Safety First

SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle

Warning

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.

Warning

Tiger XRX - LRH (Low Ride Height) Models

The Tiger 800 XRX - LRH 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 800 XRX - LRH are reduced, when compared with the standard ride height Tiger 800 XRX models.

Warning Continued

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 equipped with a sidecar.

Installing a sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of control and an accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on their 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 324 lb (147 kg).

Safety First

Warning

This motorcycle is equipped 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.

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when refueling.

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 gasoline on the engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers when refueling.

If gasoline 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 gasoline should immediately be removed.

Warning Continued

Burns and other serious skin conditions may result from contact with gasoline.

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 open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation.

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider and passenger must always wear a motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly colored jacket. Brightly colored 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.

Safety First

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 colored 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

When choosing a helmet, always look for a DOT (Department of Transport) sticker indicating that the helmet has DOT approval. Do not buy a helmet without DOT approval.

Riding

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 the motorcycle and may lead to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

All riders must be licensed to operate the motorcycle. Operation of the motorcycle without a license is illegal and could lead to prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without formal training in the correct riding techniques that are necessary to become licensed 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.

Safety First

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road traveled. 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

Ensure that you know and respect the rules of the road. Read and observe publications such as ‘MOTORCYCLE SAFETY’, ‘YOU AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE, RIDING TIPS’ and also read and become familiar with the contents of the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK for your state.

Caution

This Triumph motorcycle is not equipped with spark arresters. Operation in forests, brush or grass areas may violate state and local laws and regulations.

Wobble/Weave

A weave is a relatively slow oscillation of the rear of the motorcycle, while a wobble is a rapid, possibly strong shaking of the handlebar. These are related but distinct stability problems usually caused by excessive weight in the wrong place, or by a mechanical problem such as worn or loose bearings or under-inflated or unevenly worn tires.

Your solution to both situations is the same. Keep a firm hold on the handlebars without locking arms or fighting the steering. Smoothly ease off the throttle to slow gradually. Do not apply the brakes, and do not accelerate to try to stop the wobble or weave. In some cases, it helps to shift your body weight forward by leaning over the tank.

Safety First

Handlebars and Footrests

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 their 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, tire condition and weather.

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

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:

0.79 in (20 mm) - All models except Tiger 800 XCA

0.98 in (25 mm) - Tiger 800 XCA only.

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

Safety First

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

Parking

Warning

Always switch 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 unauthorized 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.

Safety First

Parts and Accessories

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 installed to the motorcycle by an authorized dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous to install or replace parts or accessories whose installation requires the dismantling of, or addition to, either the electrical or fuel systems and any such modification could cause a safety hazard.

The installation 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 installation of non-approved parts, accessories or conversions or the installation of any approved parts, accessories or conversions by non-approved personnel.

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Consult your authorized 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, mufflers, 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.

Warning

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident, collision or fall, it must be taken to an authorized 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.

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).

For additional warning and information messages, see page 39.

Instruments

Engine Management System Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) for the engine management system illuminates when the ignition is switched ON (to indicate that it is working) but should not become illuminated when the engine is running.

If the MIL becomes illuminated when the engine is running, this indicates that a fault has occurred in one or more of the systems controlled by the engine management system. In such circumstances, the engine management system will switch to 'limp-home' mode so that the journey may be completed, if the fault is not so severe that the engine will not run.

Warning

Reduce speed and do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the MIL illuminated. The fault may adversely affect engine performance, exhaust emissions and fuel consumption.

Reduced engine performance could cause a dangerous riding condition, leading to loss of control and an accident.

Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

Note:

• If the MIL flashes when the ignition is switched ON contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the situation rectified. In these circumstances the engine will not start.

Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

With the engine running, if the engine oil pressure becomes dangerously low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate.

Caution

Stop the engine immediately if the low oil pressure warning light illuminates. Do not restart the engine until the fault has been rectified.

Severe engine damage will result from running the engine when the low oil pressure warning light is illuminated.

Note:

• The low oil pressure warning light will illuminate if the ignition is switched ON without running the engine.

Low Fuel Warning Light

The low fuel warning light will illuminate when there is approximately 1 gallon (4 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.

Instruments

Immobilizer/Alarm Indicator Light

This Triumph motorcycle is equipped with an engine immobilizer which is activated when the ignition is switched off.

Not Equipped With Alarm

When the ignition is switched off, the immobilizer light will flash on and off for 24 hours to show that the engine immobilizer is on. When the ignition is switched on, the immobilizer and the indicator light will be off.

If the indicator light remains on it indicates that the immobilizer has a malfunction that requires investigation. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

Equipped With Alarm

The immobilizer/alarm light will only illuminate when the conditions described in the genuine Triumph accessory alarm instructions are met.

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) Warning Light

When the ignition is switched on, 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:

• Traction control will not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS. 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 the ABS is switched off - the warning light will remain illuminated.

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

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS equipped brake system. Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning light illuminated. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified. In this situation braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light

The TC indicator light is used to indicate that the traction control system is active and is working to limit rear wheel slip during periods of hard acceleration or under wet or slippery road conditions.

Instruments

Warning

If the traction control is not functioning, care must be taken when accelerating and cornering on wet/ slippery road surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin. Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the Engine Management System Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and traction control warning lights illuminated. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked.

Hard acceleration and cornering in this situation may cause the rear wheel to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

TC Indicator Light Operation:

TC Switched On:

• Under normal riding conditions the indicator light will remain off.

• The indicator light will flash rapidly when the traction control system is working to limit rear wheel slip during periods of hard acceleration or under wet or slippery road conditions.

TC Switched Off:

The indicator light will not illuminate. Instead the TC disabled warning light will be illuminated (see page 29).

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.

Traction Control (TC) Disabled Warning Light

The TC disabled warning light should not illuminate unless traction control is switched off or there is a malfunction.

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

Cruise Control Light

The cruise control can only be activated when the motorcycle is traveling at a speed between 19 to 100 mph (30 to 160 km/h) and is in 3

gear or higher. When activated, the cruise control light will be illuminated (see page 90).
