1Front brake lever
1 Rear brake pedal
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.
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.

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 recommends 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.
