Safety First7SAFETY FIRSTThe MotorcycleWarningAll models are designed for on-road use 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.WarningTiger 1200 XRx-LRH (Low Ride Height) ModelThe Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH motorcycles are equipped with lowered suspension and have reduced ground clearance.As a result, the cornering bank angles that can be achieved by the Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH are reduced, when compared with the standard ride height Tiger 1200 XRx.When riding, keep 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.WarningThis motorcycle is not designed to tow a trailer or be mounted with a sidecar.Installing a sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Safety First8WarningThis 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:Tiger 1200 XR - 507 lb (230 kg)Tiger 1200 XRx - 502 lb (228 kg)Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH - 507 lb (230 kg)Tiger 1200 XRT - 502 lb (228 kg)Tiger 1200 XCx - 491 lb (223 kg)Tiger 1200 XCA - 493 lb (224 kg).WarningThis motorcycle is equipped 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 make sure that flammable materials are not allowed to contact the exhaust system or catalytic converter.Fuel and Exhaust FumesWarningGASOLINE 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 immedi-ately washed off with soap and water and clothing contaminated with gaso-line should immediately be removed.Burns and other serious skin conditions may result from contact with gasoline.WarningNever 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.
Safety First9Helmet and ClothingWarningWhen 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.WarningA 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.cbmaWhen 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.RidingWarningNever 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.WarningAll 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.
Safety First10WarningAlways 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.WarningThis 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.WarningContinually 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 vehiclesPotholes, uneven or damaged road surfacesBad weatherRider 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.WarningEnsure 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.
Safety First11CautionThis Triumph motorcycle is not equipped with spark arresters. Operation in forests, brush or grass areas may violate state and local laws and regulations.Wobble/WeaveA 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.Copyright © 2005 Motorcycle Safety Foundation. All rights reserved. Used with permission.Handlebars and FootrestsWarningThe 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.WarningThe 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.
Safety First12ParkingWarningAlways switch off the engine and never leave any keys with the motorcycle before leaving it unattended. By removing any keys, 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.Parts and AccessoriesWarningOwners 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.

Instruments25Engine 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.WarningReduce 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 LightWith the engine running, if the engine oil pressure becomes dangerously low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate.CautionStop 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.Immobilizer/Alarm Indicator LightThis Triumph motorcycle is equipped with an engine immobilizer which is activated when the ignition is switched off.
Instruments26Not Equipped With AlarmWhen 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 AlarmThe 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.WarningIf 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.For details on how to select different ABS settings, see page 33.Traction Control (TC) Indicator LightThe 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.
Instruments27WarningIf 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 27).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 LightThe 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 LightThe 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 3rd gear or higher. When activated, the cruise control light will be illuminated (see page 104).WarningCruise 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.
Instruments28Triumph Semi Active Suspension (TSAS) Warning Light When the ignition is switched on the warning light will illuminate for 1.5 seconds and then go out.The warning light has two modes: Calibration The TSAS system will recalibrate adjustment motors under the following conditions: • If the battery has been disconnected for any reason. • If a fault occurs with the TSAS system during normal operation.The warning light will flash twice every second during system recalibration, and a message will be shown in the display.During recalibration the motorcycle must remain stationary. Riding the motorcycle will cause the recalibration to be stopped and the warning light to remain lit. Fault If the warning light illuminates continuously or at any other time it indicates one of the following: • A system recalibration has been interrupted. Allow the system to recalibrate. • A fault has occurred with the system that requires investigation. Warning messages will be shown in the display. Allow the system to recalibrate. If the fault is still present after recalibration, contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.Full details of the Triumph Semi Active Suspension (TSAS) system and the system calibration are described starting on page 108.Turn SignalsWhen the turn signal switch is turned to the left or right, the indicator warning light will flash on and off at the same speed as the turn signals.Hazard Warning LightsTo turn the hazard warning lights on or off, press and release the hazard warning light switch.The ignition must be switched ON for the hazard warning lights to function.The hazard warning lights will remain on if the ignition is switched off, until the hazard warning light switch is pressed again.High Beam ButtonWhen the high beam button is pressed the high beam will be switched on. Each press of the button will swap between dip and high beam.Note:• If daytime running lights are installed on the motorcycle, the high beam button has additional functionality.
Instruments29If the DRL switch is in the daytime running lights position, then press and hold the high beam button to turn the high beam on. It will remain on as long as the button is held in and will turn off as soon as the button is released.Note:• A lighting on/off switch is not installed on this model. The brake/tail light and license plate light all function automatically when the ignition is turned to the ON position.• The headlight will function when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The headlight will go off while pressing the starter button until the engine starts.Daytime Running Lights (DRL)When the ignition is switched ON and the daytime running lights switch is set to DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, the daytime running lights warning light will illuminate.The daytime running lights and low beam headlights are operated manually using a switch on the left hand switch housing, see page 97.WarningDo not ride for longer than necessary in poor ambient light conditions with the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) in use.Riding with the Daytime Running Lights when dark, in tunnels or where poor ambient light is apparent may reduce the riders vision or blind other road users.Blinding other road users or reduced vision in low ambient light levels may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Note:• During daylight hours the Daytime Running Lights improve the motorcycles visibility to other road users.• Low beam headlights must be used in any other conditions unless the road conditions allow for high beam headlights to be used.Low Fuel Warning Light The low fuel warning light will illuminate when there is approximately 1.0 gallon (3.5 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank.
Instruments30Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light (if equipped)WarningStop the motorcycle if the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light illuminates red.Do not ride the motorcycle until the tires have been checked and the tire pressures are at their recommended pressure when cold.Note:• The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is available as an accessory option on all models.The TPMS warning light will only illuminate red when the front or rear tire pressure is below the recommended pressure, or no signal is received. It will not illuminate if the tire is over inflated.

Press the joystick center to acknowledge and hide the low fuel warning.After refueling, the fuel gage and range to empty information will be updated only while riding the motorcycle. Depending on the riding style, updating could take up to five minutes.Service Interval AnnouncementThe service interval announcement shows the total distance or time that the motorcycle has remaining before a service is required. When the remaining distance is 0 miles (0 km), or the remaining time is 0 days, the service symbol will remain on until the service has been carried out and the system has been reset by your authorized Triumph dealer.If the service is overdue then OVERDUE will be shown and the service symbol will be shown in the information tray.When the service has been carried out by your authorized Triumph dealer, the system will be reset.The distance to the next service or OVERDUE message will also be shown on the instrument start up screen when the ignition is turned on.The service symbol will also be shown if a fault has occurred and the ABS and/or MIL warning lights are illuminated. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.Ambient Air TemperatureThe ambient air temperature is displayed as either oC or oF.When the motorcycle is stationary the heat of the engine may affect the accuracy of the ambient temperature display.Once the motorcycle starts moving the display will return to normal after a short time.
