Warning
WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Close the throttle completely, leaving
the clutch engaged to allow the
engine to help slow
motorcycle.
Change 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.
Change down or fully disengage the
clutch as necessary to keep the
engine from stalling.
Never lock the brakes, as this may
cause loss of control of the motorcycle
and an accident.
How to Ride the Motorcycle

1. Rear brake pedal
For emergency braking,
down changing, and concentrate on
applying the front and rear brakes as
hard as possible without skidding.
Riders should practice emergency
down the
braking in a traffic-free area (see ABS
warnings below/over).
Triumph strongly recommends that all
riders take a course of instruction,
which includes advice on safe brake
operation. Incorrect brake technique
could result in loss of control and an
accident.
