It is not suitable for off-road use. Off-road operation could lead to loss of control of the motorcycle resulting in an accident causing injury or loss of life. !! ! FUEL & EXHAUST FUMES WARNING: PETROL HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: IS 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. !! ! 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 control and an accident. WARNING: This motorcycle is designed for use as a two- wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his own, or a rider and one passenger (subject to a passenger seat being fitted). !! ! Take care not to spill any petrol on the engine, exhaust pipes or silencers when refuelling. If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or allowed to get into the eyes, seek immediate medical attention. Spillage on the skin should be immediately washed off with soap and water and clothing contaminated with petrol should immediately be removed. Burns and other serious skin conditions may result from contact with petrol. WARNING: Never start your engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in the open- air or in an area with adequate ventilation. !! ! The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of 195 kg (429 lbs). !! ! Page 4 Foreword - Safety First CRASH HELMET & CLOTHING WARNING: When riding the motorcycle both rider and passenger must always wear a crash helmet, eye protection, gloves, 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. !! ! HANDLEBARS & 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 control or an accident. !! ! WARNING: Footrests provided must always be used by rider and passenger 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. !! ! WARNING: A crash helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear as it offers protection against head injuries. You and your passenger's crash 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. Page 5 Foreword - Safety First 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 control and an accident. !! ! WARNING: This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road travelled. Operating a motorcycle at high speeds can be potentially dangerous since the time available to react to given traffic situations is greatly reduced as road speed increases. !! ! Always reduce speed in potentially hazardous driving conditions such as bad weather or heavy traffic. WARNING: Continually observe and react to changes in road surface, traffic and wind conditions. All two- wheeled vehicles are subject to external forces which may cause an accident. These forces include but are not limited to: S S S S !! WARNING: All riders must be licensed to operate the motorcycle. Operation of the motorcycle without a licence is illegal and could lead to prosecution. In addition, operation without a licence is dangerous and may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. !! ! Wind draft from passing vehicles. ! Uneven or holed road surfaces. Bad weather. Rider error. 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. !! !

Low Oil Pressure Display LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING If sufficient oil pressure is present, the display will not appear. With the engine running, if the oil pressure becomes dangerously low, the low oil pressure symbol in the temperature display will flash. In addition, the low oil pressure warning light in the tachometer will illuminate. CAUTION: Stop the engine immediately if the low oil pressure warning appears. Do not restart the engine until the fault has been rectified. Severe engine damage will result from running the engine when the low oil pressure warning light is illuminated !! 1. Coolant Temperature Gauge COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE The coolant temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. When the ignition is switched on, with the engine cold, the word `LO' will be displayed indicating that the coolant is below 40oC (114oF). Once the coolant temperature rises above 40oC (114oF), the temperature in degrees will be displayed. If the coolant temperature reaches 120oC (248oF) the high temperature warning in the temperature display, and the temperature read-out will both begin to flash. The warning light in the tachometer will also be illuminated. If the coolant temperature reaches 129oC (266oF) the high temperature warning in the temperature display will flash and the flashing word `HI' will appear in place of the temperature display. The warning light in the tachometer will also be illuminated. CAUTION: Do not continue to run the engine if the high temperature warnings are displayed as severe engine damage may result. The low oil pressure symbol will flash and the low oil pressure warning in the tachometer will illuminate if the ignition is switched on without running the engine. If the coolant temperature is below 40oC, the word `LO' will also appear in the display. This does not indicate low oil pressure. It does, however, indicate that the coolant temperature is low. ! Page 20 !! ! General Information WARNING LIGHTS INDICATORS: When the indicator switch is turned to left or right, the corresponding direction indicator light flashes on and off. HIGH BEAM: When the headlights are switched on and the headlight dip switch is set to `high beam', the high beam warning light will illuminate. LOW FUEL: The low fuel indicator will illuminate when there are approximately 5.0 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. NEUTRAL: The neutral warning light indicates when the transmission is in neutral (no gear selected). The warning light will illuminate when the transmission is in neutral with ignition switch in the `ON' position. ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT: The malfunction indicator light for the engine management system illuminates when the ignition is switched on, remains illuminated during starting, and goes out shortly after the engine starts. If the malfunction indicator light becomes illuminated during riding, a fault has occurred in the engine management system. In this case the system will switch to `limp-home' mode so that riding may continue. Contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked out and rectified. WARNING: Do not continue to ride for a long period with the malfunction indicator light illuminated. The fault which has occurred may affect engine performance and fuel consumption. Reduced engine performance could cause a dangerous riding condition, leading to loss of control and an accident !! ! Page 21 General Information 3 4 1 2 1 5 TEC0010 TEC0011 1. Key Number Tag IGNITION KEY In addition to operating the steering lock/ignition switch, the ignition key is required to operate the seat lock and fuel tank cap. When the motorcycle is delivered from the factory, two keys are supplied together with a small tag bearing the key number. Make a note of the key number and store the spare key and key number tag in a safe place away from the motorcycle. Your authorised Triumph dealer can supply a replacement key cut from details of the key number or can cut a new key using the original as a master. CAUTION: Do not store the spare key with the motorcycle as this will reduce all aspects of security. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Triangular Reference Mark BRAKE LEVER ADJUSTER An adjuster is fitted to the front brake lever. The adjuster allows the distance from the handlebar to the brake lever to be changed to one of four positions, to suit the span of the operator's hands. To adjust the lever, push the lever forward and turn the adjuster wheel to align one of the numbered positions with the triangular mark on the lever holder. The distance from the hand grip to the released lever is shortest when set to number four and longest when set to number one. WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust the brake lever with the motorcycle in motion as this may lead to loss of control and an accident. After adjusting the lever, operate the motorcycle in an area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the new lever setting. Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as they may change the lever setting from the one you are familiar with causing loss of control or an accident. !! ! WARNING: For reasons of security and safety, always turn the ignition to `OFF' and remove the key when leaving the motorcycle unattended. Any unauthorised use of the motorcycle may cause injury to the user, other road users and pedestrians and may also cause damage to the motorcycle. !! ! WARNING: With the key in the `LOCK' or `P' position the steering will become locked. Never turn the key to `Lock' or `P' while the motorcycle is moving as the steering will lock. Locked steering will cause loss of control and an accident. !! ! Page 23 General Information Starter Button The starter button operates the electric starter. For the starter to operate, the transmission must be in neutral and the clutch lever pulled to the handlebar. NOTE: S Even if the clutch lever is pulled in, the starter will not operate if the side stand is down and a gear is engaged. 1. Engine Stop Switch 2. Starter Button RIGHT HANDLEBAR SWITCHES Engine Stop Switch In addition to the ignition switch being turned to the `ON' position, the engine stop switch must be in the position for the motorcycle to operate. The engine stop switch is for emergency use. If an emergency arises which requires the engine to be stopped, move the engine stop switch to the position.

When refuelling, turn the ignition switch to the `OFF' position. !! ! 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 95 RON. CAUTION: In many countries, the exhaust systems for this model is fitted with catalytic converters to help reduce exhaust emission levels. The catalytic converters 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. !! ! Do not smoke. 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 locked. Because petrol (fuel) is highly flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to observe the safety advice given above will lead to a fire hazard which could cause damage to property, injury to persons or death. CAUTION: The use of leaded petrol is illegal in some countries, states or territories. Use of leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter. !! ! Page 26 General Information 2 1 TEC015 1.

Because petrol (fuel) is highly flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to observe the safety advice given above will lead to a fire hazard which could cause damage to property, injury to persons or death. Petrol (fuel) spilled near to or on the tyres will reduce the tyre's ability to grip the road. This will give rise to a dangerous riding condition causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident. Page 27 General Information 1. Side Stand STAND Side Stand The motorcycle is equipped with a side stand on which the motorcycle can be parked. Whenever the stand is used, before riding, always ensure that the stand is fully up after first sitting on the motorcycle. For instructions on safe parking, refer to the 'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section WARNING: The motorcycle is fitted with an interlock system to prevent it from being ridden with the sidestand in the down position. Never attempt to ride with the sidestand down or interfere with the interlock mechanism as this will cause a dangerous riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. !! ! 1. Handbook Location TOOL KIT The tool kit is strapped into a recess beneath the seat. HANDBOOK STORAGE To gain access to the handbook, remove the rear seat (as described elsewhere in this section). The handbook is located in a recess in the rear mudguard. NOTE: S When using the side stand, always turn the handlebars fully to the left and leave the motorcycle in first gear. Page 28 General Information 1. Front Seat Fixing Locations SEAT LOCK NOTE: S When delivered from the factory, the motorcycle is supplied with a rear seat and a rear cover. Either of these separate parts may be fitted according to rider preference. The process for removal and fitment of either the seat or cover is the same. 1. Rear seat/cover lock To detach the rear seat/cover, lift the rear of the seat/cover and slide it rearwards. To refit the rider seat, engage the front section of the seat to the fuel tank and secure the rear with the two fixings. Tighten the fixings to 9 Nm. To refit the rear seat/cover, engage the front section of the seat to the front of the space provided and press down on the rear to engage in the seat lock. NOTE: S An audible `click' can be heard when the rear seat/cover is correctly engaged in the lock. Two seats, or a rider seat and rear cover can be fitted to this motorcycle. Both can be removed independently. To remove the rider seat, gently push forward on the rear of the seat pad in order to expose the two seat fixings. Release the fixings, lift the rear of the seat and slide it rearwards to release it from the frame. The rear seat/cover is secured by a key-operated lock which is situated on the left hand side of the motorcycle.

