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 fitted with a sidecar. Fitting 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 – 219 kg (483 lb)

Tiger XC

X – 217 kg (478 lb).

Warning

This motorcycle is fitted 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 Helmet and Clothing

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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, tyre 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.

Page 10

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 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.

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.

Page 27

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 45).

•RIDER Mode is selected with ABS set

to Off Road – the warning light will flash slowly (see page 45).

•RIDER Mode is selected with ABS set

to Off – the warning light will remain illuminated (see page 45).

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

See also Braking on page 95.

Alarm/Immobiliser Indicator Light

This Triumph model is fitted with an engine immobiliser which is activated when the

ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. If the motorcycle is fitted with a Genuine Triumph Accessory alarm, the immobiliser will operate as normal but the alarm/immobiliser light will operate as described below.

With Alarm Fitted

The alarm/immobiliser light will only illuminate when the conditions described in the Genuine Triumph Accessory alarm instructions are met.

Without Alarm Fitted

When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the alarm/immobiliser light will flash on and off for 24 hours to show that the engine immobiliser is on. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the immobiliser and the indicator light will be off.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS braking system. Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning light illuminated. Contact an authorised 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.

1. Traction control indicator light

Engine Management System Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) for the engine

management system illuminates briefly 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.

Note:

• If the MIL flashes when the ignition

is switched on, contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the situation rectified. In these circumstances the engine will not start.

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 authorised 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.

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 motorcycle control and an accident. Contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

The main switch will not power back on automatically even if the voltage rises to the safe level.

The user must manually press the switch again to activate the heated grips.

If the detected voltage is still lower than

11.8 volts, the LED for the switch will

flash five times again and cut off the power automatically.

Fuse number four of the front fuse box protects the heated grip circuit, refer to the label in the fuse box lid for fuse amperage.

Throttle Control

1. Throttle open position

2. Throttle closed position

3. Cruise control cancel position

This Triumph model has an electronic throttle twist grip to open and close the throttles via the engine control unit. There are no direct-acting cables in the system.

The throttle grip has a resistive feel to it as it is rolled rearwards to open the throttles. When the grip is released it will return to the throttle closed position by its internal return spring and the throttles will close.

From the closed position, the throttle twist grip can be rolled forward 3 - 4 mm to deactivate the cruise control (see page 56).

There are no user adjustments for the throttle control.

Page 65

General Information

If there is a malfunction with the throttle control the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) becomes illuminated and one of the following engine conditions may occur:

• MIL illuminated, restricted engine RPM and throttle movement

• MIL illuminated, limp-home mode with the engine at a fast idle condition only

• MIL illuminated, engine will not start.

For all of the above conditions contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

Brake Use

At low throttle opening (approximately 20°), the brakes and throttle can be used together.

At high throttle opening (greater than 20°), if the brakes are applied for greater than two seconds the throttles will close and the engine speed will reduce. To return to normal throttle operation, release the throttle control, release the brakes and then reopen the throttle.

Brake and Clutch Lever Adjusters

1. Adjuster wheel, brake lever shown

2. Arrow mark

An adjuster is fitted to both the front brake and clutch levers. The adjusters allow the distance from the handlebar to the lever to be changed to one of five positions for the front brake lever or four positions for the clutch lever, to suit the span of the operator's hands.

To adjust the lever, push the lever forward and turn the adjuster wheel to align one of the numbered positions with the arrow mark on the lever holder.

The distance from the handlebar grip to the released lever is shortest when set to number five, and longest when set to number one.

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 authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.

General Information

Triu m p h Trac t i on C o n tro l (TTC)

Triumph Traction Control helps to 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.

Warning

Do not attempt to adjust the lever with the motorcycle in motion as this may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

After adjusting the lever, operate the motorcycle in an area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the new lever setting. Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as they may change the lever setting from the one you are familiar with causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

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.

Page 67

General Information

Triumph Traction Control Settings

The Triumph Traction Control can be set to one of the following conditions:

• Road – Optimal TTC setting for road use, allows minimal rear wheel slip

• Off Road – TTC is set up for off-road use, allowing increased rear wheel slip when compared to the Road setting. The TTC indicator light will flash slowly (see page 28)

• Off – TTC is turned off. The TTC disabled warning light will be illuminated (see page 28).

