Maintenance
Warning
Never attempt to clean the windscreen
while the motorcycle is in motion as
releasing the handlebars may cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Operation of the motorcycle with a
damaged or scratched windscreen will
reduce the rider's forward vision. Any
such reduction in forward vision is
dangerous and may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Caution
Corrosive chemicals such as battery
acid will damage the windscreen. Never
allow corrosive chemicals to contact
the windscreen.
Caution
Products such as window cleaning
fluids, insect remover, rain repellent,
scouring compounds, petrol or strong
solvents such as alcohol, acetone,
carbon tetrachloride, etc. will damage
the windscreen.
Never allow these products to contact
the windscreen.
Clean the windscreen with a solution of
mild soap or detergent and lukewarm
water.
After cleaning, rinse well and then dry
with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the transparency of the windscreen is
reduced by scratches or oxidation which
cannot be removed, the windscreen
must be replaced.

Care of Leather Products

We recommend that you periodically
clean your leather products with a
damp cloth and allow them to dry
naturally at room temperature. This will
maintain the appearance of the leather
and ensure the long life of your product.
Your Triumph leather product is a
natural product and lack of care can
result in damage and permanent wear.
Follow these simple instructions and
give your leather product the respect it
deserves:
• Do not use household cleaning
products,
containing bleach or any kind of
solvent to
product.
• Do not immerse
product in water.
• Avoid direct heat from fires and
radiators which can dry out and
distort the leather.
• Do not leave your leather product
in direct sunlight for prolonged
periods of time.
• Do not dry your leather product by
applying direct heat to it at any
time.
• If your leather product does get
wet, absorb any excess water with
a soft clean cloth then leave the
product to dry naturally at room
temperature.
• Avoid exposure of your leather
product to high levels of salt, for
example sea/salt water or road
surfaces that have been treated
during the winter for ice and snow.
