Braking

Warning
WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Close the throttle completely, leaving the
clutch engaged to allow the engine to help
slow down the motorcycle.
Shift 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.
Shift down or fully disengage the clutch as
necessary to keep the engine from stalling.
If the ABS is not functioning or has been
disabled (see page 34), never lock the
brakes, as this may cause loss of control of
the motorcycle and an accident.

1. Rear brake pedal
For emergency
downshifting, 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.
Incorrect brake technique could result in
loss of control and an accident.
Triumph strongly recommends that all riders
take a course of instruction, which includes
advice on safe brake operation.