Instruments33To change the temperature from °C or °F see page 53.Frost SymbolThe frost symbol will illuminate if the ambient air temperature is 39°F (4°C) or lower.The frost symbol will remain illuminated until the temperature rises to 42°F (6°C).An alert will also be displayed in the information tray.ACKNOWLEDGECAUTION: LOW AIR TEMPERATURERISK OF SURFACE ICE1/3 warningsWarningBlack ice (sometimes called clear ice) can form at temperatures several degrees above freezing (32°F (0°C)), especially on bridges and in shaded areas.Always take extra care when the temperatures are low and reduce speed in potentially hazardous driving conditions such as bad weather.Excess speed, hard acceleration, heavy braking or hard cornering when roads are slippery may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Riding ModesThe riding modes allow adjustment of the throttle response (MAP), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control (TC) settings to suit differing road conditions and rider preferences.Riding modes can be conveniently selected using the MODE button and joystick located on the left hand switch housing, while the motorcycle is stationary or moving, see page 34.Up to six riding modes are available depending on your model’s specification. If a riding mode is edited (other than the RIDER mode), the icon will change as shown below.Default Icon Rider Edited IconDescription-RIDERRAINROADSPORTOFF-ROADOFF-ROAD PROEach riding mode is adjustable. For more information, see page 44.Availability of the ABS, MAP and TC setting options vary between models.
Instruments34Riding Mode SelectionWarningThe selection of riding modes while the motorcycle is in motion requires the rider to allow the motorcycle to coast (motorcycle moving, engine running, throttle closed, clutch lever pulled in and no brakes applied) for a brief period of time.Riding mode selection while the motorcycle is in motion should only be attempted:• At low speed• In traffic-free areas• On straight and level roads or surfaces• In good road and weather conditions• Where it is safe to allow the motorcycle to briefly coast.Riding mode selection while the motorcycle is in motion MUST NOT be attempted:• At high speeds• While riding in traffic• During cornering or on winding roads or surfaces• On steeply inclined roads or surfaces• In poor road/weather conditions• Where it is unsafe to allow the motorcycle to coast.Failure to observe this important warning may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningIf ABS and/or traction control (TC) has been disabled in the Main Menu as described on, page 48 for ABS and/or page 48 for TC settings saved for all riding modes will be overridden.ABS and/or TC will remain off regardless of your riding mode selection until they have been re-enabled or, the ignition has been switched off then on again, or the MODE button is held in to return to the default ROAD mode (which enables ABS and/or TC when the motorcycle is next stationary).If the ABS is disabled, the brake system will function as a non-ABS equipped braking system. In this situation braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.If the traction control is disabled, the motorcycle will handle as normal but without traction control. In this situation accelerating too hard on wet/slippery road surfaces may cause the rear wheel to slip, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Instruments35WarningAfter selecting a riding mode, operate the motorcycle in an area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the new settings.Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as they may change the riding mode settings from the one you are familiar with, causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Note:• The riding mode will default to ROAD when the ignition is switched ON, if the OFF-ROAD or RIDER mode was active the last time the ignition was switched OFF with ABS or TC set to OFF-ROAD or OFF in either of those modes.• Otherwise, the last selected riding mode will be remembered and activated when the ignition is switched ON.• If the mode icons are not visible when the ignition switch is in the ON position, make sure that the engine stop switch is in the RUN position.Note:• If the battery is disconnected, then the RIDER mode settings will default back to the original factory settings.The current riding mode is shown in the upper left of the display screen.To select a riding mode: • Press and release the MODE button on the left hand switch housing to activate the riding mode selection tray at the bottom of the display screen. • The currently active riding mode icon is highlighted with a blue background.To change the selected riding mode: • Either push the joystick left or right, or repeatedly press the MODE button until the required mode is in the center of the display screen, highlighted with an arrow above it. • A brief press of the joystick center will select the required riding mode, and the icon in the upper left of the display screen will change.o7:2912.586N42012 141FE2 3 4 5 6PMRPMx1000mphm1032211.

In this situation braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident. • Road - Optimal ABS setting for road use. • Off-Road - Optimal ABS setting for off-road use as follows: • Front Brake Lever Operation - If the front brake lever is operated only, the partially integrated braking system will also apply a small amount of rear brake as described in Braking on page 146. In this situation, the level of ABS intervention is optimized for off-road riding for both front and rear wheels.
Instruments86 • Rear Brake Pedal Operation - If the rear brake pedal is operated at any point, all rear braking input will be controlled directly by the rear brake pedal. Operating the rear brake pedal will override any rear braking input applied by the partially integrated braking system, through use of the front brake lever. In this situation, the level of ABS intervention is optimized for off-road riding for the front wheel, but the rear wheel will be allowed to lock under heavy braking. Use of the rear brake pedal alone will only apply the rear brake and the rear wheel will be allowed to lock under heavy braking. The ABS warning light will flash slowly. • Off - ABS is turned off. The ABS warning light will be illuminated.MAP Option Descriptions • Rain - Reduced throttle response when compared to the Road setting, for wet or slippery conditions. • Road - Standard throttle response. • Off-Road - Optimal throttle response setting for off-road use.TC Option DescriptionsWarningThe OFF-ROAD TC option is not intended for normal, on-road riding.Riding on-road with TC set to OFF-ROAD can produce instability under acceleration due to the increased amount of rear wheel slip allowed.Instability caused by rear wheel slip may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningIf the traction control is disabled, the motorcycle will handle as normal but without traction control. In this situation accelerating too hard on wet/slippery road surfaces may cause the rear wheel to slip, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident. • Rain - Optimal TC setting for wet or slippery conditions. Allows reduced rear wheel slip when compared with the Road setting. • Road - Optimal TC setting for road use, allows a small amount of rear wheel slip. • Off-Road - TC is set up for off-road use, allowing increased rear wheel slip when compared to the Rain, Road and Sport settings. The TC indicator light will flash slowly. • Off - TC is turned OFF. The TC disabled warning light will be illuminated.

General Information108Triumph Semi Active Suspension (TSAS) (if equipped)Note:• All models except for Tiger 1200 XR are equipped with Triumph Semi Active Suspension (TSAS).WarningAfter adjusting the suspension, operate the motorcycle in an area free from traffic to gain familiarity with the new settings.Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as they may change the suspension settings from the one you are familiar with causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.The Triumph Semi-Active Suspension System (TSAS) controls adjustment of the front and rear suspension damping and automatic rear suspension preload settings.TSAS allows a convenient remote adjustment of the TSAS mode and damping settings through the instruments, while the motorcycle is stationary or moving.TSAS adjustments are made instantaneously once a new mode or damping setting has been selected and the engine is running.TSAS ModesThe following TSAS modes are available for selection: • Auto - The TSAS system will automatically detect the type of surface being ridden on (road or off-road) and will adjust rebound and compression damping settings accordingly. • Off-Road - Optimal TSAS settings for off-road use.TSAS Damping SettingsThere are a total of nine damping settings available for selection ranging from COMFORT (soft) to SPORT (firm) with the three main settings being: • COMFORT • NORMAL • SPORT.For more information on accessing the TSAS settings, see page 45.System CalibrationThe TSAS system will recalibrate adjustment motors under the following conditions: • If the battery has been disconnected for any reason. • If a fault occurs with the TSAS system during normal operation.The warning light will flash twice every second during system recalibration.
