Moving Off - Triumph Bonneville Bobber Owner's Handbook Manual

How to Ride the Motorcycle
The low oil pressure warning light
should go out shortly after the engine
starts.
If the low oil pressure warning light
stays on after starting the engine,
stop the engine immediately and
investigate the cause.
Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause severe engine
damage.
To start the engine:
• Check that the engine stop switch is
in the RUN position.
• Make sure the transmission is in
neutral.
• Turn the ignition switch on.
• When the ignition is switched on,
the instrument
will illuminate and will then go off
(except those which normally remain
on until the engine starts - see
page 27).
• Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
• Leaving the throttle fully closed,
push the starter button until the
engine starts.
The motorcycle is equipped with starter
lockout switches. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
the transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
If the side stand is extended whilst the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of the clutch lever
position.
