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 80mph (130km/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.
Warning
Owners should be aware that the only
approved parts, accessories and
conversions for any Triumph
motorcycle are those which carry
official Triumph approval and are fitted
to the motorcycle by an authorised
dealer.
In particular, it is extremely hazardous
to fit or replace parts or accessories
whose fitting requires the dismantling
of, or addition to, either the electrical
or fuel systems and any such
modification could cause a safety
hazard.
The fitting of any non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions may
adversely affect the handling, stability
or other aspect of the motorcycle
operation that may result in an
accident causing injury or death.
Triumph does not accept any liability
whatsoever for defects caused by the
fitting of non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions or the
fitting of any approved parts,
accessories or conversions by non-
approved personnel.
