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.
Warning
Never ride an accessory-equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the
stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
When riding at high speed, always be
aware that various motorcycle
configuration and environmental
factors can adversely affect the
stability of your motorcycle. For
example:
• Incorrectly balanced loads on both
sides of the motorcycle.
• Incorrectly adjusted front and
rear suspension settings.
• Incorrectly adjusted tyre
pressures.
• Excessively or unevenly worn
tyres.
• Side winds and turbulence from
other vehicles.
• Loose clothing.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will reduce by the fitting
of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall
motorcycle condition and poor road or
weather conditions.
