Brakes; Tyres; Fuel; Engine Oil - Triumph America Handbook

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.

Tyres

High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and
good tyres are crucial for riding safely.
Examine their overall condition, inflate to the
correct pressure (when the tyres are cold),
and check the wheel balance. Securely fit the
valve caps after checking tyre pressures.
Observe the information given in the
Maintenance and Specification sections on
tyre checking and tyre safety.

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel
consumption experienced during high-speed
operation.
The exhaust system is fitted with a catalytic
converter to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle is
allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level
is allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.