WARNING: To prevent detachment of the rear seat/cover during riding, after fitting always grasp the seat/cover and pull firmly upwards. If the seat/cover is correctly secured in the lock, it will not detach from the rear frame. A loose or detached seat could cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident ! !! Page 29 General Information RUNNING IN Both during and after running in has been completed:S R.P.M. Do not over-rev the engine when cold. Do not let the engine labour. Always downshift 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. 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. During the first 500 miles (800 kilometres):S S S 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 speed. S S S S From 500 to 1000 miles (800 to 1500 kilometres):S Engine speed can gradually be increased to the rev limit for short periods.

Engine Stop Switch Starter Button Neutral Indicator Light On Position Ignition Switch Tachometer S S S S Ensure that the transmission is in neutral. Pull the clutch lever fully in to the handlebar. Turn the ignition switch on. The tachometer needle will sweep from zero to maximum engine speed and then return to zero. When it returns to zero, leaving the throttle completely closed, push the starter button until the engine starts. The starter will not operate until the tachometer needle reaches zero. TO STOP THE ENGINE S S S S S Support the motorcycle on a firm, level surface with the side stand. Close the throttle completely. Select neutral. Turn the ignition switch off. Lock the steering. NOTE: S CAUTION: The engine should normally be stopped by turning the ignition switch off. The engine stop switch is for emergency use only. Do not leave the ignition switched on with the engine stopped. Electrical damage may result. !! WARNING: Never start the engine or run the engine in a confined area. Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can rapidly cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in the open- air or in an area with adequate ventilation. !! ! TO START THE ENGINE ! S Check that the engine stop switch is in the run position. Page 34 How to Ride the Motorcycle CAUTION: Do not operate the starter continuously for more than 5 seconds as the starter motor will overheat and battery power will drop. Wait 15 seconds between each operation of the starter to allow for cooling and recovery of battery power. !! Do not let the engine idle for long periods as this may lead to overheating which will cause damage to the engine. CAUTION: The low oil pressure warning light should go out as soon as the engine starts. If the low oil pressure warning light stays on after starting the engine, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause. Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause severe engine damage. !! ! ! 1. Gear Change Pedal WARNING: Take care to avoid opening the throttle too far in any of lower gears as this can lead to the front wheel lifting from the ground (pulling a `wheelie') and the rear wheel breaking traction (wheel spin). Always open the throttle cautiously, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the motorcycle, as a `wheelie' will cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident. !! ! MOVING OFF S Pull in the clutch lever and select first gear. Open the throttle slightly 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. 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: S 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. CHANGING GEARS S WARNING: Do not change to a lower gear at speeds which will cause excessive engine rpm (r/min). This can lock the rear wheel causing loss of control and an accident. Engine damage may also be caused. Changing down should be done below 5000 rpm (r/min) for each gear. !! ! Page 35 How to Ride the Motorcycle 1. Front Brake Lever BRAKING WARNING: WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Close the throttle completely, leaving the clutch engaged to allow the engine to help slow down the motorcycle. Change down one gear at a time such that the transmission is in first gear when the motorcycle comes to a complete stop. !! ! 1. Rear Brake Pedal 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. Triumph strongly recommend that all riders take a course of instruction which includes advice on safe brake operation. Incorrect brake technique could result in loss of control and an accident. ! !! When stopping, always apply both brakes at the same time. 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. Never lock the brakes, as this may cause loss of control of the motorcycle and an accident. Page 36 How to Ride the Motorcycle WARNING: For your safety, always exercise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning as any incautious action can cause loss of 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. !! ! WARNING: When descending a long, steep gradient use engine braking by down- changing and use the brakes intermittently. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness. 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 drivers. It may also overheat the brake, reducing braking effectiveness. ! !! 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 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 control and an accident. 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. Page 37 How to Ride the Motorcycle WARNING: Do not park on a soft or on a steeply inclined surface as parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over. Ensure that the stand is fully retracted before riding off. 