The Motorcycle
All Explorer models are designed for
on-road use and light off-road use.
Light off-road use includes use on
unpaved, dirt or gravel roads, but does
not include riding on any motocross
course, any off-road competition (such
as motocross or enduro riding), or
riding off-road with a passenger.
Light off-road use does not include
jumping the motorcycle or riding over
obstacles. Do not attempt to jump
over any bumps or obstacles. Do not
attempt to ride over any obstacles.
Extreme off-road use could lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Explorer XRX-LRH and
Explorer XC
The Explorer XR
Explorer XC
motorcycles are equipped with
lowered suspension and have reduced
ground clearance.
As a result, the cornering bank angles
that can be achieved by the
Explorer XR
are reduced, when compared with the
standard ride height Explorer XR
Explorer XC
When riding, bear in mind that your
motorcycle’s ground clearance is
limited. Operate your motorcycle in an
area free from traffic to gain
familiarity with the motorcycle’s
ground clearance and bank angle
limitations.
Banking to an unsafe angle or
unexpected contact with the ground
may cause instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes
PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
Always turn off the engine when
refuelling.
Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap
while smoking or in the vicinity of any
open (naked) flame.
Take care not to spill any petrol on the
engine, exhaust pipes or silencers
when refuelling.
If petrol is swallowed, inhaled or
allowed to get into the eyes, seek
immediate medical attention.
Spillage on the skin should be
immediately washed off with soap and
water and clothing contaminated with
petrol should immediately be removed.
Burns and other serious skin
conditions may result from contact
with petrol.
Never start your engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed area.
The exhaust fumes are poisonous and
may cause loss of consciousness and
death within a short time. Always
operate your motorcycle in the openair or in an area with adequate
ventilation.

Helmet and ClothingRiding
When riding the motorcycle, both rider
and passenger must always wear a
motorcycle helmet, boots, eye
protection, gloves, boots, trousers
(close fitting around the knee and
ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket.
Brightly coloured clothing will
considerably increase a rider's (or
passenger's) visibility to other
operators of road vehicles. Although
full protection is not possible, wearing
correct protective clothing can reduce
the risk of injury when riding.
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger's helmet should
be carefully chosen and should fit you
or your passenger's head comfortably
and securely. A brightly coloured
helmet will increase a rider's (or
passenger's) visibility to other
operators of road vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
Never ride the motorcycle when
fatigued or under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
Riding when under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs is illegal.
Riding when fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
reduces the rider's ability to maintain
control of motorcycle and may lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
All riders must be licenced to operate
the motorcycle. Operation of the
motorcycle without a licence is illegal
and could lead to prosecution.
Operation of the motorcycle without
formal training in the correct riding
techniques that are necessary to
become licenced is dangerous and
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Always ride defensively and wear the
protective equipment mentioned
elsewhere in this foreword. Remember,
in an accident, a motorcycle does not
give the same impact protection as a
car.

Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
Warning
Warning
Warning
Warning
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road travelled.
Operating a motorcycle at high speeds
can be potentially dangerous since the
time available to react to given traffic
situations is greatly reduced as road
speed increases. Always reduce speed
in potentially hazardous driving
conditions such as bad weather or
heavy traffic.
Continually observe and react to
changes in road surface, traffic and
wind conditions. All two-wheeled
vehicles are subject to external forces
which may cause an accident. These
forces include but are not limited to:
•Wind draft from passing vehicles
•Potholes, uneven or damaged road
surfaces
•Bad weather
•Rider error.
Always operate the motorcycle at
moderate speed and away from heavy
traffic until you have become
thoroughly familiar with its handling
and operating characteristics. Never
exceed the legal speed limit.
Foreword - Safety First
Handlebars and Footrests
The rider must maintain control of the
vehicle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a
motorcycle will be adversely affected if
the rider removes his hands from the
handlebars, resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
The rider and passenger must always
use the footrests provided, during
operation of the vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of
inadvertent contact with any
motorcycle components and will also
reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.

ParkingParts and Accessories
Always turn off the engine and
remove the ignition key before leaving
the motorcycle unattended. By
removing the key, the risk of use of
the motorcycle by unauthorised or
untrained persons is reduced.
When parking the motorcycle, always
remember the following:
Engage first gear to help prevent the
motorcycle from rolling off the stand.
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding. DO NOT park where
pedestrians, animals and/or children
are likely to touch the motorcycle.
Do not park on soft ground or on a
steeply inclined surface. Parking
under these conditions may cause the
motorcycle to fall over.
For further details, please refer to the
How to Ride the Motorcycle section of
this Owner's Handbook.
Owners should be aware that the only
approved parts, accessories and
conversions for any Triumph
motorcycle are those which carry
official Triumph approval and are fitted
to the motorcycle by an authorised
dealer.
In particular, it is extremely hazardous
to fit or replace parts or accessories
whose fitting requires the dismantling
of, or addition to, either the electrical
or fuel systems and any such
modification could cause a safety
hazard.
The fitting of any non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions may
adversely affect the handling, stability
or other aspects of the motorcycle’s
operation that may result in an
accident causing injury or death.
Triumph does not accept any liability
whatsoever for defects caused by the
fitting of non-approved parts,
accessories or conversions or the fitting
of any approved parts, accessories or
conversions by non-approved personnel.

an incorrectly performing motorcycle
may aggravate a fault and may also
compromise safety.
Ensure all equipment that is required
by law is installed and functioning
correctly. The removal or alteration of
the motorcycle's lights, silencers,
emission or noise control systems can

Riding Mode Configuration on
page 62).
General Information
If a fault occurs with optimised
cornering traction control, the TC
disabled warning light will illuminate
and the message TC SYSTEM CORNERING TC DISABLED will be
displayed in the multifunction display.
In this situation, the traction control
system will continue to operate but
without the optimised cornering
function, provided that:
•TC has no other faults
•TC has not been disabled by the
rider (see Bike Setup on page 50 or
Riding Mode Configuration on
page 62).
Care must be taken when accelerating
and cornering on wet/slippery road
surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.
The TC disabled warning light may be
accompanied by the engine
management system malfunction
indicator light and/or the ABS warning
light.
Do not continue to ride for longer
than is necessary with any of the
above warning lights illuminated.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified.
Hard acceleration and cornering in
this situation may cause the rear
wheel to spin resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
See also Traction Control on page 82.

of hard acceleration or under wet or
slippery road conditions.

Settings):
•Under normal riding conditions the

when the TC system is working to
limit rear wheel slip during periods of
hard acceleration or under wet or
slippery road conditions.
TC Switched On (Off-Road Setting if equipped):
•Under normal riding conditions, the
indicator light will flash slowly to
indicate that the TC system is set to
Off-Road.
•The TC indicator light will flash
rapidly when the TC system is
working to limit rear wheel slip
during periods of hard acceleration
or under wet or slippery conditions.
