Safety First

The Motorcycle

Warning

Bonneville Bobber

This motorcycle is designed for use

as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of

carrying a rider on his/her own.

Operation of this motorcycle with a

passenger is dangerous and could lead

to loss of control and an accident.

The total weight of the rider,

accessories and luggage must not

exceed the maximum load limit stated

in the Specifications section.

Warning

Bonneville Speedmaster

This motorcycle is designed for use

as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of

carrying a rider on his/her own, or a

rider and one passenger (subject to a

passenger seat, passenger handhold

and footrests being fitted).

The total weight of the rider,

accessories and luggage must not

exceed the maximum load limit stated

in the Specifications section.

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for on-

road use only. It is not suitable for off-

road use.

Off-road operation could lead to loss

of control of the motorcycle resulting

in an accident causing injury or loss of

life.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow

a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar.

Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer

may result in loss of control and an

accident.

Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when

refuelling.

Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap

while smoking or in the vicinity of any

open (naked) flame.

Take care not to spill any petrol on

the engine, exhaust pipes or silencers

when refuelling.

If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or

allowed to get into the eyes, seek

immediate medical attention.

Spillage on the skin should be

immediately washed off with soap and

water and clothing contaminated with

petrol should immediately be removed.

Burns and other serious skin

conditions may result from contact

with petrol.

Warning

Never start the engine or run the

engine in a confined area.

Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can

cause loss of consciousness and death

within a short period of time.

Always operate the motorcycle in the

open air or in an area with adequate

ventilation.

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both

rider and passenger (on models where

carrying a passenger is permitted)

must always wear appropriate clothing

including a motorcycle helmet, eye

protection, gloves, boots, trousers

(close fitting around the knee and

ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket.

During off-road use (on models

suitable for off-road use), the rider

must always wear appropriate clothing

including trousers and boots.

Brightly coloured clothing will

considerably increase a rider's

(or passenger's) visibility to other

operators of road vehicles.

Although full protection is not possible,

wearing correct protective clothing

can reduce the risk of injury when

riding.

Safety First

Warning

A helmet is one of the most important

pieces of riding gear as it offers

protection against head injuries. You

and your passenger's helmet should

be carefully chosen and should

fit you or your passenger's head

comfortably and securely. A brightly

coloured helmet will increase a rider's

(or passenger's) visibility to other

operators of road vehicles.

An open face helmet offers some

protection in an accident though a full

face helmet will offer more.

Always wear a visor or approved

goggles to help vision and to protect

your eyes.

Parking

Warning

Always switch off the engine and

remove the ignition key before

leaving the motorcycle unattended.

By removing the key, the risk of use

of the motorcycle by unauthorised or

untrained persons is reduced.

When parking the motorcycle, always

remember the following:

- Engage first gear to help prevent the

motorcycle from rolling off the stand.

- The engine and exhaust system

will be hot after riding. DO NOT park

where pedestrians, animals and/

or children are likely to touch the

motorcycle.

- Do not park on soft ground or on

a steeply inclined surface. Parking

under these conditions may cause

the motorcycle to fall over.

For further details, please refer to the

'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section of

this Owner's Handbook.

Safety First

Parts and Accessories

Warning

Owners should be aware that the

only approved parts, accessories

and conversions for any Triumph

motorcycle are those which carry

official Triumph approval and are fitted

to the motorcycle by an authorised

dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous

to fit or replace parts or accessories

whose fitting requires the dismantling

of, or addition to, either the electrical

or fuel systems and any such

modification could cause a safety

hazard.

The fitting of any non-approved

parts, accessories or conversions may

adversely affect the handling, stability

or other aspect of the motorcycle

operation that may result in an

accident causing injury or death.

Triumph does not accept any liability

whatsoever for defects caused by

the fitting of non-approved parts,

accessories or conversions or

the fitting of any approved parts,

accessories or conversions by non-

approved personnel.

Triumph does not accept any liability

whatsoever for defects caused by

the fitting of non-approved parts,

accessories or conversions or the fitting

of any approved parts, accessories or

conversions by non-approved personnel.

Maintenance and Equipment

Warning

Consult your authorised Triumph

dealer whenever there is doubt as to

the correct or safe operation of this

Triumph motorcycle.

Remember that continued operation of

an incorrectly performing motorcycle

may aggravate a fault and may also

compromise safety.

Warning

Make sure all equipment that is

required by law is installed and

functioning correctly.

The removal or alteration of the

motorcycle’s lights, silencers, emission

or noise control systems can violate

the law.

Incorrect or improper modification may

adversely affect the handling, stability

or other aspect of the motorcycle

operation, which may result in an

accident causing injury or death.

Warning

If the motorcycle is involved in an

accident, collision or fall, it must be

taken to an authorised Triumph dealer

for inspection and repair.

Any accident can cause damage to

the motorcycle that, if not correctly

repaired, may cause a second accident

that may result in injury or death.
