Maintenance and Adjustment
Caution
Do not use an automotive quick charger as
it may overcharge and damage the battery.
Should the battery Voltage fall below
12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged
using a Triumph approved battery charger.
Always follow the instructions supplied with
the battery charger.
For extended periods of storage (beyond two
weeks) the battery should be removed from
the motorcycle and kept charged using a
Triumph approved maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge fall to a
level where it will not start the motorcycle,
remove the battery from the motorcycle
before charging.

Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first.
Apply a light coat of grease to the terminals
to prevent corrosion.
Cover the positive terminal
protective cap.

The fuse boxes are located beneath the
rider's seat.
To allow access to the fuse boxes, the rider's
seat must be removed.
Always replace blown fuses with new ones
of the correct rating (as specified on the

higher rating. Use of an incorrect fuse

resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
