

an octane rating of 91 RON or higher.

Warning

Stop the motorcycle if the tyre

pressure warning light illuminates and

the message TPMS - FRONT/REAR

TYRE LOW PRESSURE is displayed. Do

not ride the motorcycle until the tyres

have been checked and the tyre

pressures are at their recommended

pressure when cold.

Caution

The exhaust system is fitted with a

catalytic converter to help reduce

exhaust emission levels. 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 ensure

you have adequate fuel for your

journey.

Caution

The use of leaded fuel is illegal in most

countries, states or territories. Use of

leaded fuel will damage the catalytic

converter.

motorcycle control and an accident.

cisb_4

Warning

The Expedition Aluminium Panniers

are designed to be fitted as a pair.

Never ride the motorcycle with only

one pannier installed. Riding the

motorcycle with one pannier installed

may cause the motorcycle to become

unstable leading to loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

After fitting or removing the panniers,

operate the motorcycle in a safe area

free from traffic to gain familiarity

with the new handling characteristics.

Operation when not familiar with the

new characteristics of the motorcycle

may result in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

General Information

106

Warning

Incorrect loading may result in an

unsafe riding condition leading to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Always ensure any loads carried are

evenly distributed on both sides of the

motorcycle. Ensure that the load is

correctly secured such that it will not

move around while the motorcycle is

in motion.

Evenly distribute the load within each

pannier. Pack heavy items at the

bottom and on the inboard side of the

pannier.

Always check the load security

regularly (though not while the

motorcycle is in motion) and ensure

that the load does not extend beyond

the rear of the motorcycle. Never

exceed the maximum vehicle loading

weight of:

Explorer XR - 238 kg (525 lb)

Explorer XRX - 236 kg (520 lb)

Explorer XRX-LRH - 238 kg (525 lb)

Explorer XRT - 227 kg (500 lb)

Explorer XC - 236 kg (520 lb)

Explorer XCX - 228 kg (503 lb)

Explorer XCX-LRH - 231 kg (509 lb)

Explorer XCA - 224 kg (494 lb).

This maximum loading weight is made

up from the combined weight of the

rider, passenger, any accessories

fitted and any load carried.

Continued

Warning

Continued

For models that have manually

adjustable suspension, ensure that

front and rear spring preload and

damping settings are suitable for the

loading condition of the motorcycle

(see page 152).

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 authorised 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.

General Information

107

Running-In

Running-in is the name given to the

process that occurs during the first

hours of a new vehicle's operation.

In particular, internal friction in the

engine will be higher when components

are new. Later on, when continued

operation of the engine has ensured

that the components have 'bedded in',

this internal friction will be greatly

reduced.

A period of careful running-in will ensure

lower exhaust emissions, and will

optimise performance, fuel economy and

longevity of the engine and other

motorcycle components.

Note:

• The recommended distance for

breaking-in new brake discs and

brake pads is 200 miles (300 km).

During the first 500 miles (800 kilometres):

• Avoid extreme braking, ride with

caution and allow for greater

braking distances during the

running-in period.

• Do not use full throttle.

• Avoid high engine speeds at all

times.

• Avoid riding at one constant engine

speed, whether fast or slow, for a

long period of time.

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops, and

rapid accelerations, except in an

emergency.

• Do not ride at speeds greater than

3/4 of maximum engine speed.

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

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 tyre

pressures.

• Excessively or unevenly worn

tyres.

• Side winds and turbulence from

other vehicles.

•Loose clothing.

Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)

absolute limit will reduce by the fitting

of non-approved accessories,

incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall

motorcycle condition and poor road or

weather conditions.

R.P.M.

cboa

General Information

108

From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to

1,500 kilometres):

• Engine speed can gradually be

increased to the rev limit for short

periods.

Both during and after running-in has

been completed:

• Do not over-rev the engine when

cold.

• Do not let the engine labour. Always

change down before the engine

begins to struggle.

• Do not ride with engine speeds

unnecessarily high. Changing up a

gear helps reduce fuel consumption,

reduces noise and helps to protect

the environment.

Safe Operation

Daily Safety Checks

Check the following items each day

before you ride. The time required is

minimal, and these checks will help

ensure a safe, reliable ride.

If any irregularities are found during

these checks, refer to the Maintenance

and Adjustment section or see your

authorised Triumph dealer for the action

required to return the motorcycle to a

safe operating condition.

Warning

Failure to perform these checks every

day before you ride may result in

serious motorcycle damage or an

accident causing serious injury or

death.

To Stop the Engine

1. Engine stop switch

2. Starter button

3. Neutral indicator light

4. ON position

5. Ignition switch

Close the throttle completely.

Select neutral.

Turn the ignition switch off.

Select first gear.

Support the motorcycle on a firm, level

surface with the side or centre stand.

Lock the steering.

To Start the Engine

Check that the engine stop switch is in

the RUN position.

Ensure the transmission is in neutral.

Turn the ignition switch on.

Note:

• When the ignition is switched on, the

tachometer needle will quickly sweep

from zero to maximum and then

return to zero. The instrument

warning lights will illuminate and will

then go off (except those which

normally remain on until the engine

starts - see Warning Lights on

page 24). It is not necessary to wait

for the needle to return to zero

before starting the engine.

• A transponder is fitted within the key

to turn off the engine immobiliser. To

ensure the immobiliser functions

correctly, always have only one of

the ignition keys near the ignition

switch. Having two ignition keys near

the switch may interrupt the signal

between the transponder and the

engine immobiliser. In this situation

the engine immobiliser will remain

active until one of the ignition keys is

removed.

RES /+

SET /-

Caution

The engine should normally be

stopped by turning the ignition switch

to the OFF position. The engine stop

switch is for emergency use only. Do

not leave the ignition switched on with

the engine stopped. Electrical damage

may result.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

113

Pull the clutch lever fully into the

handlebar.

Leaving the throttle fully closed, push

the starter button until the engine

starts.

• The motorcycle is equipped with

starter lockout switches. The

switches prevent the electric starter

from operating when the

transmission is not in neutral with

the side stand down.

• If the side stand is extended whilst

the engine is running, and the

transmission is not in neutral then

the engine will stop regardless of

clutch position.

Moving Off

Pull in the clutch lever and select first

gear. Open the throttle a little and let

out the clutch lever slowly. As the clutch

starts to engage, open the throttle a

little more, allowing enough engine

speed to avoid stalling.

Warning

Never start the engine or run the

engine in a confined area. Exhaust

fumes are poisonous and can cause

loss of consciousness and death

within a short period of time. Always

operate your motorcycle in the open-

air or in an area with adequate

ventilation.

Caution

Do not operate the starter

continuously for more than 5 seconds

as the starter motor will overheat and

the battery will become discharged.

Wait 15 seconds between each

operation of the starter to allow for

cooling and recovery of battery power.

Do not let the engine idle for long

periods as this may lead to

overheating which will cause damage

to the engine.

Caution

If the low oil pressure warning light

illuminates after starting the engine,

stop the engine immediately and

investigate the cause. Running the

engine with low oil pressure will cause

severe engine damage.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

114

Changing Gears

1. Gear-change pedal

Close the throttle while pulling in

the clutch lever. Change into the

next higher or lower gear. Open

the throttle part way, while

releasing the clutch lever. Always

use the clutch when changing

gear. Note:

• The gear change mechanism is the

positive stop type. This means that,

for each movement of the gear

change pedal, you can only select

each gear, one after the other, in

ascending or descending order.

Warning

With the traction control enabled, it

will limit the amount of front wheel lift

and rear wheel slip.

If the traction control is not

functioning or disabled (see TC

Disable/Enable on page 52 or Riding

Mode Configuration on page 62), avoid

opening the throttle too far or too fast

in any of the lower gears as this can

lead to the front wheel lifting from the

ground (pulling a wheelie) and to the

rear tyre breaking traction (wheel

spin).

Always open the throttle cautiously,

particularly if you are unfamiliar with

the motorcycle, as a wheelie or loss of

traction will cause loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

Do not change to a lower gear at

speeds that will cause excessive

engine rpm (r/min). This can lock the

rear wheel causing loss of motorcycle

control and an accident. Engine

damage may also be caused. Changing

down should be done such that low

engine speeds will be ensured.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

115

Braking

1. Front brake lever

1. Rear brake pedal

All Explorer models are equipped with a

partially integrated braking system,

combined with the Anti-lock Braking

System (ABS).