To access the TTC settings, see Riding Modes on page 44.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (If Fitted)

Note:

• TPMS is available as an accessory option on Tiger XR

X models only.

• TPMS is not available on Tiger XC

models.

Warning

Do not attempt to adjust the traction control settings while the motorcycle is in motion as this may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

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 138).

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

Page 68

General Information

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/h). 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 Sensor ID Number

An ID number for each tyre pressure sensor is printed on a label which is on the sensor. This number may be required by the dealer for service or diagnostics.

If the TPMS has been fitted at the factory, labels identifying the front and rear TPMS sensor ID numbers will be affixed to the spaces below.

If the TPMS is being fitted to the motorcycle as an accessory, ensure that the dealer records the front and rear TPMS sensor ID numbers in the spaces provided below.

Page 70

General Information

TPMS 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 138), and must not use the tyre pressure display on the instruments.

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 136).

Fuel Requirement/Refuelling

Fuel Grade

Your Triumph engine is designed to use unleaded fuel and will give optimum performance if the correct grade of fuel is used. Tiger XR

X and Tiger XCX models

can use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 91 RON or higher.

This motorcycle can use fuel with a maximum 25% Ethanol content (E25).

In certain circumstances engine calibration may be required. Always refer to your authorised Triumph dealer.

Warning

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 138).

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

Caution

The motorcycle can be permanently damaged if it is allowed to operate with the incorrect grade of fuel or incorrect engine calibration. Always ensure the fuel used is of the correct grade and quality. Damage caused by using the incorrect fuel or engine calibration is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.

Page 71

General Information

Caution

The exhaust system is fitted with a catalytic converter to help reduce exhaust emission levels. The catalytic converter can be permanently damaged if the motorcycle is allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level is allowed to get very low. Always ensure you have adequate fuel for your journey.

Caution

The use of leaded fuel is illegal in most countries, states or territories. Use of leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter.

Warning

To help reduce hazards associated with refuelling, always observe the following fuel safety instructions:

Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. When refuelling, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

Do not smoke. Do not use a mobile telephone. Make sure the refuelling area is well

ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks. This includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Never fill the tank until the fuel level rises into the filler neck. Heat from sunlight or other sources may cause the fuel to expand and overflow creating a fire hazard.

After refuelling always check that the fuel filler cap is correctly closed and locked.

Because petrol (fuel) is highly flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to observe the safety advice given above will lead to a fire hazard, which could cause damage to property, injury to persons or death.

Handlebar Adjustment

The handlebars are adjustable for reach by approximately 20 mm.

Note:

• This procedure assumes the handlebars are in the standard position, as delivered from the factory. If the handlebars have already been adjusted as described below, the fixing positions will be reversed.

Warning

Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel spillage.

If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up the spillage immediately and dispose of the materials used safely.

Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine, exhaust pipes, tyres or any other part of the motorcycle.

Because fuel is highly flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to observe the safety advice given above may lead to a fire hazard, which could cause damage to property and injury or death to persons.

Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tyres will reduce the tyre's ability to grip the road. This will result in a dangerous riding condition potentially causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

It is recommended to have handlebar adjustments carried out by a trained technician of an authorised Triumph dealer. Handlebar adjustments carried out by a technician who is not of an authorised Triumph dealer may affect the handling, stability or other aspects of the motorcycle's operation which may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

The two panniers fitted to this motorcycle are linked by a factoryadjusted cable link mechanism to enhance stability. This cable link mechanism allows a small amount of sideways pannier movement, independently of the motorcycle.

Do not remove or adjust the cable link mechanism as motorcycle stability will be affected. Riding the motorcycle with the cable link mechanism removed or incorrectly adjusted may cause the motorcycle to become unstable leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

After fitting or removing the panniers, operate the motorcycle in a safe area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the new handling characteristics. Operation when not familiar with the new characteristics of the motorcycle may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Page 86

General Information

Warning

Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Always ensure any loads carried are evenly distributed on both sides of the motorcycle. Ensure that the load is correctly secured such that it will not move around while the motorcycle is in motion.