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. The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding. DO NOT park where pedestrians and children are likely to touch the motorcycle as touching any of the hot parts may cause unprotected skin to become burnt. PARKING When parking the motorcycle, observe the following: 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. When parking on a hill, always park facing uphill to prevent the motorcycle from rolling off the stand. On a lateral (sideways) incline, always park such that the incline naturally pushes the motorcycle towards the sidestand. Do not park on a lateral (sideways) incline of greater than 6_ and never park facing downhill. NOTE: S When parking near traffic at night, leave the licence plate and position lights on by turning the ignition switch to P (Park). Do not leave the switch in the `P' position for long periods as this will discharge the battery. S Page 38 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: 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. !! ! 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. Tyres High speed operation is hard on tyres, and good tyres are crucial for 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 maintenance and specification sections on tyre checking and tyre safety. WARNING: Only operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed course race tracks. 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 items listed 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. !! ! Page 39 How to Ride the Motorcycle Fuel Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuel consumption that will result from high speed operation. Engine Oil Make certain that the 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, turn signals, horn etc., all work properly. Miscellaneous Make certain that all fixings are tight and that all safety related parts are in good condition. Page 40 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. WARNING: Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding condition leading to 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. !! ! WARNING: Never ride an accessory equipped motorcycle at speeds above 80 mph (130 km/h). Speeds in excess of 130 km/h (80 mph) should not be attempted on an accessory equipped motorcycle even where the legal speed limit permits this. !! ! The presence of accessories will cause changes in the stability and handling of the motorcycle. Failure to allow for changes in motorcycle stability may lead to loss of control or an accident. Remember that the 130km/h (80mph) absolute limit will be reduced by the fitting of non- approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions. 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 race tracks. 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. !! ! !! ! 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 195 Kg (429 lbs). This maximum weight is made up from the combined weight of the rider, passenger and any load carried. WARNING: Do not install accessories or carry luggage that impairs the control of the motorcycle. Make sure that you have not adversely affected 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. !! ! Page 41 Accessories, Loading and Passengers 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. !! ! 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 control and an accident. !! ! Motorcycle operation without making allowances for the presence of a passenger could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident. WARNING: Your passenger should be thoroughly familiar with motorcycle operation. The passenger can cause loss of control of the motorcycle by incorrect positioning during cornering and sudden movements. !! WARNING: Never attempt to store any items between the frame and the fairing. This can restrict the steering and will cause loss of 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. !! ! It is important that the passenger sits still while the motorcycle is in motion and does not interfere with the operation of the motorcycle. ! If a passenger is carried, the rider should instruct the passenger to keep his or her feet on the passenger footrests and to firmly hold onto the seat strap or the rider's waist or hips. The passenger should also be advised to lean with the rider when travelling in corners and not to lean unless the rider does so. Do not carry animals on your motorcycle. WARNING: If the passenger seat is used to carry small objects, they must not exceed 5kg in weight, must not impair control of the motorcycle, must be securely attached and must not extend beyond the rear and sides of the motorcycle. Carriage of objects in excess of 5kg in weight, that are insecure, impair control or extend beyond the reasr and sides oif the motorcycle may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident ! !!

Filler Plug/Dipstick 3. Hash Marked Area Oil Level Inspection · · Stop engine, then wait for at least 10 minutes to allow the oil to settle. Remove the filler plug/dipstick, wipe the dipstick clean and screw the plug fully home in the clutch cover. The actual level is indicated when the motorcycle is upright, (not on the side stand) and when the filler plug/dipstick has been screwed fully home. Remove the filler plug/dipstick. The oil level is indicated by hash marks on the filler plug/dipstick. When full, the indicated oil level must be level with the top of the hash marked area. If the oil level is too low, add oil a little at a time through the dipstick/filler hole until the correct level is reached. Once the correct level is reached, fit and fully tighten the filler plug/dipstick. ENGINE OIL In order for the engine, transmission, and clutch to function correctly, maintain the engine oil at the correct level, and change the oil and oil filter in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. 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 loss of control and an accident. !! ! NOTE: · · · · · Page 49