General Information109To allow the system to calibrate correctly, the following procedure must be adhered to: • Turn the ignition on. Do not start the engine. • Wait for the warning light to stop flashing indicating that adjustment motor calibration is complete. • Start the engine. If the warning light resumes flashing. the adjustment motors are being recalibrated due to low battery voltage. • Wait for the warning light to stop flashing before riding the motorcycle.Failure to follow this procedure will cause the recalibration to be stopped and the warning light to remain lit.In this case the warning light will extinguish once the recalibration is next allowed to complete.Traction Control (TC)WarningThe traction control and optimized cornering traction control systems are not a substitute for riding appropriately for the prevailing surface and weather conditions. The systems cannot prevent loss of traction due to:• excessive speed when entering turns• accelerating at a sharp lean angle• braking.Traction control or optimized cornering traction control cannot prevent the front wheel from slipping.Failure to observe any of the above may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.All motorcycles are equipped with Traction Control (TC).Traction control is a system that 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 indicator light will flash while it is engaged and the rider may notice a change to the sound of the engine.For information on the traction control indicator light operation, see page 26 and page 62.
General Information110Optimized Cornering Traction Control (if equipped)Note:• All models except Tiger 1200 XR are equipped with optimized cornering Traction Control (TC).Optimized cornering traction control is a system designed to give the rider increased control should the traction control be activated while the motorcycle is leaning in a corner.The system constantly monitors the lean angle of the motorcycle and adapts the level of traction control intervention to maintain rear wheel traction during cornering.WarningIf the TC system is not functioning, care must be taken when accelerating and cornering on wet/slippery road surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.In the event of a fault, the TC disabled warning light may be accompanied by the engine management system malfunction indicator light and/or the ABS warning light.Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with any of the above warning lights illuminated. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.Hard acceleration and cornering in this situation may cause the rear wheel to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningIf a fault occurs with the optimized cornering TC system, the TC disabled warning light will illuminate and a message will be shown in the display.In this situation, the TC system will continue to operate but without the optimized cornering function, provided that:• There are no other faults with the TC system.• TC has NOT been disabled by the rider (see Bike Setup on page 48 or Riding Mode Configuration on page 44).Care must be taken when accelerating and cornering on wet/slippery road surfaces to avoid rear wheel spin.In the event of a fault, the TC disabled warning light may be accompanied by the engine management system malfunction indicator light and/or the ABS warning light.Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with any of the above warning lights illuminated. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.Hard acceleration and cornering in this situation may cause the rear wheel to spin resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
General Information111Note:• TC and optimized TC control (if equipped) may not function if there is a malfunction with the ABS system. In this situation, the warning lights for the ABS, TC and the MIL may be illuminated.For full details of the TC disabled warning light operation and its associated instrument warning messages, see page 27.Traction Control SettingsWarningIf the traction control is disabled, the motorcycle will handle as normal but without traction control.In this situation accelerating too hard on wet/slippery road surfaces may cause the rear wheel to slip, and may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.The TC system can be disabled as described in Bike Setup on page 48, or set to the conditions described in Riding Mode Configuration on page 44.Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if equipped)WarningThe daily check of tire pressures must not be excluded because of the installation of the TPMS. Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold and using an accurate tire pressure gage (see page 189).Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tire pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.FunctionTire pressure sensors are mounted to the front and rear wheels. These sensors measure the air pressure inside the tire and transmit pressure data to the instruments. The sensors will not transmit data until the motorcycle reaches a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will be visible in the system display until the tire pressure signal is received.After bring the motorcycle to a stop, the sensors continue to transmit data for approximately seven minutes before switching off. The tire pressure values remain visible in the system display until the sensors switch off.An adhesive label will be mounted to the wheel rim to indicate the position of the tire pressure sensor, which is near the valve.
General Information112Note:• The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is available as an accessory kit. It must be installed by your authorized Triumph dealer.• The TPMS display on the instruments will only be activated when the system has been installed.Tire Pressure Sensor Serial NumberThe serial number for the tire pressure sensor is printed on a label attached to the sensor. This number may be required by your authorized Triumph dealer for service or diagnostics.When the tire pressure monitoring system is being installed to the motorcycle, make sure that your authorized Triumph dealer records the serial numbers of the front and rear tire pressure sensors in the spaces provided below.Front Tire Pressure Sensor Rear Tire Pressure Sensor System DisplayThe tire pressure warning light works in conjunction with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).The warning light will only illuminate when the front or rear tire pressure is below the recommended pressure. It will not illuminate if the tire is over inflated.When the warning light is illuminated, the TPMS symbol indicating which is the deflated tire and its pressure will automatically be shown in the display.Tiger 1200 XR OnlyOFF-ROADAUTOOFF-ROADMPGMIPSIPSICNS123642FR47121231.

Even if the numeric display seems at or close to the standard tire pressure when the warning light is on, a low tire pressure is indicated and a puncture is the most likely cause.WarningStop the motorcycle if the tire pressure warning light illuminates.Do not ride the motorcycle until the tires have been checked and the tire pressures are at their recommended pressure when cold.The motorcycle information display will automatically switch to the tire pressure display when a low tire pressure is detected.Dashes will be displayed in the tire pressure display until the motorcycle reaches a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h).Sensor BatteriesWhen the battery voltage in a pressure sensor is low a message will be shown in the display, and the TPMS symbol or message will indicate which wheel sensor has the low battery voltage.If the batteries are completely flat, only dashes will be shown in the display screen, the red TPMS warning light will be on and the TPMS symbol will flash continuously. A message will also be shown in the display.Contact your authorized Triumph dealer to have the sensor replaced and the new serial number recorded in the spaces provided on page 112.With the ignition switched on, if TPMS symbol flashes continuously or the TPMS warning light remains on there is a fault with the TPMS system. Contact your Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.TPMS System FaultIf a fault occurs with the TPMS system, the red TPMS warning light will be illuminated and the message SENSOR SIGNAL FRONT/REAR TIRE will be shown in the display. Contact your authorized Triumph dealer to have the fault rectified.
