General Information
Heat Shield (Thruxton only)
1. Heat shield
Heat shields are fitted to the cylinder head,
on both sides of the motorcycle. The shields
are fitted in order to protect the rider's knee
from potential contact with the cylinder head
which will be hot whenever the engine is
running and for a period afterwards.
Fuel
Fuel Grade
This Triumph motorcycle is designed to run
on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI
octane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or higher.
Federal regulations require that pumps
delivering unleaded gasoline are marked
'UNLEADED' and that the Cost of Living
Council (CLC) or Anti-Knock Index (AKI)
octane rating is also displayed. These ratings
are an average of the Research Octane
Number (RON) and the Motor Octane
Number (MON).
Warning
Never remove the heat shields from the
cylinder head and always repair or replace
the heat shields if they become damaged
or detached.
Removal of either heat shield may lead to
contact of the rider's leg with hot engine
parts. Contact with hot engine parts may
lead to burns and other skin damage.

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 gasoline is illegal in
some countries, states or territories. Use of
leaded fuel will damage the catalytic
converter.
