choosing a profile

[shrory]

so. i have set up profile one and profile two. how do i activate (if that is the correct phrase) ether one when i start the bike. or am i just a thick brit.
also profile two has rider and pillion, but no luggage? can the luggage loading be added somewhere else?

So I'm relying on memory here.... You hold down the "i" button until the window with the many choices appears. Scroll down (using the info up/down button) to the profile you want (profile one or profile two, also using the toggle button). Press the "i" button again and a window opens that has "load" on the second line (under the helmet icon). Press the "i" button and it will start a "calibration or calibrating" yellow light on the left gauge. Although it doesn't have a bag symbol I believe it takes this into it's calibration cycle. It does say how to do this in the owners manual, just saying.....

From the Owners Manual ( TES ) :

The three LOADING (pre-load) options available are:
• 1UP;
• 1UP+LUGGAGE;
• 2UP.

I've always wondered why there is no option for 2 + luggage??

[Coconut]

It's an interesting one - and ( IMHO ) is not explained very well in the Owners Handbook ...

So, this is pure speculation on my part     :

I can only assume that the 1 UP + Luggage setting , means Rider + FULL Luggage.
"Full" luggage would be panniers and top box loaded with 10Kgs in each.

"IF" 1 UP ( without Luggage ) means Panniers and Top Box fitted but empty,
then I'm guessing that when you put a pillion on the back ( average weight of, say 90 Kgs = 200 lbs approx ),
there's not going to be a lot of difference in the handling whether you have another 30lbs of luggage in the panniers and top box or not, so to have a fourth option of 2 UP + Luggage wouldn't make much difference.

I'd also guess that the 2 UP Setting has a built in allowance for at least "some" luggage -
I can't remember ever seeing a Trophy 2 UP without the Panniers or Top box fitted,
and I doubt there are many riding around 2 UP with completely empty luggage either

I think that is very well reasoned Coconut and entirely logical....

[w8d4it]

Well reasoned I suppose but for some when they add a female pillion the extra luggage that said female pillion adds far outweighs the 30 pounds of luggage you cite as normal.  In fact when I bring my daughter along I sometimes wonder if the panniers and top box can hold the extra weight.  The weight of my daughter is negligible compared to weight of her luggage

.... the extra luggage that said female pillion adds far outweighs the 30 pounds of luggage ...

Being VERY carefull what I say here - I don't usually get involved in discussions
about women and weight, either theirs or their luggage !   

( As for me - I'm not overweight - but I should be 7'10" tall  )

The 10Kgs referred to for each pannier and Top Box, are Triumph's stated maximum load capacity,
so that's what they'll have used in calculating the various Pre-Load settings
