General Information
Steering Lock Key
1. Steering lock key tag
The steering lock key operates the steering
lock only. A different key operates the ignition
switch.
When the motorcycle is delivered from the
factory, two steering lock 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.
Steering Lock
1. Steering lock
2. Steering lock cover
This is a two position, key operated lock. The
key can be removed in either the engaged or
disengaged positions.
To engage the lock, insert the key and push
the complete lock inwards while turning
anti-clockwise. At the same time turn the
handlebars fully left until the lock engages (at
which point the lock will turn and move
inwards).
Caution
Do not store the spare key with the
motorcycle as this will reduce all aspects of
security.
