Specification
Triumph are constantly seeking to improve the
specification, design and production of their motorcycles
and alterations take place accordingly.
While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy
of this Manual, it should not be regarded as an infallible
guide to current specifications of any particular
motorcycle.
Authorised Triumph dealers are not agents of Triumph
and have no authority to bind the manufacturer by any
expressed or implied undertaking or representation.
Replacement Parts
Only Triumph genuine parts should be used to service,
repair or convert Triumph motorcycles. To ensure that
Triumph genuine parts are used, always order parts,
accessories and conversions from an authorised
Triumph dealer. The fitting of non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions may adversely affect the
handling, stability or other aspects of the motorcycle
operation which may result in an accident causing
serious injury or death.
Always have Triumph genuine parts, accessories and
conversions fitted by an authorised Triumph dealer. The
fitment of parts, accessories and conversions by a dealer
who is not an authorised Triumph dealer may affect the
handling, stability or other aspects of the motorcycle
operation which may result in an accident causing
serious injury or death.
Always have Triumph approved parts, accessories and
conversions fitted by a trained technician. To ensure
that a trained technician is used, have an authorised
Triumph dealer fit the parts. The fitment of parts,
accessories and conversions by personnel other than a
trained technician at an authorised Triumph dealer may
affect the handling, stability or other aspects of the
motorcycle operation which may result in an accident
causing serious injury or death.