General Information114Tire PressuresThe tire pressures shown on your instrument panel indicate the actual tire pressure at the time of selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation pressure set when the tires are cold because tires become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tire to expand and the inflation pressure to increase. The cold inflation pressures specified by Triumph take account of this.Only adjust tire pressures when the tires are cold using an accurate tire pressure gage (see page 189), and do not use the tire pressure display on the instruments.WarningThe Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is not to be used as a tire pressure gage when adjusting the tire pressures. For correct tire pressures, always check the tire pressures when the tires are cold and using an accurate tire pressure gage (see page 189).Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tire pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.CautionDo not use anti puncture fluid or any other item likely to obstruct air flow to the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any blockage to the air pressure orifice of the TPMS sensor during operation will cause the sensor to become blocked, causing irreparable damage to the TPMS sensor assembly.Damage caused by the use of anti puncture fluid or incorrect maintenance is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.Always have your tires mounted by your authorized Triumph dealer and inform them that tire pressure sensors installed on the wheel.Low Tire PressureWarningStop the motorcycle if the tire pressure warning light illuminates.Do not ride the motorcycle until the tires have been checked and the tire pressures are at their recommended pressure when cold.If a low tire pressure is detected, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate and a message will be shown in the display (see page 64 or page 30).
General Information115FuelFuel Requirement/RefuelingPbcbnyFuel Grade These Triumph motorcycles are designed to run on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI octane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or higher. Federal regulations require that pumps delivering unleaded gasoline are marked ‘UNLEADED’ and that the Cost of Living Council (CLC) or Anti-Knock Index (AKI) octane rating is also displayed. These ratings are an average of the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON).In certain circumstances engine calibration may be required. Always refer to your authorized Triumph dealer.CautionThe use of leaded gasoline is illegal in some countries, states or territories. Check local regulations before using leaded gasoline.Note:• If ‘knocking’ or ‘pinging’ occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, use a different brand of gasoline or gasoline which has a higher octane rating.Oxygenated GasolineTo help in meeting clean air standards, some areas of the U.S. use oxygenated gasoline to help reduce harmful emissions. These gasolines are a blend of conventional gasoline and another compound such as alcohol. This Triumph motorcycle will give its best performance when using unleaded gasoline. However, the following should be used as a guide if you use any oxygenated fuels.EthanolEthanol fuel is a mixture of 10% Ethanol and 90% gasoline and is often described under the names ‘gasohol’, ‘Ethanol enhanced’, or ‘contains Ethanol’. This fuel may be used in your Triumph motorcycle.MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)The use of gasolines containing up to 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is permitted in this Triumph motorcycle.MethanolCautionFuels containing methanol should not be used as damage to components in the fuel system can be caused by contact with methanol.CautionBecause of the generally higher volatility of oxygenated fuels, starting, engine response and fuel consumption may be adversely affected by their use. Should any of these difficulties be experienced, run the motorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.

General Information134WarningThe Expedition Aluminum Panniers are designed to be mounted as a pair.Never ride the motorcycle with only one pannier installed.Riding the motorcycle with one pannier installed may cause the motorcycle to become unstable leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningAfter mounting 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.WarningIncorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Always make sure that any loads carried are evenly distributed on both sides of the motorcycle. Make sure that the load is correctly secured such that it will not move around while the motorcycle is in motion.Evenly distribute the load within each pannier. Pack heavy items at the bottom and on the inboard side of the pannier.Always check the load security regularly (though not while the motorcycle is in motion) and make sure that the load does not extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle. Never exceed the maximum vehicle loading weight of:Tiger 1200 XR - 507 lb (230 kg)Tiger 1200 XRx - 502 lb (228 kg)Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH - 507 lb (230 kg)Tiger 1200 XRT - 502 lb (228 kg)Tiger 1200 XCx - 491 lb (223 kg)Tiger 1200 XCA - 493 lb (224 kg).This maximum loading weight is made up from the combined weight of the rider, passenger, any accessories installed and any load carried.
General Information135WarningFor models that have manually adjustable suspension, make sure that front and rear spring preload and damping settings are suitable for the loading condition of the motorcycle (see page 185).Note the maximum permissible payload for the panniers is stated on a label inside the pannier.WarningThis motorcycle must not be operated above the legal road speed limit except in authorized closed-course conditions.WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course on-road competition or on closed-course racetracks. High-speed operation should only be attempted by riders who have been instructed in the techniques necessary for high-speed riding and are familiar with the motorcycle's characteristics in all conditions.High-speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningNever 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 and an accident.When riding at high speed, always be aware that various motorcycle configu-ration and environmental factors can adversely affect the stability of your motorcycle. For example:• Incorrectly balanced loads on both sides of the motorcycle.• Incorrectly adjusted front and rear suspension settings.• Incorrectly adjusted tire pressures.• Excessively or unevenly worn tires.• Side winds and turbulence from other vehicles.• Loose clothing.Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h) absolute limit will reduce by the instal-lation of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tires, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.
General Information136Breaking-InR.P.M.cboaBreaking-in is the name given to the process that occurs during the first hours of a new vehicle'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 breaking-in will ensure lower exhaust emissions, and will optimize performance, fuel economy and longevity of the engine and other motorcycle components.During the first 500 miles (800 km): • 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 speed.From 500 to 1,000 miles (800 to 1,500 km): • Engine speed can gradually be increased to the rev limit for short periods.Both during and after breaking-in has been completed: • Do not overrev the engine when cold; • Do not lug the engine. Always downshift before the engine begins to 'struggle'; • Do not ride with engine speeds unnecessarily high. Shifting up a gear helps reduce fuel consumption, reduces noise and helps to protect the environment.
General Information137Daily Safety CheckscbocWarningFailure to perform these checks every day before you ride may result in seri-ous motorcycle damage or an accident causing serious injury or death.Check the following items each day before you ride. The time required is minimal, and these checks will help make sure you have a safe, reliable ride.If any irregularities are found during these checks, refer to the Maintenance and Adjustment section or see your authorized Triumph dealer for the action required to return the motorcycle to a safe operating condition.Check:Fuel: Adequate supply in tank, no fuel leaks (see page 115).Engine Oil: Correct level visible at sight glass. Add correct specification oil as required. No leaks from the engine or oil cooler (see page 169).Final Drive: No oil leaks (see page 176).Tires/Wheels: Correct inflation pressures (when cold). Tread depth/wear, tire/wheel damage, punctures etc. (see page 188).Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners: Visually check that steering and suspension components, axles, and all controls are properly tightened or fastened. Inspect all areas for loose/damaged fasteners.Steering Action: Smooth but not loose from lock to lock. No binding of any of the control cables (see page 182).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 (see page 177).ABS: Make sure that the ABS warning light does not remain illuminated at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h) when moving off (see page 149).