The partially integrated braking system

is designed to increase the braking

efficiency of the rider.

When the rider applies the front brake, a

small amount of rear brake is also

applied, allowing for balanced braking.

The amount of rear brake application is

related to the level of braking force

applied by the rider through the front

brake lever.

Use of the rear brake pedal alone will

only apply the rear brake.

For full brake effectiveness, always

operate the front brake lever and rear

brake pedal together.

chex_1

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

Close the throttle completely, leaving

the clutch engaged to allow the

engine to help slow down the

motorcycle.

Change down one gear at a time such

that the transmission is in first gear

when the motorcycle comes to a

complete stop.

When stopping, always apply both

brakes. Normally the front brake

should be applied a little more than

the rear.

Change down or fully disengage the

clutch as necessary to keep the

engine from stalling.

If the ABS is not functioning or has

been disabled (see ABS Disable/Enable

on page 51 or Riding Mode

Configuration on page 62), never lock

the brakes, as this may cause loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

116

Warning

For emergency braking, disregard

down changing, and concentrate on

applying the front and rear brakes as

hard as possible without skidding.

Riders should practice emergency

braking in a traffic-free area (see ABS

warnings below/over).

Triumph strongly recommends that all

riders take a course of instruction,

which includes advice on safe brake

operation. Incorrect brake technique

could result in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

For your safety, always exercise

extreme caution when braking

(whether or not ABS is fitted),

accelerating or turning as any

incautious action can cause loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Independent use of the front or rear

brakes reduces overall braking

performance. Extreme braking may

cause either wheel to lock, reducing

control of the motorcycle and causing

an accident (see ABS warnings below).

When possible, reduce speed or brake

before entering a turn as closing the

throttle or braking in mid-turn may

cause wheel slip leading to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions,

or on loose surfaces, the ability to

manoeuvre and stop will be reduced.

All of your actions should be smooth

under these conditions. Sudden

acceleration, braking or turning may

cause loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

See also Optimised Cornering ABS on

page 119.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

117

Warning

When descending a long, steep

gradient or mountain pass, make use

of the engine's braking effect by down

changing and use both front and rear

brakes intermittently. Continuous

brake application or use of the rear

brake only can overheat the brakes

and reduce their effectiveness leading

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

Riding with your foot on the brake

pedal or your hands on the brake lever

may actuate the brake light, giving a

false indication to other road users. It

may also overheat the brake, reducing

braking effectiveness leading to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not coast with the engine switched

off, and do not tow the motorcycle.

The transmission is pressure-

lubricated only when the engine is

running. Inadequate lubrication may

cause damage or seizure of the

transmission, which can lead to

sudden loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Warning

When using the motorcycle on loose,

wet, or muddy roads, braking

effectiveness will be reduced by dust,

mud or moisture collecting on the

brakes. Always brake earlier in these

conditions to ensure brake surfaces

are cleaned by the braking action.

Riding the motorcycle with brakes

contaminated with dust, mud or

moisture may cause loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

Due to the nature of the partially

integrated braking system, any

attempts to spin the rear wheel whilst

the front brake is applied (Burnout)

will cause damage to the braking

system and drivetrain.

Anti-Lock Braking Systems

(ABS)

Note:

• Normally, the rider will perceive ABS

operation as a harder feel or a

pulsation of the brake lever and

pedal.

• The ABS may be activated by sudden

upward or downward changes in the

road surface.

Warning

ABS helps prevent the wheels from

locking, therefore maximising the

effectiveness of the braking system in

emergencies and when riding on

slippery surfaces. The potentially

shorter braking distances ABS allows

under certain conditions are not a

substitute for good riding practice.

Always ride within the legal speed

limit.

Never ride without due care and

attention and always reduce speed in

consideration of weather, road and

traffic conditions.

Take care when cornering. If the

brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will

not be able to counteract the weight

and momentum of the motorcycle.

This can result in loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Under some circumstances it is

possible that a motorcycle equipped

with ABS may require a longer

stopping distance than an equivalent

motorcycle without ABS.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning or has

been disabled (see Bike Setup on

page 50 or Riding Mode Configuration

on page 62), the brake system will

continue to function as a non-ABS

braking system.

Do not continue to ride for longer

than is necessary with the warning

light illuminated. In the event of a

fault, contact an authorised Triumph

dealer as soon as possible to have the

fault checked and rectified.

In this situation, braking too hard will

cause the wheels to lock resulting in

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Optimised Cornering ABS

The Explorer models listed below are

equipped with the optimised cornering

ABS:

•ExplorerXR

•ExplorerXRX-LRH

•ExplorerXR

•ExplorerXCX

•ExplorerXCX-LRH

•ExplorerXC

The optimised cornering ABS is a system

designed to give the rider increased

control should the ABS be activated

whilst the motorcycle is leaning in a

corner.

A sensor constantly monitors the lean

angle of the motorcycle. If the

motorcycle is leaning in a corner and the

ABS is activated, the system will use the

lean angle measurement to apply the

ABS in a manner most suitable to help

the rider maintain motorcycle control.

Warning

The optimised cornering ABS is a

system designed to help the rider in

emergency braking situations.

The system is designed to give the

rider increased control should the ABS

be activated whilst the motorcycle is

leaning in a corner.

The potential increased control that

the optimised cornering braking

system allows under certain

conditions is not a substitute for good

riding practice.

Continued

Warning

Continued

Always ride within the legal speed

limit.

Never ride without due care and

attention and always reduce speed in

consideration of weather, surface and

traffic conditions.

Take care when cornering.

If the motorcycle is leaning in a corner

and the ABS is activated, the

optimised cornering ABS will use the

lean angle measurement from a

sensor to apply the ABS in a manner

most suitable to help the rider

maintain motorcycle control. The

optimised cornering ABS will not

however be able to fully counteract

the weight and momentum of the

motorcycle and braking too hard

whilst cornering may result in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Under some circumstances it is

possible that a motorcycle equipped

with optimised cornering ABS may

require a longer stopping distance

than an equivalent motorcycle without

ABS, or an equivalent motorcycle

equipped with ABS but not equipped

with optimised cornering ABS.

ABS Warning Light

When the ignition switch is

turned to the ON position, it is

normal for the ABS warning

light to flash on and off (see

page 25). If the ABS warning light is

constantly illuminated it indicates that

the ABS function is not available

because:

• the ABS has been disabled by the

rider (see Bike Setup on page 50 or

Riding Mode Configuration on

page 62).

• the ABS has a malfunction that

requires investigation.

If the warning light becomes illuminated

while riding, it indicates that the ABS

has a malfunction that requires

investigation. One of the following

warning messages may be displayed in

the multifunction display:

• WARNING - ABS SYSTEM DIASBLED

• ABS SYSTEM - CORNERING ABS

DISABLED (models equipped with

optimised cornering ABS only).

See page 25 for full details of the ABS

warning light operation and it’s

associated instrument warning messages.

Warning

If the optimised cornering ABS is not

functioning, the ABS warning light will

illuminate and the message ABS

SYSTEM - CORNERING ABS DISABLED

will be displayed in the multifunction

display.

In this situation, the ABS will continue

to operate but without the optimised

cornering function, provided that:

• There are no other ABS faults

• The ABS has not been disabled by

the rider (see Bike Setup on

page 50 or Riding Mode

Configuration on page 62).

Do not continue to ride for longer

than is necessary with the warning

light illuminated. In the event of a

fault, contact an authorised Triumph

dealer as soon as possible to have the

fault checked and rectified.

In this situation, braking too hard

during cornering may result in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

121

Hill Hold Control -

Explorer XRT and

Explorer XCA Only

Hill hold control is designed to assist the

rider in making hill starts. The system

(when activated) will apply the rear

brake to hold the motorcycle in position.

The system will then automatically

deactivate and release the rear brake

when it detects that the rider is

attempting to move off.

