unbelievable amount of information. In the service manual I printed over 500 pages (single sided) before the site would not let me print any more. I still had time and full access to the manual They just cut off the print feature. It was not a printer problem as I test printed material from other internet sites.

I'll bet if you took those 500 pages to a copying facility, you could sell a bunch of 'em and that includes me.

It is not illegal to print the literature from the TriTun Triumph site. You pay for a block of time and get access to the service literature you want. There are a lot of different Triumph models listed going back many years. You can print the literature (I printed over 500 single sided pages for the 2016 Thruxton R) before something happened between my computer & the TriTun site. I was unable to finish printing the rest of the manual although I could still access the information. Have not contacted Triumph about the problem yet as I have other priorities right now. Sorry guys, this is copyrighted material and I had to agree not to reproduce it. When I get time to straighten out the problem and finish copying all the service information including service bulletins I will take the pile of single sided copies to a print shop and have them re-copied as double sided pages. Guys it is not that expensive to get access to the literature you want for one day and copy it. It helps to have a high speed internet connection and a decent copier.

This is the future guys. I have a 2016 BMW R1200RTW and there is no printed service manual for it either. The BMW dealer service techs (like the Triumph dealer service techs) have access to the literature online. I bought a Hanes manual for the BMW but it is a poor substitute for the factory BMW service literature. At least Triumph gives you access to the same factory literature as the dealer (at a price). Our only choice is the Triumph Tri-Tune website. Even the dealers have to pay for it according to my dealer. If enough Triumph customers complained to Triumph like I did we "might" get at least a break in the price.

From a Mac you can print to PDF. You want to use Firefox as it will automatically fill in the correct PDF file name and title. Turn off headers and footers during printing and you'll be good to go. I printed the entire manual to PDF... it took more than a few hours. The only tricky part is getting the circuit diagrams legible. To do this, I viewed them in full screen mode and set a custom paper size of 22x17.
Triumph really should just sell be manual in Pdf form instead of this online nonsense.

Yes it does suck but that is reality. If you think this is bad try to get a service manual disc from BMW. I bought a used 2015 BMW K1300s motorsports. Beautiful bike but I am still trying to get the service manual disc from BMW. Even if you get one the they are very difficult to use and this is the same literature BMW tech have to work with. Example: I wanted the color coding for the stick coils so we could do a baseline dyno for the stock bike. I got the local BMW dealer tech to find the information but it took him 15 minutes. There is no complete wiring diagram it is in small sections and you have to wade through a bunch of them to find what you want. Imagine trying to trouble shoot a electrical problem and having to piece together or follow a circuit through 5 or 6 separate locations on the service disc.

If you purchase Triumph original products, there is an instruction manual for each individual item.
Go to the website with the part no and it does give full instructions for what you’re fitting.

That is true for OEM ACCESSORIES. They are high quality, fit, and include good instructions for instillation. However many of us would like to do our own maintenance and repairs especially when the warranty expires. It is no SERVICE MANUAL for service & repair that we are objecting to. Of course you can go on the Triumph TriTune site and RENT the manual ONLINE for a specified amount of time.