General Information138Brake Pads: There should be more than 0.06 in (1.5 mm) of friction material remaining on all the pads (see page 177).Brake Fluid Levels: No brake and clutch fluid leakage. Brake fluid levels must be between the MAX and MIN marks on both reservoirs (see page 180).Front Forks: Smooth action. No leaks from fork seals (see page 183).Throttle: Throttle grip free play 0.08 - 0.12 in (2 - 3 mm). Make sure that the throttle grip returns to the idle position without sticking (see page 102).Clutch Fluid Level: No brake and clutch fluid leakage. The clutch fluid level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir (see page 175).Coolant: No coolant leakage. Check the coolant level in the expansion tank (when the engine is cold) (see page 172).Electrical Equipment: All lights and the horn function correctly (see page 92 and page 91).Engine Stop: Stop switch turns the engine off (see page 140).Stands: Returns to the fully up position by spring tension.

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 59). It is not necessary to wait for the needle to return to zero before starting the engine.• A transponder is installed within the key to turn off the engine immobilizer. Only have 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 immobilizer. In this situation the engine immobilizer 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.WarningNever 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 open air or in an area with adequate ventilation.CautionDo 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.CautionIf the low oil pressure warning light 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.The motorcycle is equipped with starter lockout switches.

In this situation the engine immobilizer will remain active until one of the ignition keys is removed.Moving OffPull 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.Shifting GearsWarningDo not shift to a lower gear at speeds that will cause excessive engine rpm (r/min). This can lock the rear wheel causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Engine damage may also be caused. Shifting down should be done such that low engine speeds will be ensured.WarningWith the traction control enabled, it will limit the amount of front wheel lift and rear wheel slip.If the traction control is not functioning or disabled, 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 tire 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.165432N11. Gear shift pedal
How to Ride the Motorcycle146To shift gears: • Close the throttle while pulling in the clutch lever. • Shift into the next higher or lower gear. • Open the throttle part way, while releasing the clutch lever. Always use the clutch when shifting gear. • The gear shift mechanism is the positive stop type. This means that, for each movement of the gear shift pedal, you can only select each gear, one after the other, in ascending or descending order.Brakingchex_ 111. Front brake lever11. Rear brake pedalAll motorcycle models are equipped with a partially integrated braking system, combined with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).The partially integrated braking system is designed to increase the braking efficiency of the rider.When the rider applies the front brake, a small amount of rear brake is also applied, allowing for balanced braking.The amount of rear brake application is related to the level of braking force applied by the rider through the front brake lever.
How to Ride the Motorcycle147Use of the rear brake pedal alone will only apply the rear brake.For full brake effectiveness, always operate the front brake lever and rear brake pedal together.WarningWHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:Close the throttle completely, leaving the clutch engaged to allow the engine to help slow down the motorcycle.Shift 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. Normally the front brake should be applied a little more than the rear.Shift down or fully disengage the clutch as necessary to keep the engine from stalling.If the ABS is not functioning or has been disabled, never lock the brakes, as this may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningFor emergency braking, disregard down shifting, 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).Warning ContinuedTriumph 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.WarningFor your safety, always exercise extreme caution when braking (whether equipped with ABS or not), accelerating or turning as any improper action can cause loss of motorcycle 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 motorcycle control and an accident.When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.For more information on optimized cornering ABS see page 150.
How to Ride the Motorcycle148WarningWhen descending a long, steep gradient or mountain pass, make use of the engine's braking effect by down shifting 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.WarningRiding 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.WarningDo not coast with the engine switched off, and do not tow the motorcycle. The transmission is pressure-lubricated 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.WarningWhen 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 motorcycle control and an accident.CautionDue to the nature of the partially integrated braking system, any attempts to spin the rear wheel while the front brake is applied (Burnout) will cause damage to the braking system and drivetrain.
How to Ride the Motorcycle149Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)WarningABS helps prevent the wheels from locking, therefore maximizing 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 motorcycle 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.WarningIf the ABS is not functioning or has been disabled (see Bike Setup on page 76 or Riding Mode Configuration on page 85), 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. In the event of a fault, 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.Note:• Normally, the rider will perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a pulsation of the brake lever and pedal.• The ABS may be activated by sudden upward or downward changes in the road surface.
How to Ride the Motorcycle150Optimized Cornering ABSNote:• All models except Tiger 1200 XR are equipped with the optimized cornering ABS.The optimized cornering ABS is a system designed to give the rider increased control should the ABS be activated while the motorcycle is leaning in a corner.A sensor constantly monitors the lean angle of the motorcycle. If the motorcycle is leaning in a corner and the ABS is activated, the system will use the lean angle measurement to apply the ABS in a manner most suitable to help the rider maintain motorcycle control.WarningThe optimized cornering ABS is a system designed to help the rider in emergency braking situations.The system is designed to give the rider increased control should the ABS be activated while the motorcycle is leaning in a corner.The potential increased control that the optimized cornering braking system allows under certain conditions is not a substitute for good riding practice.WarningAlways ride within the legal speed limit.Never ride without due care and attention and always reduce speed in consideration of weather, surface and traffic conditions.Take care when cornering.If the motorcycle is leaning in a corner and the ABS is activated, the optimized cornering ABS will use the lean angle measurement from a sensor to apply the ABS in a manner most suitable to help the rider maintain motorcycle control. The optimized cornering ABS will not however be able to fully counteract the weight and momentum of the motorcycle and braking too hard while cornering may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Under some circumstances it is possible that a motorcycle equipped with optimized cornering ABS may require a longer stopping distance than an equivalent motorcycle without ABS, or an equivalent motorcycle equipped with ABS but not equipped with optimized cornering ABS.
How to Ride the Motorcycle151WarningIf the optimized cornering ABS is not functioning, the ABS warning light will illuminate and the message ABS SYSTEM - CORNERING ABS DISABLED will be displayed in the multifunction display.In this situation, the ABS will continue to operate but without the optimized cornering function, provided that:• There are no other ABS faults• The ABS has not been disabled by the rider (see Bike Setup on page 76 or Riding Mode Configuration on page 85).Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning light illuminated. In the event of a fault, contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.In this situation, braking too hard during cornering may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.ABS Warning LightWhen the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it is normal for the ABS warning light to flash on and off.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 Bike Setup on page 76 or Riding Mode Configuration on page 85). • the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.If the ABS warning light becomes illuminated while riding, it indicates that the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation. One of the following warning messages may be displayed in the multifunction display: • WARNING - ABS SYSTEM DISABLED • ABS SYSTEM - CORNERING ABS DISABLED (models equipped with optimized cornering ABS only).For more information on the ABS warning light, see page 61.