Warning

The ABS warning light will illuminate

after three minutes, if the rear wheel

is driven while the motorcycle is on a

stand:

If the motorcycle was ridden prior to

being placed on a stand, this time will

reduced to one minute and the ABS

warning light will be accompanied by

the MIL.

This reaction is normal.

When the ignition is switched off and

the motorcycle is re-started, the

warning light(s) will remain illuminated

until the motorcycle reaches a speed

exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h).

Warning

The ABS computer operates by

comparing the relative speed of the

front and rear wheels. Use of non-

recommended tyres can affect wheel

speed and cause the ABS function not

to operate, potentially leading to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident

in conditions where the ABS would

normally function.

Warning

Avoid activating the hill hold control

system on slippery surfaces.

The hill hold control system will not be

able to prevent the motorcycle from

slipping, if it is activated on a surface

where there is insufficient levels of

tyre grip to hold the motorcycle in

position.

Activating the hill hold control system

on a slippery surface could cause the

motorcycle to slip, leading to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

122

Activation

Note:

• The hill hold control system will not

operate if there is a fault with the

ABS or engine management systems

and the ABS and/or MIL warning

lights are illuminated.

To activate the hill hold control system,

bring the motorcycle to a stop.

For hill hold control to activate:

• The engine must be running

• The side stand must be in the up

position

• The motorcycle must be stationary.

When all of the above conditions are

met, squeeze the front brake lever firmly

and quickly, then release. Upon releasing

the lever, the message HILL HOLD

ACTIVATED will appear in the

multifunction display.

1. Instrument message

The hill hold control system is now active

and the rear brake will be automatically

applied.

The message HILL HOLD ACTIVATED will

remain visible in the multifunction

display until hill hold control is

deactivated.

Warning

The hill hold control system will

deactivate if the side stand is moved

to the down position, the ignition is

switched off, the engine stop switch is

moved to the STOP position or if the

engine is stopped for any other

reason.

The hill hold control system will also

deactivate if a fault occurs which

causes the MIL to illuminate.

In these circumstances, the front

brake must be manually applied to

prevent the motorcycle from rolling.

Failure to prevent the motorcycle from

rolling may lead to loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Caution

The hill hold control system is not

designed to be used as a parking

brake.

Do not continually activate the hill

hold system for periods of longer than

10 minutes.

Continuous activation of the hill hold

control system for periods of longer

than 10 minutes may cause damage to

the ABS system.

Parking

Select neutral and turn the ignition

switch to the OFF position.

Lock the steering to help prevent theft.

Always park on a firm, level surface to

prevent the motorcycle from falling. This

is particularly important when parking

off-road.

When parking on a hill, always park

facing uphill to prevent the motorcycle

from rolling off the stand. Engage first

gear to prevent the motorcycle from

moving.

On a lateral (sideways) incline, always

park such that the incline naturally

pushes the motorcycle towards the side

stand.

Do not park on a lateral (sideways)

incline of greater than 6° and never park

facing downhill.

Note:

• When parking near traffic at night,

or when parking in a location where

parking lights are required by law,

leave the tail, licence plate and

position lights on by turning the

ignition switch to P (PARK).

Do not leave the switch in the P position

for long periods of time as this will

discharge the battery.

Warning

Do not park on a soft or on a steeply

inclined surface. Parking under these

conditions may cause the motorcycle

to fall over causing damage to

property and personal injury.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and can

be explosive under certain conditions.

If parking inside a garage or other

structure, be sure it is well ventilated

and the motorcycle is not close to any

source of flame or sparks. This

includes any appliance with a pilot

light.

Failure to follow the above advice may

cause a fire resulting in damage to

property or personal injury.

Warning

The engine and exhaust system will be

hot after riding. DO NOT park where

pedestrians and children are likely to

touch the motorcycle.

Touching any part of the engine or

exhaust system when hot may cause

unprotected skin to become burnt.

Considerations for

High-Speed Operation

General

Ensure the motorcycle has been

maintained according to the scheduled

maintenance chart.

Steering

Check that the handlebar turns

smoothly without excessive free play or

tight spots. Ensure that the control

cables do not restrict the steering in any

way.

Luggage

Make certain that any luggage

containers are closed, locked and

securely fitted to the motorcycle.

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes are

functioning properly.

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be

operated within the legal speed limits

for the particular road travelled.

Operating a motorcycle at high speeds

can be potentially dangerous since the

time available to react to given traffic

situations is greatly reduced as road

speed increases. Always reduce speed

in consideration of weather and traffic

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

The handling characteristics of a

motorcycle at high speed may vary

from those you are familiar with at

legal road speeds. Do not attempt

high-speed operation unless you have

received sufficient training and have

the required skills as a serious

accident may result from incorrect

operation.

Warning

The listed items below are extremely

important and must never be

neglected. A problem, which may not

be noticed at normal operating

speeds, may be greatly exaggerated

at high speeds.

How to Ride the Motorcycle

126

Tyres

High-speed operation is hard on tyres,

and tyres that are in good condition are

crucial to riding safely. Examine their

overall condition, inflate to the correct

pressure (when the tyres are cold), and

check the wheel balance. Securely fit the

valve caps after checking tyre

pressures. Observe the information

given in the Maintenance and

Specification sections on tyre checking

and tyre safety.

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel for the increased

fuel consumption that will result from

high-speed operation.

Engine Oil

Make certain that the engine oil level is

correct. Ensure that the correct grade

and type of oil is used when topping up.

Final Drive Oil

Make certain that the final drive oil level

is correct. Ensure that the correct grade

and type of oil is used when topping up.

Coolant

Check that the coolant level is at the

upper level line in the expansion tank.

(Always check the level with the engine

cold.)

Electrical Equipment

Make certain that the headlight,

rear/brake light, direction indicators,

horn, etc. all work properly.

Miscellaneous

Visually check that all fixings are tight.

Caution

The exhaust system is fitted with a

catalytic converter to help reduce

exhaust emission levels. 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 ensure

you have adequate fuel for your

journey.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

127

ACCESSORIES, LOADING AND PASSENGERS

The addition of accessories and carriage

of additional weight can affect the

motorcycle's handling characteristics

causing changes in stability and

necessitating a reduction in speed. The

following information has been prepared

as a guide to the potential hazards of

adding accessories to a motorcycle and

carrying passengers and additional

loads.

Adjust the headlight aim to compensate

for additional loads (see page 170).

Warning

Incorrect loading may result in an

unsafe riding condition leading to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Always ensure any loads carried are

evenly distributed on both sides of the

motorcycle. Ensure that the load is

correctly secured such that it will not

move around while the motorcycle is

in motion.

Evenly distribute the load within each

pannier. Pack heavy items at the

bottom and on the inboard side of the

pannier.

Always check the load security

regularly (though not while the

motorcycle is in motion) and ensure

that the load does not extend beyond

the rear of the motorcycle. Never

exceed the maximum vehicle loading

weight of:

Explorer XR - 238 kg (525 lb)

Explorer XRX - 236 kg (520 lb)

Explorer XRX-LRH - 238 kg (525 lb)

Continued

Warning

Continued

Explorer XRT - 227 kg (500 lb)

Explorer XC - 236 kg (520 lb)

Explorer XCX - 228 kg (503 lb)

Explorer XCX-LRH - 231 kg (509 lb)

Explorer XCA - 224 kg (494 lb).

This maximum loading weight is made

up from the combined weight of the

rider, passenger, any accessories

fitted and any load carried.

For models that have manually

adjustable suspension, ensure that

front and rear spring preload and

damping settings are suitable for the

loading condition of the motorcycle

(see page 152).

Note the maximum permissible

payload for the panniers is stated on a

label inside the pannier.

Warning

The maximum safe load for each

pannier is stated on a label inside the

pannier. Never exceed this loading

limit as this may cause the motorcycle

to become unstable leading to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

128

Warning

The maximum safe load for the top

box is stated on a label inside the top

box. Never exceed this loading limit as

this may cause the motorcycle to

become unstable leading to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not install accessories or carry

luggage that impairs the control of the

motorcycle. Make sure that you have

not adversely affected the visibility of

any lighting component, road

clearance, banking capability (i.e. lean

angle), control operation, wheel travel,

front fork movement, visibility in any

direction, or any other aspect of the

motorcycle's operation.

