Moving Off - Triumph Street Twin Owner's Handbook Manual

How To Ride The Motorcycle
Check that the engine stop switch is in
the RUN position.
Make sure the transmission is in neutral.
Turn the ignition switch on.
Note:
• When the ignition is switched on,
the instrument warning lights will
illuminate and will then go off
(except those
remain on until the engine starts,
see page 29).
Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
Leaving the throttle fully closed, push
the starter button until the engine
starts.
The motorcycle is equipped with starter
lockout switches. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
the transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
If the side stand is extended whilst the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of the clutch lever
position.

Moving Off

Pull in the clutch lever and select first
gear. Open the throttle a little and let
out the clutch lever slowly. As the
clutch starts to engage, open the
throttle a little more, allowing enough
engine speed to avoid stalling.