How to Ride the Motorcycle152WarningThe ABS warning light will illuminate after three minutes, if the rear wheel is driven while the motorcycle is on a stand.If the motorcycle was ridden prior to being placed on a stand, this time will reduced to one minute and the ABS warning light will be accompanied by the MIL.This reaction is normal.When the ignition is switched off and the motorcycle is restarted, the warning light(s) will remain illuminated until the motorcycle reaches a speed exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h).WarningThe ABS computer operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels.Use of non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident in conditions where the ABS would normally function.Hill Hold Control (if equipped)Hill hold control assists the rider in making hill starts. The system (when activated) will apply the rear brake to hold the motorcycle in position. The system will then automatically deactivate and release the rear brake when it detects that the rider is attempting to move off.WarningAvoid activating the hill hold control system on slippery surfaces.The hill hold control system will not be able to prevent the motorcycle from slipping, if it is activated on a surface where there is insufficient levels of tire grip to hold the motorcycle in position.Activating the hill hold control system on a slippery surface could cause the motorcycle to slip, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
How to Ride the Motorcycle153WarningThe hill hold control system will deactivate if the side stand is moved to the down position, the ignition is switched off, the engine stop switch is moved to the STOP position or if the engine is stopped for any other reason.The hill hold control system will also deactivate if a fault occurs which causes the MIL to illuminate.In these circumstances, the front brake must be manually applied to prevent the motorcycle from rolling.Failure to prevent the motorcycle from rolling may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.CautionThe hill hold control system is not designed to be used as a parking brake.Do not continually activate the hill hold system for periods of longer than 10 minutes.Continuous activation of the hill hold control system for periods of longer than 10 minutes may cause damage to the ABS system.ActivationNote:• The hill hold control system will not operate if there is a fault with the ABS or engine management systems and the ABS and/or MIL warning lights are illuminated.To activate the hill hold control system, bring the motorcycle to a stop.For hill hold control to activate: • The engine must be running • The side stand must be in the up position • The motorcycle must be stationary.When all of the above conditions are met, squeeze the front brake lever firmly and quickly, then release. Upon releasing the lever, the message HILL HOLD ACTIVATED will appear in the multifunction display.The hill hold control system is now active and the rear brake will be automatically applied.The message HILL HOLD ACTIVATED will remain visible in the multifunction display until hill hold control is deactivated.The rear brake will remain applied until: • The system detects that the rider is attempting to move off. • Hill hold control is manually deactivated by the rider.
How to Ride the Motorcycle154DeactivationThe hill hold control system will automatically deactivate when it detects that the rider is attempting to move off. The system will progressively release the rear brake to assist the rider in moving off.The hill hold control system can also be manually deactivated by a second firm squeeze of the front brake lever.The message HILL HOLD DEACTIVATED will be displayed briefly in the multifunction display.Hill Hold Unavailable MessageIf when attempting to activate the hill hold control system, the message HILL HOLD UNAVAILABLE - CHECK MANUAL is displayed, this indicates one or more of the following: • The activation conditions described on page 153 have not been met. • There is a fault with the ABS or engine management systems and the ABS and/or MIL warning lights are illuminated.

Accessories, Loading and Passengers158ACCESSORIES, LOADING AND PASSENGERSThe addition of accessories and carrying additional weight can affect the motorcycle's handling characteristics causing changes in stability and necessitating a reduction in speed. The following information has been prepared as a guide to the potential hazards of adding accessories to a motorcycle and carrying passengers and additional loads.WarningThis motorcycle must not be operated above the legal road speed limit except in authorized closed-course conditions.WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course, on-road competition or on closed-course racetracks. High speed operation should only then be attempted by riders who have been instructed in the techniques necessary for high speed riding and are familiar with the motorcycle's characteristics in all conditions.High speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningDo not move or lift the motorcycle by using any part of the luggage system or any accessories.Damage to the motorcycle and/or personal injury may occur.AccessoriesWarningDo not install accessories or carry luggage that impairs the control of the motorcycle.Make sure that you have not adversely affected the visibility of any lighting component, road clearance, banking capability (i.e. lean angle), control operation, wheel travel, front fork movement, visibility in any direction, or any other aspect of the motorcycle's operation.
Accessories, Loading and Passengers159WarningNever 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 and an accident.When riding at high speed, always be aware that various motorcycle configuration and environmental factors can adversely affect the stability of your motorcycle. For example:• Incorrectly balanced loads on both sides of the motorcycle.• Incorrectly adjusted front and rear suspension settings.• Incorrectly adjusted tire pressures.• Excessively or unevenly worn tires.• Side winds and turbulence from other vehicles.• Loose clothing.Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h) absolute limit will reduce by the installation of non-approved accessories, incorrect loading, worn tires, overall motorcycle condition and poor road or weather conditions.WarningOwners 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.LoadingWarningIncorrect loading may result in an unsafe riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Accessories, Loading and Passengers160Warning ContinuedAlways make sure that any loads carried are evenly distributed on both sides of the motorcycle. Make sure that the load is correctly secured such that it will not move around while the motorcycle is in motion.Evenly distribute the load within each pannier. Pack heavy items at the bottom and on the inboard side of the pannier.Always check the load security regularly (though not while the motorcycle is in motion) and make sure that the load does not extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle. Never exceed the maximum vehicle loading weight of:Tiger 1200 XR - 507 lb (230 kg)Tiger 1200 XRx - 502 lb (228 kg)Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH - 507 lb (230 kg)Tiger 1200 XRT - 502 lb (228 kg)Tiger 1200 XCx - 491 lb (223 kg)Tiger 1200 XCA - 493 lb (224 kg).This maximum loading weight is made up from the combined weight of the rider, passenger, any accessories installed and any load carried.For models that have manually adjustable suspension, make sure that front and rear spring preload and damping settings are suitable for the loading condition of the motorcycle (see page 185).Note the maximum permissible payload for the panniers is stated on a label inside the pannier.WarningThe maximum safe load for each pannier is stated on a label inside the pannier.Never exceed this loading limit as this may cause the motorcycle to become unstable leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningThe maximum safe load for the top box is stated on a label inside the top box.Never exceed this loading limit as this may cause the motorcycle to become unstable leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningNever attempt to store any items between the frame and the fuel tank. This can restrict the steering and will cause loss of motorcycle control leading to an accident.Weight attached to the handlebar or front fork will increase the mass of the steering assembly and can result in loss of steering control leading to an accident.XX
Accessories, Loading and Passengers161WarningIf the passenger seat is used to carry small objects, they must not exceed 5 kg (11 lb) in weight, must not impair control of the motorcycle, must be securely attached and must not extend beyond the rear or sides of the motorcycle.Carrying objects in excess of 5 kg (11 lb) in weight, that are insecure, impair control or extend beyond the rear or sides of the motorcycle may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Even if small objects are correctly loaded onto the passenger seat, the maximum speed of the motorcycle must be reduced to 80 mph (130 km/h).Note:• Adjust the headlight aim to compensate for additional loads (see page 203).PassengersWarningThe handling and braking capabilities of a motorcycle will be affected by the presence of a passenger. The rider must make allowances for these changes when operating the motorcycle with a passenger and should not attempt such operation unless trained to do so and without becoming familiar and comfortable with the changes in motorcycle operating characteristics that this brings about.Motorcycle operation without making allowances for the presence of a passenger could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningDo not carry a passenger unless they are tall enough to reach the footrests provided.A passenger who is not tall enough to reach the footrests will be unable to sit securely on the motorcycle and may cause instability leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Accessories, Loading and Passengers162WarningYour passenger should be instructed that they can cause loss of motorcycle control by making sudden movements or by adopting an incorrect seated position.The rider should instruct the passenger as follows:• It is important that the passenger sits still while the motorcycle is in motion and does not interfere with the operation of the motorcycle.• To keep their feet on the passenger footrests and to firmly hold onto the grab handles or the rider's waist or hips.Advise the passenger to lean with the rider when traveling around corners and not to lean unless the rider does so.WarningThe handling and braking capabilities of a motorcycle will be affected by the presence of a passenger.