Warning

Never attempt to store any items

between the frame and the fuel tank.

This can restrict the steering and will

cause loss of motorcycle control

leading to an accident.

Weight attached to the handlebar or

front fork will increase the mass of the

steering assembly and can result in

loss of steering control leading to an

accident.

Warning

If the passenger seat is used to carry

small objects, they must not exceed

5 kg (11 lbs) in weight, must not impair

control of the motorcycle, must be

securely attached and must not

extend beyond the rear or sides of the

motorcycle.

Carrying objects in excess of 5 kg

(11 lbs) in weight, that are insecure,

impair control or extend beyond the

rear or sides of the motorcycle may

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Even if small objects are correctly

loaded onto the passenger seat, the

maximum speed of the motorcycle

must be reduced to 80 mph

(130 km/h).

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

129

Warning

Do not carry a passenger unless he or

she is tall enough to reach the

footrests provided.

A passenger who is not tall enough to

reach the footrests will be unable to

sit securely on the motorcycle and

may cause instability leading 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 grab handles or the

rider's waist or hips.

Advise the passenger to lean with the

rider when travelling around corners

and not to lean unless the rider does

so.

Warning

The handling and braking capabilities

of a motorcycle will be affected by the

presence of a passenger. The rider

must make allowances for these

changes when operating the

motorcycle with a passenger and

should not attempt such operation

unless trained to do so and without

becoming familiar and comfortable

with the changes in motorcycle

operating characteristics that this

brings about.

Motorcycle operation without making

allowances for the presence of a

passenger could lead to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not carry animals on your

motorcycle.

An animal could make sudden and

unpredictable movements that could

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident

Warning

This motorcycle must not be operated

above the legal road speed limit

except in authorised closed-course

conditions.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers

130

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

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

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 tyre

pressures.

• Excessively or unevenly worn

tyres.

• Side winds and turbulence from

other vehicles.

•Loose clothing.

Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)

absolute limit will reduce by the fitting

of non-approved accessories,

incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall

motorcycle condition and poor road or

weather conditions.

Scheduled Maintenance

To maintain the motorcycle in a safe and

reliable condition, the maintenance and

adjustments outlined in this section

must be carried out as specified in the

schedule of daily checks, and also in line

with the scheduled maintenance chart.

The information that follows describes

the procedures to follow when carrying

out the daily checks and some simple

maintenance and adjustment items.

Scheduled maintenance may be carried

out by your dealer in three ways; annual

maintenance, mileage based maintenance

or a combination of both, depending on

the mileage the motorcycle travels each

year.

1. Motorcycles travelling less than

10,000 miles per year must be

maintained annually. In addition to

this, mileage based items require

maintenance at their specified

intervals, as the motorcycle reaches

this mileage.

2. Motorcycles travelling approximately

10,000 miles per year must have the

annual maintenance and the

specified mileage based items

carried out together.

3. Motorcycles travelling more than

10,000 miles per year must have the

mileage based items maintained as

the motorcycle reaches the specified

mileage. In addition to this, annual

based items will require

maintenance at their specified

annual intervals.

In all cases maintenance must be carried

out at or before the specified

maintenance intervals shown. Consult

an authorised Triumph dealer for advice

on which maintenance schedule is most

suitable for your motorcycle.

Triumph Motorcycles cannot accept any

responsibility for damage or injury

resulting from incorrect maintenance or

improper adjustment.

Warning

All maintenance is vitally important

and must not be neglected. Incorrect

maintenance or adjustment may

cause one or more parts of the

motorcycle to malfunction. A

malfunctioning motorcycle may lead

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Weather, terrain and geographical

location affects maintenance. The

maintenance schedule should be

adjusted to match the particular

environment in which the vehicle is

used and the demands of the

individual owner.

Special tools, knowledge and training

are required in order to correctly

carry out the maintenance items

listed in the scheduled maintenance

chart. Only an authorised Triumph

dealer will have this knowledge and

equipment.

Since incorrect or neglected

maintenance can lead to a dangerous

riding condition, always have an

authorised Triumph dealer carry out

the scheduled maintenance of this

motorcycle.

Engine Oil

In order for the engine, transmission,

and clutch to function correctly,

maintain the engine oil at the correct

level, and change the oil and oil filter in

accordance with scheduled maintenance

requirements.

Oil Level Inspection

1. Filler plug

2. Sight glass

3. Oil level (correct level shown)

4. Crankcase oil level lines

With the motorcycle upright and off the

side stand, check to see if oil is visible in

the sight glass at a point mid-way

between the upper (maximum) and lower

(minimum) horizontal lines marked on

the crankcase.

If it is necessary to top up the oil level,

remove the filler plug and add oil, a little

at a time, until the level registered in the

sight glass is correct. Refit and tighten

the filler plug.

Note:

• An accurate indication of the level of

oil in the engine is only shown when

the engine is at normal operating

temperature and the motorcycle is

upright (not on the side/centre

stand).

Start the engine and run at idle for

approximately five minutes.

Stop the engine, then wait for at least

three minutes for the oil to settle.

Warning

Motorcycle operation with insufficient,

deteriorated, or contaminated engine

oil will cause accelerated engine wear

and may result in engine or

transmission seizure. Seizure of the

engine or transmission may lead to

sudden loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

cbnz

Warning

Never start the engine or run the

engine in a confined area. Exhaust

fumes are poisonous and can cause

loss of consciousness and death

within a short period of time. Always

operate your motorcycle in the open-

air or in an area with adequate

ventilation.

Caution

Running the engine with insufficient

oil will cause engine damage. If the low

oil pressure warning light remains on,

stop the engine immediately and

investigate the cause.

Maintenance and Adjustment

139

Note the oil level visible in the sight

glass.

When correct, oil should be visible in the

sight-glass at a point mid-way between

the upper (maximum) and lower

(minimum) horizontal lines marked on

the crankcase.

If necessary, top up the oil level as

described earlier.

Once the correct level is reached, fit and

tighten the filler plug.

Oil and Oil Filter Change

1. Oil drain plug

2. Oil filter

The engine oil and filter must be

replaced in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements.

Warm up the engine thoroughly, and

then stop the engine and secure the

motorcycle in an upright position on

level ground.

Place an oil drain pan beneath the

engine.

Remove the oil drain plug.

Unscrew and remove the oil filter using

Triumph service tool T3880313. Dispose

of the old filter in an environmentally

friendly way.

Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil to

the sealing ring of the new oil filter. Fit

the oil filter and tighten to 10 Nm.

After the oil has completely drained out,

fit a new sealing washer to the drain

plug. Fit and tighten the plug to 25 Nm.

Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50

semi or fully synthetic motorcycle

engine oil that meets specification

API SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as

Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully

synthetic) engine oil, sold as

Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W-40

(fully synthetic) in some countries.

Start the engine and allow it to idle for a

minimum of 30 seconds.

Warning

Prolonged or repeated contact with

engine oil can lead to skin dryness,

irritation and dermatitis. In addition,

used engine oil contains harmful

contamination that can lead to skin

cancer. Always wear suitable

protective clothing and avoid skin

contact with used oil.

chgy_1

Warning

The oil may be hot to the touch. Avoid

contact with the hot oil by wearing

suitable protective clothing, gloves,

eye protection, etc. Contact with hot

oil may cause the skin to be scalded or

burned.

Maintenance and Adjustment

140

Ensure that the low oil pressure warning

light remains off after starting and the

message WARNING - OIL PRESSURE LOW

is not visible in the instrument's display

screen.

Stop the engine and re-check the oil

level. Adjust if necessary.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil

Filters

To protect the environment, do not pour

oil on the ground, down sewers or

drains, or into watercourses. Do not

place used oil filters in with general

waste. If in doubt, contact your local

authority.

Oil Specification and Grade

Triumph high performance fuel injected

engines are designed to use 10W/40 or

15W/50 semi or fully synthetic

motorcycle engine oil that meets

specification API SH (or higher) and

JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1

Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic)

engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS

Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in

some countries.

Triumph recommends the fully synthetic

10W/40 motorcycle engine oil for most

conditions. The oil viscosity may need to

be changed to accommodate the

ambient temperatures in your riding

area.

