Foreword – Safety First

FOREWORD – SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle

Warning

The Tiger XRXand Tiger XCXare

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.

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 XRX– 483 lb (219 kg)

Tiger XCX– 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 open-

air 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

•Badweather

• 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
