General Information

Ignition Key

1
T908010
1 Key Number Tag
The ignition key operates the ignition switch
only. A different key operates the steering
lock.
When the motorcycle is delivered from the
factory, two ignition keys are supplied
together with a small tag bearing the key
number. Make a note of the key number and
store the spare key and key number tag in a
safe place away from the motorcycle.
Your authorized Triumph dealer can supply a
replacement key cut from details of the key
number or can cut a new key using the
original as a master.
Caution
Do not store the spare key with the
motorcycle as this will reduce all aspects of
security.