Refer to the chart below for the correct

oil viscosity (10W/40 of 10W/50) to be

used in your riding area.

Oil Viscosity Temperature Range

Do not add any chemical additives to the

engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates

the clutch and any additives could cause

the clutch to slip.

Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-

detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil

not conforming to the required

specification. The use of these oils may

cause instant, severe engine damage.

Caution

Raising the engine speed above idle

before the oil reaches all parts of the

engine can cause engine damage or

seizure. Only raise engine speed after

running the engine for 30 seconds to

allow the oil to circulate fully.

Caution

If the engine oil pressure is too low,

the low oil pressure warning light will

illuminate. If this light stays on when

the engine is running, stop the engine

immediately and investigate the

cause. Running the engine with low oil

pressure will cause engine damage.

Cooling System

To ensure efficient

engine cooling,

check the coolant

level each day

before riding the

motorcycle, and top

up the coolant if

the level is low.

Note:

• A year-round, Hybrid Organic Acid

Technology (known as Hybrid OAT or

HOAT) coolant is installed in the

cooling system when the motorcycle

leaves the factory. It is coloured

green, contains a 50% solution of

ethylene glycol based antifreeze, and

has a freezing point of -35°C (-31°F).

Corrosion Inhibitors

To protect the cooling system from

corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor

chemicals in the coolant is essential.

If coolant containing a corrosion

inhibitor is not used, the cooling system

will accumulate rust and scale in the

water jacket and radiator. This will block

the coolant passages, and considerably

reduce the efficiency of the cooling

system.

Note:

• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as

supplied by Triumph, is pre-mixed

and does not need to be diluted prior

to filling or topping up the cooling

system.

Coolant Level Inspection

Note:

• The coolant level should be checked

when the engine is cold (at room or

ambient temperature).

1. Expansion tank

2. MAX mark

3. MIN mark

cbob

Warning

HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant contains

corrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze

suitable for aluminium engines and

radiators. Always use the coolant in

accordance with the instructions of

the manufacturer.

Coolant that contains anti-freeze and

corrosion inhibitors contains toxic

chemicals that are harmful to the

human body. Never swallow

anti-freeze or any of the motorcycle

coolant.

Maintenance and Adjustment

142

Position the motorcycle on level ground

and in an upright position. The

expansion tank can be viewed from the

left hand side of the motorcycle.

Check the coolant level in the expansion

tank. The coolant level must be between

the MAX and MIN marks. If the coolant is

below the minimum level, the coolant

level must be adjusted.

Coolant Level Adjustment

1. Expansion tank

2. Expansion tank cap

Allow the engine to cool.

The expansion tank cap can be removed

from the left hand side of the

motorcycle.

Remove the cap from the expansion

tank and add coolant mixture through

the filler opening until the level reaches

the MAX mark. Refit the cap.

Note:

• If the coolant level is being checked

because the coolant has overheated,

also check the level in the radiator

and top up if necessary.

• In an emergency, distilled water can

be added to the cooling system.

However, the coolant must then be

drained and replenished with HD4X

Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as

possible.

Coolant Change

Have the coolant changed by an auth-

orised Triumph dealer in accordance with

scheduled maintenance requirements.

Radiator and Hoses

Check the radiator hoses for cracks or

deterioration, and hose clips for

tightness in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements. Have your

authorised Triumph dealer replace any

defective items.

Check the radiator grille and fins for

obstructions by insects, leaves or mud.

Clean off any obstructions with a stream

of low-pressure water.

Warning

Do not remove the radiator pressure

cap when the engine is hot. When the

engine is hot, the coolant inside the

radiator will be hot and also under

pressure. Contact with this hot,

pressurised coolant will cause scalds

and skin damage.

Caution

If hard water is used in the cooling

system, it will cause scale

accumulation in the engine and

radiator and considerably reduce the

efficiency of the cooling system.

Reduced cooling system efficiency

may cause the engine to overheat and

suffer severe damage.

Maintenance and Adjustment

143

Inspection

Check that the throttle opens smoothly,

without undue force and that it closes

without sticking. Have your authorised

Triumph dealer check the throttle

system if a problem is detected or any

doubt exists.

Check that there is 1 - 2 mm of throttle

grip free play when lightly turning the

throttle grip back and forth.

If there is an incorrect amount of free

play, Triumph recommends that you

have your authorised Triumph dealer

investigate.

Warning

The fan operates automatically when

the engine is running. Always keep

hands and clothing away from the fan

as contact with the rotating fan can

cause injury.

Caution

Using high-pressure water sprays,

such as from a car wash facility or

household pressure washer, can

damage the radiator fins, cause leaks

and impair the radiator's efficiency.

Do not obstruct or deflect airflow

through the radiator by installing

unauthorised accessories, either in

front of the radiator or behind the

cooling fan. Interference with the

radiator airflow can cause

overheating, potentially resulting in

engine damage.

Warning

Always be alert for changes in the

'feel' of the throttle control and have

the throttle system checked by an

authorised Triumph dealer if any

changes are detected. Changes can be

due to wear in the mechanism, which

could lead to a sticking throttle

control.

A sticking or stuck throttle control will

lead to loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Warning

Use of the motorcycle with a sticking

or damaged throttle control will

interfere with the throttle function

resulting in loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

To avoid continued use of a sticking or

damaged throttle control, always have

it checked by your authorised Triumph

dealer.

Maintenance and Adjustment

144

Clutch

The motorcycle is equipped with a

hydraulically operated clutch that does

not require adjustment.

Clutch Fluid Level Inspection and

Adjustment

Inspect the level of brake and clutch

fluid in the reservoir and change the

fluid in accordance with the scheduled

maintenance requirements. Use only

DOT 4 fluid as recommended in the

specification section. The brake and

clutch fluid must also be changed if it

becomes, or is suspected of having

become contaminated with moisture or

any other contaminants.

The brake and clutch fluid in the

reservoir must be kept between the

upper and lower level lines (reservoir

held horizontal).

Release the fixings securing the clutch

reservoir cover, then remove the cover

noting the position of the diaphragm

seal.

Fill the reservoir to the upper level line

using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed

container.

Refit the reservoir cover ensuring that

the diaphragm seal is correctly fitted.

Tighten the fixings to 1.5 Nm.

1. Fixings

2. Cover

3. Diaphragm seal

4. Upper level line

5. Lower level line

Warning

Use only DOT 4 specification brake

and clutch fluid as listed in the

specification section of this handbook.

The use of brake and clutch fluids

other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in

the specification section may reduce

the efficiency of the clutch system

leading to an accident.

Failure to change the brake and clutch

fluid at the interval specified in the

scheduled maintenance chart may

reduce clutch efficiency resulting in

an accident.

Maintenance and Adjustment

145

Final Drive Unit

Other than checking the final drive oil

level, the unit contains no user

serviceable parts. If a fault occurs with

the final drive unit, your Triumph dealer

must replace the complete assembly.

Check the final drive unit for oil leaks in

accordance with the scheduled

maintenance chart.

Final Drive Oil Level Adjustment

1. Filler level plug

To check the oil level in the final drive

unit, remove the filler level plug. Fill with

75W/90 fully synthetic hypoid oil that

meets specification API Service Level GL5,

such as Castrol SAF-XO fully synthetic

hypoid oil, until the level of oil inside the

unit is level with the bottom of the filler.

Refit the plug and tighten to 25 Nm.

Brakes

Brake Wear Inspection

1. Brake pads

2. Minimum thickness line

Brake pads must be inspected in

accordance with scheduled requirements

and replaced if worn to, or beyond the

minimum service thickness.

If the lining thickness of any pad (front

or rear brakes) is less than 1.5 mm

(0.06 in), that is, if the pad has worn

down to the bottom of the grooves,

replace all the pads on the wheel.

Warning

Under no circumstances should the

final drive unit be disassembled.

Failure to observe the above warning

could lead to a malfunction of the final

drive unit causing lock-up of the rear

wheel leading to loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Maintenance and Adjustment

146

Breaking-in New Brake Discs and

Pads

Triumph recommend a period of careful

breaking-in for new brake discs and

pads that, if followed correctly, will

optimise their performance and

longevity.

