Foreword – Safety First

FOREWORD – SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle

Warning

The Tiger XRX and Tiger XCX are designed for on-road and light offroad 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.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be installed 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 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

X – 483 lb (219 kg)

Tiger XC

X – 478 lb (217 kg).

Warning

This motorcycle is installed with a catalytic 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.

Foreword – Safety First

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.

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 openair or in an area with adequate ventilation.

Foreword – Safety First

Helmet and Clothing

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.

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.

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.

Foreword – Safety First

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 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.

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.

Foreword – Safety First

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.

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.

Foreword – 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 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, 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 20 mm.

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

Foreword – Safety First

Parking

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 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.

Foreword – Safety First

Parts and Accessories

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

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 by an authorized Triumph 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 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 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 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 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.

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).

Turn Signal

When the turn signal switch is pushed to the left or right, the

turn signal indicator light will flash on and off at the same speed as the turn signals.

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 dimmer 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 1.1 US gallons (4.0 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.

Cruise Control Light

The cruise control can only be activated when the motorcycle

is traveling 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 55).

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:

• OFF ROAD Mode is selected – the

warning light will flash slowly (see page 46).

•RIDER Mode is selected with ABS set

to Off Road – the warning light will flash slowly (see page 47).

•RIDER Mode is selected with ABS set

to Off – the warning light will remain illuminated (see page 47).

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