FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST

Warning

The Motorcycle

This motorcycle is fitted with a catalytic

The Tiger Explorer is designed for on-road use and light off road use. Extreme off-road use could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

This motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar. Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of control and an accident.

This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his/her own, or a rider and one passenger.

The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of 222 kg (489 lb).

converter below the engine, which along with the exhaust system reaches very high temperature during engine operation. Flammable materials such as grass, hay/straw, leaves, clothing and luggage etc. could ignite if allowed to come into contact with any part of the exhaust system and catalytic converter; always ensure flammable materials are not allowed to contact the exhaust system or catalytic converter.

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes Helmet and Clothing

PETROL IS H IGHLY 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 open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation.

When riding the motorcycle, both rider and passenger must always wear a motorcycle helmet, boots, eye protection, gloves, 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.

Foreword - Safety First

Warning

Parking Parts 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 aspect of the motorcycle 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.

Foreword - Safety First

Warning

Maintenance/Equipment Riding

Consult your authorised Triumph dealer whenever there is doubt as to the correct or safe operation of this Triumph motorcycle.

Remember that continued operation of 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 violate the law. Incorrect or improper modification may adversely affect the handling, stability or other aspect of the motorcycle operation, which may result in an accident causing injury or death.

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident, collision or fall, it must be taken to an authorised Triumph dealer for inspection and repair. Any accident can cause damage to the motorcycle that, if not correctly repaired, may cause a second accident that may result in injury or death.

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 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.

Foreword - Safety First

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be 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.

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

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.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - If Fitted

The daily check of tyre pressures must not be excluded because of the fitment of the TPMS. Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold and using an accurate tyre pressure gauge (see page 111 ).

Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Function

Tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the front and rear wheels. These sensors measure the air pressure inside the tyre and transmit pressure data to the instruments. These sensors will not transmit the data until the motorcycle is travelling at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km). Two dashes will be visible in the display area until the tyre pressure signal is received.

An adhesive label will be fitted to the wheel rim to indicate the position of the tyre pressure sensor, which is near the valve.

For motorcycles without the tyre pressure monitoring system fitted: The

tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an accessory fitted item and must be fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer. The TPMS display on the instruments will only be activated when the system has been fitted.

TPMS symbol

With the ignition switch turned to the ON position, if the TPMS symbol flashes for 10 seconds and then remains on there is a fault with the TPMS system. Contact your authorised Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.

Tyre Pressures

The tyre pressures shown on your instrument panel indicate the actual tyre pressure at the time of selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation pressure set when the tyres are cold because tyres become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tyre to expand and the inflation pressure to increase. The cold inflation pressures specified by Triumph take account of this.

Owners must only adjust tyre pressures when the tyres are cold using an accurate tyre pressure gauge (see page 111 ), and must not use the tyre pressure display on the instruments.

The tyre pressure monitoring system is not to be used as a tyre pressure gauge when adjusting the tyre pressures. For correct tyre pressures, always check the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold and

using an accurate tyre pressure gauge (see page 111 ).

Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Replacement Tyres

When replacing tyres, always have an authorised Triumph dealer fit your tyres and ensure they are aware that tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the wheels (see page 113 ).

Triumph Traction Control - If Fitted

Triumph traction control is not a substitute for riding appropriately for the prevailing road and weather conditions. The traction control cannot prevent loss of traction due to:

• excessive speed when entering turns;

• accelerating at a sharp lean angle;

• braking.

Traction control can not prevent the front wheel from slipping.

Failure to observe any of the above may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

If fitted, this Triumph model has traction control to help maintain traction when accelerating on wet/slippery road surfaces. If sensors detect that the rear wheel is losing traction (slipping), the traction control system will engage and alter the engine power until traction to the rear wheel has been restored. The traction control warning light will flash while it is engaged and the rider may notice a change to the sound of the engine.

Note:

• Traction control will not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS system. The warning lights for the ABS, traction control and the MIL will be illuminated.