The recommended distance for

breaking-in new brake discs and pads is

200 miles (300 km).

During the breaking-in period, avoid

extreme braking, ride with caution and

allow for greater braking distances.

Brake Pad Wear Compensation

Disc and brake pad wear is automatically

compensated for and has no effect on

the brake lever or pedal action. There

are no parts that require adjustment on

the front and rear brakes.

Warning

Brake pads must always be replaced

as a wheel set. At the front, where two

calipers are fitted on the same wheel,

replace all the brake pads in both

calipers.

Replacing individual pads will reduce

braking efficiency and may cause an

accident.

After replacement brake pads have

been fitted, ride with extreme caution

until the new pads have broken in.

Warning

Brake pad wear will be increased if the

motorcycle is used frequently off-

road. Always inspect the brake pads

more frequently if the motorcycle is

used off-road, and replace the brake

pads before they become worn to, or

beyond the minimum service

thickness.

Riding with worn brake pads may

reduce braking efficiency, leading to

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

If the brake lever or pedal feels soft

when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal

travel becomes excessive, there may

be air in the brake pipes and hoses or

the brakes may be defective.

It is dangerous to operate the

motorcycle under such conditions and

your authorised Triumph dealer must

rectify the fault before riding.

Riding with defective brakes may lead

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Maintenance and Adjustment

147

Disc Brake Fluid

Inspect the level of brake fluid in both

reservoirs and change the brake fluid in

accordance with scheduled maintenance

requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as

recommended in the Specification

section. The brake fluid must also be

changed if it becomes, or is suspected of

having become contaminated with

moisture or any other contaminants.

Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection

and Adjustment

1. Upper level line

2. Lower level line

The brake fluid level in the reservoirs

must be kept between the upper and

lower level lines (reservoir held

horizontal).

To inspect the fluid level, check the level

of fluid visible in the window at the front

of the reservoir body.

To adjust the fluid level, release the cap

screws and remove the reservoir cap

and the diaphragm seal.

Fill the reservoir to the upper level line

using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed

container.

Refit the cover, ensuring that the

diaphragm seal is correctly positioned

between the cap and reservoir body.

Tighten the cap retaining screws to

1.5 Nm.

Warning

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which

means it will absorb moisture from the

air.

Any absorbed moisture will greatly

reduce the boiling point of the brake

fluid causing a reduction in braking

efficiency.

Because of this, always replace brake

fluid in accordance with scheduled

maintenance requirements.

Always use new brake fluid from a

sealed container and never use fluid

from an unsealed container or from

one which has been previously

opened.

Do not mix different brands or grades

of brake fluid.

Check for fluid leakage around brake

fittings, seals and joints and also

check the brake hoses for splits,

deterioration and damage.

Always rectify any faults before riding.

Failure to observe and act upon any of

these items may cause a dangerous

riding condition leading to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Tyre Inflation Pressures

Correct tyre inflation pressures will

provide maximum stability, rider comfort

and tyre life. Always check tyre

pressures before riding when the tyres

are cold. Check tyre pressures daily and

adjust if necessary (see Specification

section for correct inflation pressures).

Alternatively, ask your authorised

Triumph dealer to inspect your wheels

and tyres.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(if fitted)

The tyre pressures shown on your

instruments indicate the actual tyre

pressure at the time of selecting the

display. This may differ from the inflation

pressure set when the tyres are cold

because tyres become warmer during

riding, causing the air in the tyre to

expand and increase the inflation

pressure. The cold inflation pressures

specified by Triumph take account of

this.

Owners must only adjust tyre pressures

when the tyres are cold using an

accurate pressure gauge, and must not

use the tyre pressure display on the

instruments. Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre

becomes more susceptible to punctures.

It is estimated that 90% of all tyre

problems occur during the last 10% of

tread life (90% worn). It is therefore not

recommended to use tyres until they are

worn to their minimum.

Warning

Incorrect tyre inflation will cause

abnormal tread wear and instability

problems which may lead to loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Under-inflation may result in the tyre

slipping on, or coming off the rim.

Over-inflation will cause instability and

accelerated tread wear.

Both conditions are dangerous as

they may cause loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

Tyre pressures which have been

reduced for off-road riding will impair

on-road stability. Always ensure the

tyre pressure are set as described in

the Specification section for on-road

use.

Operation of the motorcycle with

incorrect tyre pressures may cause

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

This motorcycle must not be operated

above the legal road speed limit

except in authorised 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

Operation with excessively worn tyres

is hazardous and will adversely affect

traction, stability and handling which

may lead to loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

When tyres become punctured,

leakage is often very slow. Always

inspect tyres very closely for

punctures. Check the tyres for cuts,

embedded nails or other sharp

objects. Operation with punctured or

damaged tyres will adversely affect

stability and handling which may lead

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Check the rims for dents or

deformation and spokes for looseness

and damage. Operation with damaged

or defective wheels, spokes or tyres is

dangerous and loss of motorcycle

control and an accident could result.

Always consult your authorised

Triumph dealer for tyre replacement,

or for a safety inspection of the

wheels, spokes and tyres.

Maintenance and Adjustment

158

Tyre Replacement

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully

and extensively tested in a range of

riding conditions to ensure that the

most effective tyre combinations are

approved for use on this model. It is

essential that approved tyres, fitted in

approved combinations, are used when

purchasing replacement tyres. The use

of non-approved tyres, or approved

tyres in non-approved combinations,

may lead to motorcycle instability and

an accident. On models fitted with ABS,

different wheel speeds, caused by non-

approved tyres can affect the function

of the ABS computer.

See the Specification section for details

of approved tyre combinations. Always

have tyres fitted and balanced by your

authorised Triumph dealer who has the

necessary training and skills to ensure

safe, effective fitment.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(Only on models fitted with TPMS)

Caution

An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel

rim to indicate the position of the tyre

pressure sensor. Care must be taken

when replacing the tyres to prevent

any damage to the tyre pressure

sensors. Always have your tyres fitted

by your authorised Triumph dealer

and inform them that tyre pressure

sensors are fitted to the wheels.

Caution

Do not use anti puncture fluid or any

other item likely to obstruct air flow to

the TPMS sensor's orifices. Any

blockage to the air pressure orifice of

the TPMS sensor during operation will

cause the sensor to become blocked,

causing irreparable damage to the

TPMS sensor assembly. Damage

caused by the use of anti puncture

fluid or incorrect maintenance is not

considered a manufacturing defect

and will not be covered under

warranty. Always have your tyres

fitted by your authorised Triumph

dealer and inform them that tyre

pressure sensors are fitted to the

wheels.

Maintenance and Adjustment

159

Warning

Use of non-recommended tyres can

affect wheel speed and cause the

Triumph traction control function not

to operate, potentially leading to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident

in conditions where the Triumph

traction control would normally

function.

Warning

The ABS computer operates by

comparing the relative speed of the

front and rear wheels. Use of non-

recommended tyres can affect wheel

speed and cause the ABS function not

to operate, potentially leading to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident

in conditions where the ABS would

normally function.

Warning

If a tyre sustains a puncture, the tyre

must be replaced. Failure to replace a

punctured tyre, or operation with a

repaired tyre can lead to instability,

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

Do not install tube-type tyres on

tubeless rims. The bead will not seat

and the tyres could slip on the rims,

causing rapid tyre deflation that may

result in a loss of vehicle control and

an accident. Never install an inner

tube inside a tubeless tyre. This will

cause friction inside the tyre and the

resulting heat build-up may cause the

tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre

deflation, loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Warning

If tyre damage is suspected, such as

after striking the kerb, ask your

authorised Triumph dealer to inspect

the tyre both internally and

externally. Remember, tyre damage

may not always be visible from the

outside. Operation of the motorcycle

with damaged tyres could lead to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Maintenance and Adjustment

160

Warning

When replacement tyres are required,

consult your authorised Triumph

dealer who will arrange for the tyres

to be selected, in a correct

combination, from the approved list

and fitted according to the tyre

manufacturer's instructions.

