Parking - Triumph Street Triple S Owner's Handbook Manual

How To Ride The Motorcycle
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS equipped braking system. Do
not continue to ride for longer than is
necessary with the indicator light
illuminated. In the event of a fault,
contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified. In this situation,
braking too hard will cause the wheels
to lock resulting in loss of control and
an accident.
Warning
The ABS warning light will illuminate
when the rear wheel is driven at high
speed for more than 30 seconds when
the motorcycle is on a stand. This
reaction is normal.
When the ignition is switched off and
the motorcycle is restarted, the warning
light will illuminate until the motorcycle
reaches a speed exceeding 19 mph
(30 km/h).
Warning
The ABS system operates by comparing
the relative speed of the front and rear
wheels. Use of non-recommended tyres
can affect wheel speed and cause the
ABS function not to operate, potentially
leading to loss of control and an
accident in conditions where the ABS
would normally function.

Parking

Select neutral and turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
Select first gear.
Lock the steering to help prevent theft.
Always park on a firm, level surface to
prevent the motorcycle from falling. This
is particularly important when parking
off-road.
When parking on a hill, always park
facing uphill to prevent the motorcycle
from rolling off the stand. Engage first
gear to prevent the motorcycle from
moving.
On a lateral (sideways) incline, always
park such that the incline naturally
pushes the motorcycle towards the side
stand.
Do not park on a lateral (sideways)
incline of greater than 6° and never
park facing downhill.
Note:
• When parking near traffic at night,
or when parking in a location where
parking lights are required by law,
leave the tail, licence plate and
position lights on by turning the
ignition switch to P (PARK).
