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
and
The
Explorer XRX-LRH
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
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.
Fuel and Exhaust Fumes
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 openair or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Foreword - Safety First
Helmet and Clothing
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.
Riding
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
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
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
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.
Handlebars and Footrests
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
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.
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.
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.
Foreword - Safety First
Parking
Parts and Accessories
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.
10
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

Engine Management System
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
High Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
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.
With the engine running, if the
engine coolant temperature
becomes dangerously high,
the high coolant temperature
warning light in the tachometer will
illuminate.
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.
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.
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.

Riding Mode Selection
Warning
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.
58
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
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.
•
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).
63
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
•
•
•
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.
64
•
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.

General Information
Traction Control (TC)
Warning
The traction control and optimised
cornering traction control systems are
not
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.
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.
82
Optimised Cornering TC
The following Explorer models are
equipped with optimised cornering TC:
• Explorer XRX
• Explorer XRX-LRH
• Explorer XRT
• Explorer XCX
• Explorer XCX-LRH
• Explorer XCA
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.
General Information
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
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

disabled warning light operation and its
associated instrument warning messages.
83
General Information
Traction Control Settings
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.
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)
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.
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.

TPMS warning light
Instrument message
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.
Warning
The tyre pressure monitoring system
is not to be used as a tyre pressure
gauge when adjusting the tyre
pressures. For correct tyre pressures,
always check the tyre pressures 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
Low Tyre Pressure
If a low tyre pressure is detected, the
tyre pressure warning light will
illuminate and the message TPMS FRONT/REAR TYRE LOW PRESSURE will
be displayed (see page 32).
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.
Replacement Tyres
When replacing tyres, always have an
authorised Triumph dealer fit your tyres
and ensure they are aware that tyre
pressure sensors are fitted to the
wheels (see page 158).
Fuel Requirement/Refuelling
Fuel Grade
Pb
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.
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.
87
General Information
Fuel Tank Cap
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated
with refuelling, always observe the
following fuel safety instructions:
Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and
can be explosive under certain
conditions. When refuelling, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refuelling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
Never fill the tank until the fuel level
rises into the filler neck. Heat from
sunlight or other sources may cause
the fuel to expand and overflow
creating a fire hazard.
After refuelling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed and

General Information
Filling the Fuel Tank
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Caution
Contaminated fuel may cause damage
to fuel system components.
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level
above the bottom of the filler neck. This
will ensure there is enough air space to
allow for fuel expansion if the fuel inside
the tank expands through absorption of
heat from the engine or from direct
sunlight.
Warning
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up
the spillage immediately and dispose
of the materials used safely.
Take care not to spill any fuel on the
engine, exhaust pipes, tyres or any
other part of the motorcycle.
Because fuel is highly flammable, any
fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to
observe the safety advice given above
may lead to a fire hazard, which could
cause damage to property and injury
or death to persons.
Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tyres
will reduce the tyre's ability to grip the
road. This will result in a dangerous
riding condition potentially causing
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
After refuelling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed and
locked.

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 onroad 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
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.
Running-In
R.P.M.
cboa
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.
107
General Information
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
cboc
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.

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:
•
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.
112
•
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.
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
Leaving the throttle fully closed, push
the starter button until the engine
starts.
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.
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 openair 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.
•
•
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.
113
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Changing Gears
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.
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
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.
114
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Braking
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.
Warning
chex_1
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.
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.
115
How to Ride the Motorcycle
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.
116
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
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
pressurelubricated 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.
117
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Anti-Lock Braking Systems
(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.
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.
118
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.
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Optimised Cornering ABS
The Explorer models listed below are
equipped with the optimised cornering
ABS:
• Explorer XRX
• Explorer XRX-LRH
• Explorer XRT
• Explorer XCX
• Explorer XCX-LRH
• Explorer XCA.
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.
119
How to Ride the Motorcycle
ABS Warning Light
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.
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.
120
How to Ride the Motorcycle
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 nonrecommended 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.
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
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.
121
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Activation
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.
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.
OFF-ROAD
HILL HOLD

122
How to Ride the Motorcycle
The rear brake will remain applied until:
• The system detects that the rider is
attempting to move off.
• Hill hold control is manually
deactivated by the rider.
Deactivation
The hill hold control system will
automatically deactivate when it detects
that the rider is attempting to move off.
The system will progressively release the
rear brake to assist the rider in moving

How to Ride the Motorcycle
Parking
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
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).
124
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.
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Considerations for
High-Speed Operation
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 onroad 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.
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.
125
How to Ride the Motorcycle
Tyres
Engine Oil
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.
Make certain that the engine oil level is
correct. Ensure that the correct grade
and type of oil is used when topping up.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high-speed operation.
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.
126
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.
Accessories, Loading and Passengers
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.
127
Accessories, Loading and Passengers
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).
128
Accessories, Loading and Passengers
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.
129
Accessories, Loading and Passengers
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.

Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
Warning
2.
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.
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.
134
3.
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.
Motorcycles travelling approximately
10,000 miles per year must have the
annual
maintenance
and
the
specified mileage based items
carried out together.
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.

Engine Oil
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 openair or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
cbnz
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.
Caution
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.
Oil Level Inspection
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.
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.

Maintenance and Adjustment
Cooling System
Warning
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.
cbob
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.
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).
Note:
•
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.
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).

Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
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.
Coolant Level Adjustment
•
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.
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.
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.
Coolant Change
Have the coolant changed by an authorised Triumph dealer in accordance with
scheduled maintenance requirements.

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
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.
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.
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.

Maintenance and Adjustment
Clutch
The motorcycle is equipped with a
hydraulically operated clutch that does
not require adjustment.
Clutch Fluid Level Inspection and
Adjustment
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.
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.
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

145
Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
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 offroad. 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.
146
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
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
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
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.

This model is equipped with tubeless
tyres, valves and wheel rims. Use only
tyres marked TUBELESS and tubeless
valves on rims marked SUITABLE FOR
TUBELESS TYRES.
cfhb_1
Warning
Typical Tyre Marking Tubeless Tyre
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 motorcycle 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.

Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
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.
Tyre Wear
cboa
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.
156
Maintenance and Adjustment
Minimum Recommended Tread
Depth
In accordance with the periodic
maintenance chart, measure the depth
of the tread with a depth gauge, and
replace any tyre that has worn to, or
beyond, the minimum allowable tread
depth specified in the table below:
Under 80 mph
(130 km/h)
2 mm (0.08 in)
Over 80 mph
(130 km/h)
Rear 3 mm (0.12 in)
Front 2 mm (0.08 in)
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.
157
Maintenance and Adjustment
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 nonapproved 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.
158
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
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 nonrecommended 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.
159
Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
160
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. Clipon 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.
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.
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.
162
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.
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.
Maintenance and Adjustment
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
an enclosed space.
The battery contains sulphuric acid
(battery acid). Contact with skin or
eyes may cause severe burns. Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
If battery acid gets on your skin, flush
with water immediately.
If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush
with water for at least 15 minutes and
SEEK
MEDICAL
ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
If battery acid is swallowed, drink large
quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Caution
Do not use an automotive quick
charger as it may overcharge and may
damage the battery and the
alternator.
163
Maintenance and Adjustment
Should the battery Voltage fall below
12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged
using a Triumph approved battery
charger. Always follow the instructions
supplied with the battery charger.
For extended periods of storage (beyond
two weeks) the battery should be
removed from the motorcycle and kept
charged using a Triumph approved
maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge fall
to a level where it will not start the
motorcycle, remove the battery from the
motorcycle before charging.
Battery Installation
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

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.

Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
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.
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.
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.
173
Maintenance and Adjustment
Note:
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.
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.
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.
Seat Care
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.
To help maintain its appearance, clean
the seat using a sponge or cleaning
cloth with soap and water.
174
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.
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
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:
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.
•
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.
Caution
The use of abrasive cleaners and
polishes will damage the system and
must not be used.
It is recommended that regular
protection be applied to the system as
this will both protect and enhance the
system's appearance.

Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
176
•
•
•
•
•
•
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
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.
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.
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.
177
Storage
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.
178
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.

on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect tyre pressures may cause loss of
motorcycle control leading to an accident.
Warning
The use of dual purpose tyres will result in reduced motorcycle stability. Always
operate a motorcycle equipped with dual purpose tyres at reduced speeds. The
permissible maximum speed must be indicated by a sticker, positioned so that it is
clearly visible to the rider. Operation of the motorcycle above the permissible
maximum speed may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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.
2.
this device may not cause interference, and
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

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.
2.
l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si
le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
