Daily Safety Checks - Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE Owner's Handbook Manual

General Information
Both during and after running-in has
been completed:
• Do not overrev the engine when
cold;
• Do not let the engine labour. Always
downshift before the engine begins
to 'struggle';
• Do not ride with engine speeds
unnecessarily high. Changing up a
gear helps reduce fuel consumption,
reduces noise and helps to protect
the environment.
