General Information
All motorcycles
Traction Control (TC). Traction control is
a system that helps to maintain traction
when accelerating on wet/slippery road
surfaces. If sensors detect that the rear
wheel is losing traction (slipping), the
traction control system will engage and
alter the engine power until traction to
the rear wheel has been restored.
The traction control indicator light will
flash while it is engaged and there may
be a change to the sound of the engine.
Optimized Cornering Traction
Control
If the Traction Control (TC) system is
not functioning, care must be taken
when accelerating and cornering on
wet/slippery road surfaces to avoid
rear wheel spin.
In the event of a fault, the TC disabled
warning light may be accompanied
by the engine management system
malfunction indicator light and/or the
ABS warning light.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is necessary with any of the above
if
warning lights illuminated. Contact an
authorized Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
Hard acceleration and cornering in this
situation may cause the rear wheel
to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
