The Motorcycle

Warning

The Tiger XR, Tiger XRX, Tiger XR

X-LRH (Low Ride Height),

Tiger XR

T, Tiger XC, Tiger XCX,

Tiger XC

X-LRH (Low Ride Height) and

Tiger XC

A are designed for on-road

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.

Warning

Tiger XRX-LRH and Tiger XCX-LRH

(Low Ride Height) Models

The Tiger XR

X-LRH and Tiger XCX-LRH

(Low Ride Height) motorcycles are equipped with lowered suspension and have reduced ground clearance.

As a result, the cornering banking angles that can be achieved by the Tiger XR

X-LRH and Tiger XCX-LRH are

reduced, when compared with the standard ride height Tiger XR

X and

Tiger XC

X models.

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.

Warning

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.

Foreword – Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

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:

Tiger XR - 222 kg (489 lb) Tiger XR

X – 219 kg (483 lb)

Tiger XR

X-LRH - 140 kg (308 lb)

Tiger XR

T - 213 kg (469 lb)

Tiger XC - 220 kg (485 lb) Tiger XC

X – 217 kg (478 lb)

Tiger XC

X-LRH - 221 kg (487 lb)

Tiger XC

A - 210 kg (463 lb).

Warning

This motorcycle is fitted with a catalytic converter below the engine, which along with the exhaust system reaches a 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.

Warning

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.

Warning

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.

Foreword – Safety First

Helmet and Clothing Riding

Warning

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.

Warning

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.

cbma

Warning

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.

Warning

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.

Warning

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

Handlebars and Footrests

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.

Warning

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.

Warning

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.

Warning

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.

Warning

The bank angle indicators must not be used as a guide to how far the motorcycle may be safely banked. This depends on many various conditions including, but not limited to, road surface, tyre condition and weather.

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

Foreword – Safety First

Parking

Warning

Use of a motorcycle with the bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit will allow the motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle.

The bank angle indicators have reached the maximum wear limit and should be replaced when they have worn down to a length of:

• 20 mm - All models except Tiger XC

• 25 mm - Tiger XCA only.

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

Warning

When banking and the bank angle indicator, attached to the rider's footrest, makes contact with the ground, the motorcycle is nearing its bank angle limit. A further increase of the banking angle is unsafe.

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

1. Bank angle indicator

Warning

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.

Foreword – Safety First

Parts and Accessories

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.

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

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 non-approved parts, accessories or conversions may adversely affect the handling, stability or other aspects of the motorcycle operation which may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

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.

Warning

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 loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

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.

General Information

Warning Lights

Note:

• When the ignition is switched on, the instrument warning lights will illuminate for 1.5 seconds and will then go off (except those which remain on until the engine starts, as described in the following pages).

Direction Indicators

When the direction indicator switch is pushed to the left or

right, the direction indicator light will flash on and off at the same speed as the direction indicators.

Neutral

The neutral warning light indicates when the transmission

is in neutral (no gear selected). The warning light will illuminate when the transmission is in neutral with the ignition switch in the ON position.

High Beam

When the ignition is switched on and the headlight dip switch is set to high beam, the high

beam warning light will illuminate.

Low Fuel

The low fuel indicator will illuminate when there are approximately 4.0 litres of fuel remaining in the tank.

Cruise Control Light (All Models Except Tiger XR und Tiger XC)

The cruise control can only be activated when the motorcycle

is travelling at a speed between 30to 100mph (48to 160km/h) and is in 4

gear or higher. When activated, the cruise control light in the tachometer will be illuminated (see page 57).

1. Cruise control light

Warning

Cruise control must only be used where you can ride safely at a steady speed.

Cruise control should not be used when riding in heavy traffic, on roads with sharp/blind bends or when they are slippery.

Using cruise control in heavy traffic, on roads with sharp/blind bends or when they are slippery, may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

General Information

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) Warning Light

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it is

normal that the ABS warning light will flash on and off. The light will continue to flash after engine start-up until the motorcycle first reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h) when it will go off.

Note:

• Cruise control and 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.

The warning light should not illuminate again until the engine is restarted unless there is a fault, or:

• ABS is switched off - the warning

light will remain illuminated.

• ABS is set to Off Road – the warning

light will flash slowly.

If the warning light becomes illuminated at any other time while riding it indicates that the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.

For details on how to select different ABS settings see:

• Riding Modes on page 47 for all models except Tiger XR und Tiger XC.

• ABS Disable on page 43 for Tiger XR and Tiger XC models only.
