Tachometer (Where Fitted); Warning Lights; Direction Indicators; High Beam - Triumph Bonneville Handbook

General Information

Tachometer (where fitted)

The tachometer shows the engine speed in
revolutions per minute - rpm (r/min). On the
right side of the tachometer face is the 'red
zone'. Engine rpm (r/min) in the red zone is
above maximum recommended engine
speed and is also above the range for best
performance.
Caution
Never allow engine rpm to enter the 'red
zone' as severe engine damage may result.

Warning Lights

Direction Indicators

When the direction indicators are
switched on, the direction indicator warning
light will flash on and off at the same speed.

High Beam

When the headlights are switched
on and the headlight dip switch is
set to 'high beam', the high beam warning
light will illuminate.

Neutral

The neutral warning light indicates
when the transmission is in neutral
(no gear selected). The warning light will
illuminate when the transmission is in neutral
with the ignition switch in the ON position.
Engine Management
System Malfunction
Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light for the engine
management system illuminates when the
ignition is switched on (to indicate that it is
working) but should not become illuminated
when the engine is running.
If the malfunction indicator light becomes
illuminated when the engine is running, this
indicates that a fault has occurred in one or
more of the systems controlled by the engine
management system. In such circumstances,
the engine management system will switch to
'limp-home' mode so that the journey may
be completed, if the fault is not so severe that
the engine will not run.
