Steering Lock and Keys

Model Affected:

Scrambler 1200 XC, Scrambler 1200 XE

Please note the following points of information, as stated in the Owner's Handbook for the above
motorcycles.

Steering Lock

Caution
The motorcycle must not be ridden with the key in the steering lock or seat lock.
Always lock the seat and remove the key before riding the motorcycle.
In addition to the above Owner's Handbook caution, riding the motorcycle with the smart key in the steering
lock may result in an instrument warning message stating that the key fob is out of range. This is a known
occurrence, and does not signify any faults on the motorcycle.

Key Removal from the Steering Lock
To remove the key from the steering lock:
• Rotate the key clockwise slightly to disengage the retaining mechanism before it can be removed from
the lock.

Removing an Incorrect Key from the Steering Lock
• Locate the key release hole at the front of the steering lock.
• Push a suitable tool approximately 1.5 mm diameter into the key release hole.
• Rotate the key slightly left and right to release the key from the lock.

Neutral Position Adaption

Model Affected:

Street Twin from VIN 914793, Street Scrambler from VIN 914448, Thruxton TFC,
Speed Twin, Scrambler 1200 XC, Scrambler 1200 XE, Street Triple S 660 cc from VIN

The following information needs updating for the Service Manual for the above models.

Neutral Position Adaption
The neutral position adaption is required to allow for manufacturing tolerances of the gearbox and gear
position sensor. The motorcycle is delivered from the factory with the neutral position fully adapted.
The neutral position adaption must be reset and re-adapted under the following conditions:
• If a gear position sensor malfunction occurs (DTC P0914, P0915 where applicable, and P0917), see the
relevant Gear Position Sensor pinpoint test below.
• The gear position sensor has been removed or disconnected.

Adaption Reset
To reset the neutral position adaption:
1.
Connect the Triumph diagnostic tool and turn the ignition ON.
2. Make sure the engine stop switch is in the RUN (ON) position.

Re-Adaption

Warning
Exhaust fumes are poisonous, always operate a motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Do not operate a motorcycle in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.
Operating a motorcycle in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation can cause loss of consciousness
and death within a short period of time.
To re-adapt the neutral position:
1.
Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
2. Start the engine.
Note:
•

For successful and accurate adaption, The engine must be at normal idle speed and the gear change
pedal must be in its normal rested position.
During adaption, do not raise the engine speed and do not touch or move the gear change pedal.
The neutral position will adapt shortly after engine start provided the above conditions are met.
The adaption status can be confirmed by selecting GEAR POSITION ADAPTION STATUS on the Triumph
diagnostic tool.