Maintenance169Engine OilcbnzWarningMotorcycle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated engine wear and may result in engine or transmission seizure.Seizure of the engine or transmission may lead to sudden loss of motorcycle control and an accident.In order for the engine, transmission, and clutch to function correctly, maintain the engine oil at the correct level, and change the oil and oil filter in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.Engine Oil Level InspectionWarningNever 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 open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation.CautionRunning the engine with insufficient engine oil will cause engine damage.If the low oil pressure warning light remains on, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.2431chgz_11. Filler plug2. Sight glass3. Engine oil level (correct level shown)4. Crankcase engine oil level linesTo inspect the engine oil level: • With the motorcycle upright and off the side stand, check to see if engine oil is visible in the sight glass at a point halfway between the upper (maximum) and lower (minimum) horizontal lines marked on the crankcase. • If it is necessary to top off the engine oil level, remove the filler plug and add engine oil, a little at a time, until the level registered in the sight glass is correct. Reinstall and tighten the filler plug.
Maintenance170Note:• An accurate indication of the level of oil in the engine is only shown when the engine is at normal operating temperature and the motorcycle is upright (not on the side/center stand). • Start the engine and run at idle for approximately five minutes. • Stop the engine, then wait for at least three minutes for the engine oil to settle. • Note the engine oil level visible in the sight glass. • When correct, engine oil should be visible in the sight glass at a point halfway between the upper (maximum) and lower (minimum) horizontal lines marked on the crankcase. • If necessary, top off the engine oil level as described earlier. • Once the correct level is reached, install and tighten the filler plug.Engine Oil and Oil Filter ChangeWarningProlonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis.In addition, used engine oil contains harmful contamination that can lead to skin cancer.Always wear suitable protective clothing and avoid skin contact with used engine oil.The engine oil and filter must be replaced in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.chgy_1121. Engine oil drain plug2. Oil filterTo change the engine oil and oil filter: • Warm up the engine thoroughly, and then stop the engine and secure the motorcycle in an upright position on level ground. • Place an oil drain pan beneath the engine. • Remove the engine oil drain plug.
Maintenance171WarningThe engine oil may be hot. Contact with hot oil may cause the skin to be scalded or burned.Always wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection and avoid skin contact with the engine oil. • Unscrew and remove the oil filter using Triumph service tool T3880313. Dispose of the old filter in an environmentally friendly way. • Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil to the sealing ring of the new oil filter. • Install the oil filter and tighten to 89 lbf in (10 Nm). • After the engine oil has completely drained out, mount a new sealing washer to the engine oil drain plug. • Install and tighten the engine oil drain plug to 18 lbf ft (25 Nm). • Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil that meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in some countries. • Start the engine and allow it to idle for a minimum of 30 seconds.CautionRaising the engine speed above idle before the engine oil reaches all parts of the engine can cause engine damage or seizure.Only raise engine speed after running the engine for 30 seconds to allow the engine oil to circulate fully.CautionIf the engine oil pressure is too low, the low oil pressure warning light will illuminate.If this light stays on when the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.Running the engine with low oil pressure will cause engine damage. • Make sure that the low oil pressure warning light remains off after starting and the message WARNING - OIL PRESSURE LOW is not visible in the instrument's display screen. • Stop the engine and recheck the engine oil level. Adjust if necessary.Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil FiltersTo protect the environment, do not pour oil on the ground, down sewers or drains, or into groundwater sources. Do not place used oil filters in with general waste. If in doubt, contact your local authority.
Maintenance172Oil Specification and GradeTriumph's high performance fuel injected engines are designed to use 10W/40 or 10W /50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil that meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in some countries.Refer to the chart below for the correct oil viscosity (10W/40 or 10W/50) to be used in your riding area.-20-10010203040-41450326886104(°C)(°F)Ambient Temperature (°C)Ambient Temperature (°F)SAE 10W/50SAE 10W/40Oil Viscosity Temperature RangeDo not add any chemical additives to the engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates the clutch and any additives could cause the clutch to slip.Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil not conforming to the required specification. The use of these oils may cause instant, severe engine damage.Make sure that no foreign matter enters the crankcase during an engine oil change or top off.Cooling SystemTo ensure efficient engine cooling, check the coolant level each day before riding the motorcycle, and top off the coolant if the level is low.Note:• A year round, Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (known as Hybrid OAT or HOAT) coolant is installed in the cooling system when the motorcycle leaves the factory. It is colored green, contains a 50% solution of ethylene glycol based antifreeze, and has a freezing point of -31°F (-35°C).Corrosion Inhibitors WarningHD4X Hybrid OAT coolant contains corrosion inhibitors and antifreeze suitable for aluminum engines and radiators. Always use the coolant in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.Coolant that contains anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitors contains toxic chemicals that are harmful to the human body. Never swallow antifreeze or any of the motorcycle coolant.