When tyres are replaced, allow time

for the tyres to seat to the rim

(approximately 24 hours). During this

seating period, ride cautiously as an

incorrectly seated tyre could cause

instability, loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Initially, the new tyres will not produce

the same handling characteristics as

the worn tyres and the rider must

allow adequate riding distance

(approximately 100 miles) to become

accustomed to the new handling

characteristics.

24 hours after fitting, the tyre

pressures must be checked and

adjusted, and the tyres examined for

correct seating. Rectification must be

carried out as necessary.

The same checks and adjustments

must also be carried out when

100 miles have been travelled after

fitting.

Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly

seated tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre

pressures, or when not accustomed to

its handling characteristics may lead

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

Tyres that have been used on a rolling

road dynamometer may become

damaged. In some cases, the damage

may not be visible on the external

surface of the tyre.

Tyres must be replaced after such use

as continued use of a damaged tyre

may lead to instability, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly

seated tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre

pressures, or when not accustomed to

its handling characteristics may lead

to loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Warning

Accurate wheel balance is necessary

for safe, stable handling of the

motorcycle. Do not remove or change

any wheel balance weights. Incorrect

wheel balance may cause instability

leading to loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

When wheel balancing is required,

such as after tyre replacement, see

your authorised Triumph dealer.

Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-

on weights may damage the wheel

and tyre resulting in tyre deflation,

loss of motorcycle control and an

accident.

Battery Disposal

Should the battery ever require

replacement, the original battery must

be handed to a recycling agent who will

ensure that the dangerous substances

from which the battery is manufactured

do not pollute the environment.

Battery Maintenance

Clean the battery using a clean, dry

cloth. Be sure that the cable

connections are clean.

The battery is a sealed type and does

not require any maintenance other than

checking the Voltage and routine

recharging when required, such as

during storage.

It is not possible to adjust the battery

acid level in the battery; the sealing strip

must not be removed.

Battery Discharge

Under normal conditions, the motorcycle

charging system will keep the battery

fully charged. However, if the motorcycle

is unused, the battery will gradually

discharge due to a normal process called

self discharge; the clock, engine control

module (ECM) memory, high ambient

temperatures, or the addition of

electrical security systems or other

electrical accessories will all increase

this rate of battery discharge.

Disconnecting the battery from the

motorcycle during storage will reduce

the rate of discharge.

Warning

Ensure that the battery terminals do

not touch the motorcycle frame as

this may cause a short circuit or

spark, which would ignite battery

gases causing a risk of personal

injury.

Warning

The battery acid is corrosive and

poisonous and will cause damage to

unprotected skin. Never swallow

battery acid or allow it to come into

contact with the skin. To prevent

injury, always wear eye and skin

protection when handling the battery.

Caution

The charge level in the battery must

be maintained to maximise battery life.

Failure to maintain the battery charge

level could cause serious internal

damage to the battery.

Maintenance and Adjustment

163

Battery Maintenance During

Storage and Infrequent Use of the

Motorcycle

During storage or infrequent use of the

motorcycle, inspect the battery Voltage

weekly using a digital multimeter. Follow

the manufacturer's instructions supplied

with the meter.

Should the battery Voltage fall below

12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged

(see page 163).

Allowing a battery to discharge or

leaving it discharged for even a short

period of time causes sulphation of the

lead plates. Sulphation is a normal part

of the chemical reaction inside the

battery, however over time the sulphate

can crystallise on the plates making

recovery difficult or impossible. This

permanent damage is not covered by

the motorcycle warranty, as it is not due

to a manufacturing defect.

Keeping the battery fully charged

reduces the likelihood of it freezing in

cold conditions. Allowing a battery to

freeze will cause serious internal

damage to the battery.

Battery Charging

For help with selecting a battery

charger, checking the battery Voltage or

battery charging, contact your local

authorised Triumph dealer.

Warning

The battery gives off explosive gases;

keep sparks, flames and cigarettes

away. Provide adequate ventilation

when charging or using the battery in

Maintenance and Adjustment

Chassis Electronic Control Module (Chassis ECM)

Many of the motorcycle’s electrical systems (such as lighting, TSAS if fitted, horn,

cooling fan, fuel pump, and accessories such as heated grips or seats) are controlled

by a Chassis Electronic Control Module (Chassis ECM).

The chassis ECM provides a primary level of protection to the electrical systems it

controls. If a fault is detected, the chassis ECM will automatically cut power to the

affected system.

The chassis ECM can be reset by turning the Ignition off then on again. Power will be

restored to the inoperative system, providing that the condition that caused the fault

has been rectified.

The systems controlled by the chassis ECM are also provided with a secondary level

of protection, by fuses PS1 to PS5 in the main fuse box (see page 166). A blown fuse is

likely when all of the systems protected by that fuse become inoperative.

Refer to the following table for full details of the chassis ECM controlled systems, and

their corresponding fuses.

could lead to an electrical problem, resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Maintenance and Adjustment

169

Headlights

Warning

Adjust road speed to suit the visibility

and weather conditions in which the

motorcycle is being operated.

Ensure that the beams are adjusted

to illuminate the road surface

sufficiently far ahead without dazzling

oncoming traffic. An incorrectly

adjusted headlight may impair

visibility causing an accident.

Warning

Never attempt to adjust a headlight

beam when the motorcycle is in

motion.

Any attempt to adjust a headlight

beam when the motorcycle is in

motion may result in loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

Do not cover the headlight or lens

with any item likely to obstruct air

flow to, or prevent heat escaping from,

the headlight lens.

Covering the headlight lens during

operation with items of clothing,

luggage, adhesive tape, devices

intended to alter or adjust the

headlight beam or non genuine

headlight lens covers will cause the

headlight lens to overheat and distort,

causing irreparable damage to the

headlight assembly.

Damage caused by overheating is not

considered a manufacturing defect

and will not be covered under

warranty.

If the headlight must be covered during

use – such as taping of the headlight

lens required during closed-course

conditions – the headlight must be

disconnected.

Maintenance and Adjustment

170

Headlight Adjustment

Each headlight can be adjusted by

means of vertical and horizontal

adjustment screws located on the rear

of each headlight. In addition, the

headlight is equipped with an easily

accessible adjuster to allow the vertical

adjustment to be corrected when the

motorcycle is fully loaded.

1. Horizontal adjustment screw

2. Vertical adjustment screw

3. Headlight adjuster lever for loaded

conditions

Switch the headlight dipped beam on.

Turn the vertical adjustment screw on

the headlight clockwise to raise the

beam or anti-clockwise to lower the

beam.

Turn the horizontal adjustment screw

clockwise to move the beam to the right

or anticlockwise to move the beam to

the left.

Switch the headlights off when the beam

settings are satisfactory.

Headlight Adjustment Lever for Loaded

Conditions

1. Headlight adjuster lever (unloaded

position)

2. Headlight adjuster lever (loaded

position)

For normal (unloaded) conditions the

headlight adjuster lever should be set in

the horizontal position (1).

For loaded conditions rotate the

headlight adjuster downwards until it

stops (2). This will lower the headlight

beams by approximately 2°.

Cleaning

Frequent, regular cleaning is an

essential part of the maintenance of

your motorcycle. If regularly cleaned, the

appearance will be preserved for many

years. Cleaning with cold water

containing an automotive cleaner is

essential at all times but particularly so

after exposure to sea breezes, sea

water, dusty or muddy roads and in

winter when roads are treated for ice

and snow. Do not use household

detergent, as the use of such products

will lead to premature corrosion.

Although, under the terms of your

motorcycle warranty, cover is provided

against the corrosion of certain items,

the owner is expected to observe this

reasonable advice which will safeguard

against corrosion and enhance the

appearance of the motorcycle.

Care of Matt Paintwork

Matt paintwork requires no greater care

than that already recommended for high

gloss paintwork.

• Do not use any polish or wax on

components.

• Do not try and polish out scratches.

Preparation for Washing

Before washing, precautions must be

taken to keep water off the following

places.

Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover

with a plastic bag secured with rubber

bands.

Clutch and brake levers, switch housings

on the handlebar: Cover with plastic

bags.

Ignition switch and seat lock: Cover the

keyhole with tape.

Remove any items of jewellery such as

rings, watches, zips or belt buckles,

which may scratch or otherwise damage

painted or polished surfaces.