Always check the load security regularly (though not while the motorcycle is in motion) and ensure that the load does not extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle. Never exceed the maximum vehicle loading weight of:

Tiger XR

X - 219 kg (483 lb)

Tiger XC

X - 217 kg (478 lb).

This maximum loading weight is made up from the combined weight of the rider, passenger, any accessories fitted and any load carried.

Warning

Never ride an accessory-equipped motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a payload of any kind, at speeds above 80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of these conditions, speeds in excess of 80 mph (130 km/h) should not be attempted even where the legal speed limit permits this.

The presence of accessories and/or payload will cause changes in the stability and handling of the motorcycle.

Failure to allow for changes in motorcycle stability may lead to loss of motorcycle control or an accident. Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h) absolute limit will reduce by the fitting of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.

cgir

Page 88

General Information

Running-In

Running-in is the name given to the process that occurs during the first hours of a new motorcycle's operation.

In particular, internal friction in the engine will be higher when components are new. Later on, when continued operation of the engine has ensured that the components have bedded in, this internal friction will be greatly reduced.

A period of careful running-in will ensure lower exhaust emissions, and will optimise performance, fuel economy and longevity of the engine and other motorcycle components.

Note:

• The recommended distance for breaking-in new brake discs and pads is 200 miles (300 km).

During the first 500 miles (800 kilometres):

• Avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and allow for greater braking distances during the breaking-in period.

• Do not use full throttle.

• Avoid high engine speeds at all times.

• Avoid riding at one constant engine speed, whether fast or slow, for a long period of time.

• Avoid aggressive starts, stops, and rapid accelerations, except in an emergency.

• Do not ride at speeds greater than 3/4 of maximum engine speed.

From 500 to 1,000 miles (800 to 1,500 kilometres):

• Engine speed can gradually be increased to the rev limit for short periods.

Both during and after running-in has been completed:

• Do not over-rev the engine when cold.

• Do not let the engine labour. Always downshift before the engine begins to struggle.

• Do not ride with engine speeds unnecessarily high. Changing up a gear helps reduce fuel consumption, reduces noise and helps to protect the environment.

Steering Action: Smooth but not loose from lock to lock. No binding of any of the control cables (page 129).

Brakes: Pull the brake lever and push the brake pedal to check for correct resistance. Investigate any lever/pedal where the travel is excessive before meeting resistance, or if either control feels spongy in operation (page 125).

Brake Pads: There should be more than

1.5 mm of friction material remaining on

all the brake pads (page 125). Brake Fluid Levels: No brake fluid

leakage. Brake fluid levels must be between the MAX and MIN marks on both reservoirs (page 126).

Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks from fork seals (page 130).

Throttle: Ensure that the throttle grip returns to the idle position without sticking (page 64).

Clutch: Smooth operation and correct cable free play (page 120).

Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the coolant level in the expansion tank (when the engine is cold) (page 117).

Electrical Equipment: All lights and the horn function correctly (page 147).

Engine Stop: Stop switch turns the engine off (page 92).

Stands: Returns to the fully up position by spring tension. Return springs not weak or damaged (page 75).

To St o p the E n gin e

1. Engine stop switch

2. Starter button

3. Neutral indicator light

4. ON position

5. Ignition switch

Close the throttle completely. Select neutral. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Select first gear. Support the motorcycle on a firm, level

surface with the side stand. Lock the steering.

To St a r t th e Engi n e

Check that the engine stop switch is in the RUN position.

Ensure the transmission is in neutral. Turn the ignition switch ON.

Note:

• When the ignition is switched on, the tachometer needle will quickly sweep from zero to maximum and then return to zero. The instrument warning lights will illuminate and will then go off (except those which normally remain on until the engine starts – see Warning Lights on page 26). It is not necessary to wait for the needle to return to zero before starting the engine.

RES /+

Caution

The engine should normally be stopped by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position. The engine stop switch is for emergency use only. Do not leave the ignition switched on with the engine stopped. Electrical damage may result.

• A transponder is fitted within the key to turn off the engine immobiliser. To ensure the immobiliser functions correctly, always have only one of the ignition keys near the ignition switch. Having two ignition keys near the switch may interrupt the signal between the transponder and the engine immobiliser. In this situation the engine immobiliser will remain active until one of the ignition keys is removed.

