Caution
The ignition and steering lock keys are
different.
However, on some models the ignition and
steering lock keys will fit either lock, but
the keys will only operate their respective
locks.
Do not use the ignition key in the steering
lock, or the steering lock key in the ignition
switch as doing so may damage or break
the key or the steering lock/ignition switch.
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.
General Information
A transponder is fitted within the ignition
keys to turn off the engine immobiliser. To
ensure the immobiliser functions correctly,
always have only one of the ignition keys
near the ignition switch. Having two ignition
keys near the switch may interrupt the signal
between the transponder and the engine
immobiliser. In this situation the engine
immobiliser will remain active until one of the
ignition keys is removed.
Always get replacement keys from your
authorised Triumph dealer. Replacement keys
must be 'paired' with the motorcycle's
1
immobiliser by your authorised Triumph
dealer.
Do not store the spare key or key blade
with the motorcycle as this will reduce all
aspects of security.
