How to Ride the Motorcycle
89
• 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.
• Make sure that the side stand is
fully retracted before riding off.
• Do not leave the switch in the P
position for long periods of time as
this will discharge the battery.
Note
When parking near traffic at night,
or when parking in a location where
parking lights are required by law, leave
the tail, license plate and position lights
on by turning the ignition switch to P
(PARK).
Considerations for High
Speed Operation
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road traveled.
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
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.