Pull the clutch lever fully into the handlebar.

Leaving the throttle fully closed, push the starter button until the engine starts.

• The motorcycle is equipped with starter lockout switches. The switches prevent the electric starter from operating when the transmission is not in neutral with the side stand down.

• If the side stand is extended whilst the engine is running, and the transmission is not in neutral then the engine will stop regardless of clutch position.

Moving Off

Pull in the clutch lever and select first gear. Open the throttle a little and let out the clutch lever slowly. As the clutch starts to engage, open the throttle a little more, allowing enough engine speed to avoid stalling.

Warning

Never start the engine or run the engine in a confined area. Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short period of time. Always operate your motorcycle in the openair or in an area with adequate ventilation.

Caution

Do not operate the starter continuously for more than five seconds as the starter motor will overheat and the battery will become discharged. Wait 15 seconds between each operation of the starter to allow for cooling and recovery of battery power.

Do not let the engine idle for long periods as this may lead to overheating which will cause damage to the engine.

Caution

If the low oil pressure warning light/message illuminates after starting the engine, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause. Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause severe engine damage.

Changing Gears

1. Gear change pedal

Close the throttle while pulling in the clutch lever. Change into the next higher or lower gear. Open the throttle part way, while releasing the clutch lever. Always use the clutch when changing gear.

Note:

• The gear change mechanism is the positive stop type. This means that, for each movement of the gear change pedal, you can only select each gear, one after the other, in ascending or descending order.

Warning

Take care to avoid opening the throttle too far or too fast in any of the lower gears as this can lead to the front wheel lifting from the ground (pulling a wheelie) and to the rear tyre breaking traction (wheel spin).

Always open the throttle cautiously, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the motorcycle, as a wheelie or loss of traction will cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not change to a lower gear at speeds that will cause excessive engine rpm (r/min). This can lock the rear wheel causing loss of control and an accident. Engine damage may also be caused. Changing down should be done such that low engine speeds will be ensured.

Warning

WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

Close the throttle completely, leaving the clutch engaged to allow the engine to help slow down the motorcycle.

Change down one gear at a time such that the transmission is in first gear when the motorcycle comes to a complete stop.

When stopping, always apply both brakes at the same time. Normally the front brake should be applied a little more than the rear.

Change down or fully disengage the clutch as necessary to keep the engine from stalling.

Never lock the brakes, as this may cause loss of control of the motorcycle and an accident.

Page 96

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Warning

For emergency braking, disregard down changing, and concentrate on applying the front and rear brakes as hard as possible without skidding. Riders should practice emergency braking in a traffic-free area (see ABS warnings below/over).

Triumph strongly recommends that all riders take a course of instruction, which includes advice on safe brake operation. Incorrect brake technique could result in loss of control and an accident.

Warning

For your safety, always exercise extreme caution when braking (whether or not ABS is fitted), accelerating or turning as any incautious action can cause loss of control and an accident. Independent use of the front or rear brakes reduces overall braking performance. Extreme braking may cause either wheel to lock, reducing control of the motorcycle and causing an accident (see ABS warnings below).

When possible, reduce speed or brake before entering a turn as closing the throttle or braking in mid-turn may cause wheel slip leading to loss of control and an accident.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, the ability to manoeuvre and stop will be reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of control and an accident.

Warning

When descending a long, steep gradient or mountain pass, make use of the engine's braking effect by down changing and use both front and rear brakes intermittently. Continuous brake application or use of the rear brake only can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Riding with your foot on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake lever may actuate the brake light, giving a false indication to other road users. It may also overheat the brake, reducing braking effectiveness leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Do not coast with the engine switched off, and do not tow the motorcycle. The transmission is pressurelubricated only when the engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may cause damage or seizure of the transmission, which can lead to sudden loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)

ABS Warning Light

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

normal for the ABS warning light to flash on and off (see page 27). If the ABS warning light is constantly illuminated it indicates that the ABS function is not available because:

• The ABS has been disabled by the

rider (see page 45).

• The ABS has a malfunction that

requires investigation.

If the indicator light becomes illuminated while riding, it indicates that the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.

