How To Ride The Motorcycle
Warning
WHEN BRAKING,
FOLLOWING:
Close the throttle completely, leaving
the clutch engaged to allow the engine
to help slow down the 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.

applying the front and rear brakes as
hard as possible without skidding.
Riders should
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.
Warning
For your safety,
extreme caution
(whether or not
accelerating or
incautious action can cause loss of
control and an accident. Independent
use of the front or rear brakes reduces
overall braking performance. Extreme
braking may cause either wheel to lock,
reducing control of the motorcycle and
causing an accident (see ABS warnings
below).
When possible, reduce speed or brake
before entering a turn as closing the
throttle or braking in mid-turn may
cause wheel slip leading to loss of
control and an accident.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions,
or on loose surfaces, the ability to
manoeuvre and stop will be reduced.
All of your actions should be smooth

acceleration, braking or turning may
cause loss of control and an accident.
