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

severe that the engine will not run.

WARNING
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with

illuminated. The fault may affect
engine performance, exhaust
emissions and fuel consumption.
The fault must be checked and
rectified by a competent person with
the specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.

If the MIL flashes when the ignition is

switched ON contact an authorised
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to
have the situation rectified. In these
circumstances the engine will not start.
