General Information
Fuel Requirement/
Refuelling
Fuel Grade
Your
Triumph
engine is
designed
to use
unleaded fuel and will give optimum
performance if the correct grade of
fuel is used. Always use unleaded
fuel with an octane rating of 95 RON.
Caution
In all countries, except Australia,
Hong Kong, New Zealand, and
South Africa the exhaust system
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.
Caution
The use of leaded fuel is illegal in
most countries, states or
territories. Use of leaded fuel will
damage the catalytic converter (if
fitted).
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.
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.