Note:

• Normally, the rider will perceive ABS

operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal. As the ABS is not an integrated braking system and it does not control both the front and rear brake at the same time, this pulsation may be felt in the lever, the pedal or both.

• The ABS may be activated by sudden

upward or downward changes in the road surface.

Warning

When using the motorcycle on loose, wet, or muddy roads, braking effectiveness will be reduced by dust, mud or moisture collecting on the brakes. Always brake earlier in these conditions to ensure brake surfaces are cleaned by the braking action. Riding the motorcycle with brakes contaminated with dust, mud or moisture may cause loss of control and an accident.

Warning

ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking, therefore maximising the effectiveness of the braking system in emergencies and when riding on slippery surfaces. The potentially shorter braking distances ABS allows under certain conditions are not a substitute for good riding practice.

Always ride within the legal speed limit.

Never ride without due care and attention and always reduce speed in consideration of weather, road and traffic conditions.

Take care when cornering. If the brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will not be able to counteract the weight and momentum of the motorcycle. This can result in loss of control and an accident.

Under some circumstances it is possible that a motorcycle equipped with ABS may require a longer stopping distance than an equivalent motorcycle without ABS.

Page 98

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Parking

Select neutral and turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

Lock the steering to help prevent theft. Always park on a firm, level surface to

prevent the motorcycle from falling. This is particularly important when parking off-road.

When parking on a hill, always park facing uphill to prevent the motorcycle from rolling off the stand. Engage first gear to prevent the motorcycle from moving.

On a lateral (sideways) incline, always park such that the incline naturally pushes the motorcycle towards the side stand.

Do not park on a lateral (sideways) incline of greater than 6° and never park facing downhill.

Warning

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS braking system. Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the indicator light illuminated. In the event of a fault, contact an authorised 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 control and an accident.

Warning

The ABS warning light will illuminate when the rear wheel is driven at high speed for more than 30 seconds when the motorcycle is on a stand. This reaction is normal.

When the ignition is switched off and the motorcycle is restarted, the warning light will illuminate until the motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h).

Warning

The ABS system operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels. Use of nonrecommended tyres can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of control and an accident in conditions where the ABS would normally function.

Page 99

How to Ride the Motorcycle

Note:

• When parking near traffic at night, or when parking in a location where parking lights are required by law, leave the tail, licence plate and position lights on by turning the ignition switch to P (PARK).

Do not leave the switch in the P position for long periods of time as this will discharge the battery.

Considerations for High-Speed Operation

Warning

Do not park on a soft or on a steeply inclined surface. Parking under these conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall over causing damage to property and personal injury.

Warning

Petrol is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. If parking inside a garage or other structure, be sure it is well ventilated and the motorcycle is not close to any source of flame or sparks. This includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Failure to follow the above advice may cause a fire resulting in damage to property or personal injury.

Warning

The engine and exhaust system will be hot after riding. DO NOT park where pedestrians and children are likely to touch the motorcycle.

Touching any part of the engine or exhaust system when hot may cause unprotected skin to become burnt.

Warning

High-speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

General

Ensure the motorcycle has been maintained according to the scheduled maintenance chart.

Steering

Check that the handlebar turns smoothly without excessive free play or tight spots. Ensure that the control cables do not restrict the steering in any way.

Luggage

Make certain that any luggage containers are closed, locked and securely fitted to the motorcycle.

Brakes

Check that the front and rear brakes are functioning properly.

Tyres

High-speed operation is hard on tyres, and tyres that are in good condition are crucial to riding safely. Examine their overall condition, inflate to the correct pressure (when the tyres are cold), and check the wheel balance. Securely fit the valve caps after checking tyre pressures. Observe the information given on tyre checking and tyre safety in the Maintenance and Adjustment section and in the Specifications section.

Fuel

Have sufficient fuel for the increased fuel consumption that will result from high-speed operation.

Warning

The handling characteristics of a motorcycle at high speed may vary from those you are familiar with at legal road speeds. Do not attempt high-speed operation unless you have received sufficient training and have the required skills as a serious accident may result from incorrect operation.

Warning

The items listed below are extremely important and must never be neglected. A problem, which may not be noticed at normal operating speeds, may be greatly exaggerated at high speeds.
