Warning Lights

Engine Management System Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) for the engine management system illuminates when the ignition is switched ON (to indicate that it is working) but should not become illuminated when the engine is running.

If the engine is running and there is a fault with the engine management system the MIL will be illuminated and the general warning symbol will flash. In such circumstances, the engine management system may switch to 'limp-home' mode so that the journey may be completed, if the fault is not so severe that the engine will not run.

Warning: Reduce speed and do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the MIL illuminated. The fault may adversely affect engine performance, exhaust emissions and fuel consumption.

Reduced engine performance could cause a dangerous riding condition, leading to loss of control and an accident.

Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

Note: If the MIL flashes when the ignition is switched ON contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the situation rectified. In these circumstances the engine will not start.

Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

With the engine running, if the engine oil pressure becomes dangerously low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate.

Caution: Stop the engine immediately if the low oil pressure warning light illuminates.

Do not restart the engine until the fault has been rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from running the engine when the low oil pressure warning light is illuminated.

Note: The low oil pressure warning light will illuminate if the ignition is switched ON without running the engine.

High Coolant Temperature Warning Light

With the engine running, if the engine coolant temperature becomes dangerously high, the high coolant temperature warning light will illuminate.

Caution: Stop the engine immediately if the high coolant temperature warning light illuminates. Do not restart the engine until the fault has been rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from running the engine when the high coolant temperature warning light is illuminated.

Engine Immobilizer / Alarm Indicator Light

This Triumph motorcycle is equipped with an engine immobilizer which is activated when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.

Not Equipped With Alarm

When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the engine immobilizer/alarm light will flash on and off for 24 hours to show that the engine immobilizer is on. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the engine immobilizer and the indicator light will be off.

If the indicator light remains on it indicates that the engine immobilizer has a malfunction that requires investigation. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

Equipped With Alarm

The engine immobilizer/alarm light will only illuminate when the conditions described in the genuine Triumph accessory alarm instructions are met.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Warning Light

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it is normal that the ABS warning light will flash on and off. The light will continue to flash after engine start-up until the motorcycle first reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h) when it will go off.

Note: Traction control will not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS. The warning lights for the ABS, traction control and the MIL will be illuminated.

The warning light should not illuminate again until the engine is restarted unless there is a fault.

If the warning light becomes illuminated at any time while riding it indicates that the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.

Warning: If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS equipped brake system.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning light illuminated.

Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified. In this situation braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light

The Traction Control (TC) indicator light is used to indicate that the traction control system is active and is working to limit rear wheel slip during periods of hard acceleration or under wet or slippery road conditions.

Warning: If the traction control is not functioning, care must be taken when accelerating and cornering on wet/ slippery road surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.

Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the engine management system Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and traction control warning lights illuminated.

Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked.

Hard acceleration and cornering in this situation may cause the rear wheel to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

If traction control is switched on:

• Under normal riding conditions the TC indicator light will remain off.

• The TC indicator light will flash rapidly when the traction control system is working to limit rear wheel slip during periods of hard acceleration or under wet or slippery road conditions.

If traction control is switched off:

• The TC indicator light will not illuminate. Instead the TC disabled warning light will be illuminated.

Note: Traction control will not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS system.

The warning lights for the ABS, traction control and the MIL will be illuminated.

Traction Control (TC) Disabled Warning Light

The TC disabled warning light should not illuminate unless traction control is switched off or there is a malfunction.

If the warning light becomes illuminated at any other time while riding, it indicates that the traction control system has a malfunction that requires investigation.

Turn Signals

When the turn signal switch is turned to the left or right, the indicator warning light will flash on and off at the same speed as the turn signals.

Hazard Warning Lights

To turn the hazard warning lights on or off, press and release the hazard warning light switch.

The ignition must be switched ON for the hazard warning lights to function.

The hazard warning lights will remain on if the ignition is switched to the PARK position, until the hazard warning light switch is pressed again.

High Beam Light

When the ignition is switched ON and the headlight dimmer switch is set to HIGH BEAM, the high beam warning light will illuminate.

Low Fuel Warning Light

The low fuel indicator will illuminate when there are approximately 1.19 gallon (4.5 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.

Neutral

  The neutral warning light indicates when the transmission is in neutral (no gear selected). The warning light will illuminate when the transmission is in neutral with the ignition switch in the ON position.

Tire Pressure Warning Light

Warning: Stop the motorcycle if the tire pressure warning light illuminates.

Do not ride the motorcycle until the tires have been checked and the tire pressures are at their recommended pressure when cold.

Note: TPMS is available as an accessory option on all models.

The tire pressure warning light works in conjunction with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

The warning light will only illuminate when the front or rear tire pressure is below the recommended pressure. It will not illuminate if the tire is over inflated.

When the warning light is illuminated, the TPMS symbol indicating which is the deflated tire and its pressure will automatically be shown in the display area.

1. TPMS symbol
2. Front tire indicator
3. Rear tire indicator
4. Tire pressure warning light
5. Tire pressure

The tire pressure at which the warning light illuminates is temperature compensated to 68ºF (20ºC) but the numeric pressure display associated with it is not. Even if the numeric display seems at or close to the standard tire pressure when the warning light is on, a low tire pressure is indicated and a puncture is the most likely cause.

Speedometer and Odometer

The speedometer indicates the road speed of the motorcycle.

The odometer shows the total distance that the motorcycle has travelled.

Tachometer

Caution: Never allow engine speed to enter the red zone as severe engine damage may result.

The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute - rpm (r/min). At the end of the tachometer range there is the red zone.

Engine speeds in the red zone are above maximum recommended engine speed and are also above the range for best performance.
