Ignition Key; Ignition Switch/Steering Lock; Ignition Switch Positions - Triumph Rocket III Handbook

Ignition Key

1. Steering lock
2. OFF position
3. ON position
4. LOCK position
5. PARK position
In addition to operating the steering lock/
ignition switch, the ignition key is required to
operate the seat lock and fuel tank cap.
When the motorcycle is delivered from the
factory, two keys are supplied together with a
small tag bearing the key number. Make a
note of the key number and store the spare
key and key number tag in a safe place away
from the motorcycle.
Your authorised Triumph dealer can supply a
replacement key cut from details of the key
number or can cut a new key using the
original as a master.
Caution
Do not store the spare key with the
motorcycle as this will reduce all aspects of
security.
General Information

Ignition Switch/Steering Lock

Ignition Switch Positions

This is a four position, key operated switch.
The key can be removed from the switch
only when it is in the OFF, LOCK or P (PARK)
position.
TO LOCK: Turn the key to the OFF position,
push and fully release the key, then rotate it
to the LOCK position.
PARKING: Turn the key from the LOCK
position to the P position. The steering will
remain locked.
Note:
• Do not leave the steering lock in
the P position for long periods of
time as this will cause the battery
to discharge.
Warning
For reasons of security and safety, always
move the ignition switch to the LOCK or P
position and remove the key, when leaving
the motorcycle unattended.
Any unauthorised use of the motorcycle
may cause injury to the rider, other road
users and pedestrians and may also cause
damage to the motorcycle.
