New Triumph Owner Right Here

I am a new owner of a 2005 Speedmaster. It is a great bike, and I have really enjoyed riding. Does anyone know where I can get the owner's manual for it because I don't have it. I apologize if this belongs in another forum. Thanks in advance for your help.

A Haynes manual should tell you every thing you need to know

Someone here can probably email you a digital version of it.

The nearest dealership would be my next bet, then online. I bought the factory service manual for my t100 online, it came in a nice binder, but to be honest, I have found that Clymer manuals, or others like them, have actually had better information, for a lot less money.

The Triumph service manual seemed to be geared towards someone who already knows a lot about the bikes, where as the aftermarket service manuals spell out technical issues a little better, in my opinion.

I know you were asking about a simple owners manual, but thought I would add that little comment for you.

And I think a CONGRATULATIONS is in order!!!!!

Just in case, did you check the compartment under the seat.

Welcome! We are glad to have you here.

The triumph website has a downloadable version of the owners handbook for your bike, but buying a workshop manual is a good idea too.

Have fun on your bike and in the forums!

Welcome, and congrats on the bike. Mine did not come with the OM either (after checking under the seat to make sure). I ended up downloading one from the Triumph site (a member here was kind enough to provide the link).

I got the Haynes manual around the same time - tried Amazon at first (nice that they tell you after a few days that they can't provide it), but there always seems to be a few on Ebay.

There's a lot more detail in Haynes than in the OM.