Use separate cleaning sponges or

cleaning cloths for washing

painted/polished surfaces and chassis

areas. Chassis areas (such as wheels

and under mudguards) will be exposed

to more abrasive road grime and dust,

which may then scratch painted or

polished surfaces, if the same sponge or

cleaning cloths are used.

Where to be Careful

Avoid spraying water with any great

force near the following places:

• Instruments

• Brake cylinders and brake calipers

• Under the fuel tank

• Headstock bearings.

Caution

Any water sprayed around the air

intake duct could enter the airbox and

engine, causing damage to both items.

Caution

Use of high-pressure spray washers is

not recommended. When using

pressure washers, water may be

forced into bearings and other

components causing premature wear

from corrosion and loss of lubrication.

Maintenance and Adjustment

174

Note:

• Use of soaps that are highly alkaline

will leave a residue on painted

surfaces, and may also cause water

spotting. Always use a low alkaline

soap to aid the cleaning process.

After Washing

Remove the plastic bags and tape, and

clear the 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 exhaust fumes.

Use a dry cloth to absorb water residue.

Do not allow water to stand on the

machine as this will lead to corrosion.

Seat Care

To help maintain its appearance, clean

the seat using a sponge or cleaning

cloth with soap and water.

Unpainted Aluminium Items

Items such as brake and clutch levers,

wheels, engine covers, top and bottom

yokes on some models must be correctly

cleaned to preserve their appearance.

Please contact your dealer if you are

unsure which components on your

motorcycle are unpainted aluminium

parts.

Use a proprietary brand of aluminium

cleaner.

Clean aluminium items regularly, in

particular after use in inclement

weather, where the components must

be hand washed and dried each time the

machine is used.

Warranty claims due to inadequate

maintenance will not be allowed.

Cleaning the Windscreen and Clear

Panels

Clean the windscreen and clear panels

with a solution of mild soap or detergent

and lukewarm water. After cleaning,

rinse well and then dry with a soft, lint

free cloth.

Warning

Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.

Loss of braking power and an accident

could result. Clean the disc with a

proprietary brand of oil-free brake

disc cleaner.

Caution

Use of chemicals or high-pressure

spray washers is not recommended

for cleaning the seat. Using chemicals

or pressure washers may damage the

seat cover.

Caution

Products such as window cleaning

fluids, insect remover, rain repellent,

scouring compounds, petrol or strong

solvents such as alcohol, acetone,

carbon tetrachloride, etc. will damage

the windscreen. Never allow these

products to contact the screen.

Maintenance and Adjustment

175

If the transparency of the windscreen or

clear panels is reduced by scratches or

oxidation which cannot be removed, the

windscreen or clear panels must be

replaced.

Cleaning of the Exhaust System

All parts of the exhaust system of your

motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to

avoid a deterioration of its appearance.

Note:

• The exhaust system must be cool

before washing to prevent water

spotting.

Washing

Prepare a mixture of cold water and mild

automotive cleaner. Do not use a highly

alkaline soap as commonly found at

commercial car washes because it leaves

a residue.

Wash the exhaust system with a soft

cloth. Do not use an abrasive scouring

pad or steel wool. They will damage the

finish.

Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.

Ensure no soap or water enters the rear

opening of the exhaust.

Drying

Dry the exhaust system as far as

possible with a soft cloth. Do not run the

engine to dry the system or spotting will

occur.

Protecting

When the exhaust system is dry, rub

"Motorex 645 Clean and Protect" into

the surface.

It is recommended that regular

protection be applied to the system as

this will both protect and enhance the

system's appearance.

Warning

Never attempt to clean the

windscreen while the motorcycle is in

motion as releasing the handlebars

may cause loss of motorcycle control

and an accident.

Operation of the motorcycle with a

damaged or scratched windscreen will

reduce the rider's forward vision. Any

such reduction in forward vision is

dangerous and may lead to an

accident causing injury or death.

Caution

Corrosive chemicals such as battery

acid will damage the windscreen.

Never allow corrosive chemicals to

contact the windscreen.

Caution

The use of abrasive cleaners and

polishes will damage the system and

must not be used.

Maintenance and Adjustment

176

Care of Leather Products

We recommend that you periodically

clean your leather products with a damp

cloth and allow them to dry naturally at

room temperature. This will maintain the

appearance of the leather and ensure

the long life of your product.

Your Triumph leather product is a

natural product and lack of care can

result in damage and permanent wear.

Follow these simple instructions and give

your leather product the respect it

deserves:

• Do not use household cleaning

products, bleach, detergents

containing bleach or any kind of

solvent to clean your leather

product.

• Do not immerse your leather

product in water.

• Avoid direct heat from fires and

radiators which can dry out and

distort the leather.

• Do not leave your leather product in

direct sunlight for prolonged periods

of time.

• Do not dry your leather product by

applying direct heat to it at any time.

• If your leather product does get wet,

absorb any excess water with a soft

clean cloth then leave the product to

dry naturally at room temperature.

• Avoid exposure of your leather

product to high levels of salt, for

example sea/salt water or road

surfaces that have been treated

during the winter for ice and snow.

• If exposure to salt is unavoidable,

clean your leather product

immediately after each exposure

using a damp cloth then leave the

product to dry naturally at room

temperature.

• Gently clean any minor marks with a

damp cloth then leave the product

to dry naturally at room

temperature.

• Place your leather product in a

fabric bag or cardboard box to

protect it when in storage. Do not

use a plastic bag.

Storage

177

STORAGE

Preparation for Storage

Clean and dry the entire vehicle

thoroughly.

Fill the fuel tank with the correct grade

of unleaded fuel and add a fuel stabiliser

(if available), following the fuel stabiliser

manufacturer's instructions.

Remove the spark plug from each

cylinder and put several drops (5 ml) of

engine oil into each cylinder. Cover the

spark plug holes with a piece of cloth or

rag. With the engine stop switch in the

RUN position, push the starter button

for a few seconds to coat the cylinder

walls with oil. Install the spark plugs,

tightening to 12 Nm.

Change the engine oil and filter (see

page 139).

Check and if necessary correct the tyre

pressures (see page 182).

Set the motorcycle on a stand so that

both wheels are raised off the ground. (If

this cannot be done, put boards under

the front and rear wheels to keep

dampness away from the tyres.)

Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are a host

of products on the market and your

dealer will be able to offer you local

advice) on all unpainted metal surfaces

to prevent rusting. Prevent oil from

getting on rubber parts, brake discs or in

the brake calipers.

Make sure the cooling system is filled

with a 50% mixture of coolant (noting

that HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as

supplied by Triumph, is pre-mixed and

requires no dilution) and distilled water

solution (see page 141).

Remove the battery, and store it where

it will not be exposed to direct sunlight,

moisture, or freezing temperatures.

During storage it should be given a slow

charge (one ampere or less) about once

every two weeks (see page 161).

Store the motorcycle in a cool, dry area,

away from sunlight, and with a minimum

daily temperature variation.

Put a suitable porous cover over the

motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from

collecting on it. Avoid using plastic or

similar non-breathable, coated materials

that restrict air flow and allow heat and

moisture to accumulate.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and can

be explosive under certain conditions.

Turn the ignition switch off. Do not

smoke. Make sure the area is well

ventilated and free from any source of

flame or sparks; this includes any

appliance with a pilot light.

Storage

178

Preparation after Storage

Install the battery (if removed) (see

page 164).

If the motorcycle has been stored for

more than four months, change the

engine oil (see page 139).

Check all the points listed in the Daily

Safety Checks section.

Before starting the engine, remove the

spark plugs from each cylinder.

Put the side stand down.

Crank the engine on the starter motor

several times until the oil pressure light

goes out.

Refit the spark plugs, tightening to

12 Nm, and start the engine.

Check and if necessary correct the tyre

pressures (see page 182).

Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.

Check the brakes for correct operation.

Test ride the motorcycle at low speeds.

Industry Canada RSS Warning Statement:

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an

antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by

Industry Canada.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain

should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not

more than that necessary for successful communication.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation

is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause interference, and

2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut

fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé

pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.

Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres

utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance

isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à

l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux

appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions

suivantes:

1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et

2. l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si

le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
