Braking
Warning
WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
- Close the throttle completely, leaving
the clutch engaged to allow the
engine to help slow down the
motorcycle.
- Shift down one gear at a time such
that the transmission is in first gear

complete stop.
1. Front brake lever -
When stopping, always apply both
brakes at the same time. Normally
the front brake should be applied a
little more than the rear.
- Shift down or fully disengage the
1 clutch as necessary to keep the
engine from stalling.
-
Never lock the brakes, as this may
cause loss of control of the
motorcycle and an accident.
Warning
1. Rear brake pedal
For emergency braking, disregard
down shifting, and concentrate on
applying the front and rear brakes as
hard as possible without skidding.
Riders should practice emergency
braking in a traffic-free area.
Triumph strongly recommends that all
riders take a course of instruction,
which includes advice on safe brake
operation. Incorrect brake technique
could result in loss of control and an
accident.
