Moving Off; Changing Gears - Triumph Street Triple S Owner's Handbook Manual

Moving Off

Pull in the clutch lever and select first
gear. Open the throttle a little and let
out the clutch lever slowly. As the
clutch starts to engage, open the
throttle a little more, allowing enough
engine speed to avoid stalling.
How To Ride The Motorcycle

Changing Gears

1. Gear change pedal
Close the throttle while pulling in the
clutch lever. Change into the next higher
or lower gear. Open the throttle part
way, while releasing the clutch lever.
Always use the clutch when changing
gear.
Note:
• For models fitted with a quickshifter
refer to page 112.
Take care to avoid opening the throttle
too far or too fast in any of the lower
gears as this can lead to the front
wheel lifting from the ground (pulling a
wheelie) and to the rear tyre breaking
traction (wheel spin).
Always open the throttle cautiously,
particularly if you are unfamiliar with
the motorcycle, as a wheelie or loss of
traction will cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