Maintenance173Note:• HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied by Triumph, is premixed and does not need to be diluted prior to filling or topping off the cooling system.To protect the cooling system from corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor chemicals in the coolant is essential.If coolant containing a corrosion inhibitor is not used, the cooling system will accumulate rust and scale in the water jacket and radiator. This will block the coolant passages, and considerably reduce the efficiency of the cooling system.Coolant Level InspectionNote:• The coolant level should be checked when the engine is cold (at room or ambient temperature).2311. Expansion tank2. MAX mark3. MIN markTo inspect the coolant level: • Position the motorcycle on level ground and in an upright position (not on the center stand). The expansion tank can be viewed from the left hand side of the motorcycle. • Check the coolant level in the expansion tank. The coolant level must be between the MAX and MIN marks. If the coolant is below the minimum level, the coolant level must be adjusted.Coolant Level AdjustmentWarningDo not remove the expansion tank cap when the engine is hot.When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the radiator will be hot and also under pressure.Contact with this hot, pressurized coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.211. Expansion tank cap2. Expansion tank
Maintenance174To adjust the coolant level: • Allow the engine to cool. • The expansion tank cap can be removed from the left hand side of the motorcycle. • Remove the expansion tank cap from the expansion tank and add coolant mixture through the filler opening until the level reaches the MAX mark. • Reinstall the expansion tank cap.Note:• If the coolant level is being checked because the coolant has overheated, also check the level in the radiator and top off if necessary.• In an emergency, distilled water can be added to the cooling system. However, the coolant must then be drained and replenished with HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant as soon as possible.CautionIf hard water is used in the cooling system, it will cause scale accumulation in the engine and radiator and considerably reduce the efficiency of the cooling system.Reduced cooling system efficiency may cause the engine to overheat and suffer severe damage.Coolant ChangeIt is recommended that the coolant is changed by an authorised Triumph dealer in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.Radiator and HosesWarningThe fan operates automatically when the engine is running. Always keep hands and clothing away from the fan as contact with the rotating fan can cause injury.CautionUsing high pressure water sprays, such as from a car wash facility or household pressure washer, can damage the radiator fins, cause leaks and impair the radiator's efficiency.Do not obstruct or deflect airflow through the radiator by installing unauthorized accessories, either in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Interference with the radiator airflow can cause overheating, potentially resulting in engine damage.Check the radiator hoses for cracks or deterioration, and hose clips for tightness in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Have your authorized Triumph dealer replace any defective items.Check the radiator grille and fins for obstructions by insects, leaves or mud. Clean off any obstructions with a stream of low pressure water.
Maintenance175Throttle ControlWarningUse of the motorcycle with a sticking or damaged throttle control will interfere with the throttle function resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.To avoid continued use of a sticking or damaged throttle control, always have it checked by your authorized Triumph dealer.InspectionCheck that the throttle opens smoothly, without undue force and that it closes without sticking. Have your authorized Triumph dealer check the throttle system if a problem is detected or any doubt exists.Check that there is 0.04 - 0.08 in (1 - 2 mm) of throttle grip free play when lightly turning the throttle grip back and forth.If there is an incorrect amount of free play, Triumph recommends that you have your authorized Triumph dealer investigate.ClutchThe motorcycle is equipped with a hydraulically operated clutch that does not require adjustment.Clutch Fluid Level Inspection and AdjustmentWarningUse only DOT 4 specification brake and clutch fluid as listed in the specification section of this handbook. The use of brake and clutch fluids other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in the specification section may reduce the efficiency of the clutch system leading to an accident.Failure to change the brake and clutch fluid at the interval specified in the scheduled maintenance chart may reduce clutch efficiency resulting in an accident.Inspect the level of brake and clutch fluid in the reservoir and change the fluid in accordance with the scheduled maintenance requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as recommended in the
Maintenance176specification section. The brake and clutch fluid must also be changed if it becomes, or is suspected of having become contaminated with moisture or any other contaminants.2345111. Reservoir cover screws2. Reservoir cover3. Diaphragm seal4. Upper level line5. Lower level lineThe brake and clutch fluid in the reservoir must be kept between the upper and lower level lines (reservoir held horizontal).To adjust the brake and clutch fluid level: • Release the reservoir cover screws, then remove the reservoir cover noting the position of the diaphragm seal. • Fill the reservoir to the upper level line using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container. • Reinstall the reservoir cover making sure that the diaphragm seal is correctly positioned between the reservoir cover and reservoir body. • Tighten the reservoir cover screws to 13 lbf in (1.5 Nm).Final Drive UnitOther than checking the final drive oil level, the unit contains no user serviceable parts. If a fault occurs with the final drive unit, your Triumph dealer must replace the complete assembly.Check the final drive unit for oil leaks in accordance with the scheduled maintenance chart.Final Drive Oil Level AdjustmentWarningUnder no circumstances should the final drive unit be disassembled.Failure to observe this warning could lead to a malfunction of the final drive unit causing lock-up of the rear wheel leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.11.

Maintenance177To check the oil level in the final drive unit: • Remove the filler level plug. • Fill with 75W/90 fully synthetic hypoid oil that meets specification API Service Level GL5, such as Castrol SAF-XO fully synthetic hypoid oil, until the level of oil inside the unit is level with the bottom of the filler. • Reinstall the plug and tighten to 18 lbf ft (25 Nm).BrakesBrake Wear Inspectioncbmz_2121. Brake pads2. Minimum thickness lineBrake pads must be inspected in accordance with scheduled requirements and replaced if worn to, or beyond the minimum service thickness.If the lining thickness of any pad (front or rear brakes) is less than 0.06 in (1.5 mm), that is, if the pad has worn down to the bottom of the grooves, replace all the pads on the wheel.
Maintenance178Breaking-in New Brake Discs and PadsWarningBrake pads must always be replaced as a wheel set. At the front, where two calipers are installed on the same wheel, replace all the brake pads in both calipers.Replacing individual pads will reduce braking efficiency and may cause an accident.After replacement brake pads have been mounted, ride with extreme caution until the new pads have broken in.WarningBrake pad wear will be increased if the motorcycle is used frequently off-road. Always inspect the brake pads more frequently if the motorcycle is used off-road, and replace the brake pads before they become worn to, or beyond the minimum service thickness.Riding with worn brake pads may reduce braking efficiency, leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Triumph recommend a period of careful breaking-in for new brake discs and pads that, if followed correctly, will optimize their performance and longevity.The recommended distance for breaking-in new brake discs and pads is 200 miles (300 km).During the breaking-in period, avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and allow for greater braking distances.Brake Pad Wear CompensationWarningIf the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel becomes excessive, there may be air in the brake lines and hoses or the brakes may be defective.It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such conditions and your authorized Triumph dealer must rectify the fault before riding.Riding with defective brakes may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Disc and brake pad wear is automatically compensated for and has no effect on the brake lever or pedal action. There are no parts that require adjustment on the front and rear brakes.
Maintenance179Disc Brake FluidWarningBrake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air.Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid causing a reduction in braking efficiency.Because of this, always replace brake fluid in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container and never use fluid from an unsealed container or from one which has been previously opened.Do not mix different brands or grades of brake fluid.Check for fluid leakage around brake installed, seals and joints and also check the brake hoses for splits, deterioration and damage.Always rectify any faults before riding.Failure to observe and act upon any of these items may cause a dangerous riding condition leading to loss of control and an accident.WarningIf the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS equipped brake system. In this situation, braking too hard will cause the wheels to lock resulting in loss of control and an accident.Reduce speed and do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the indicator light illuminated. Contact an authorized Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.Inspect the level of brake fluid in both reservoirs and change the brake fluid in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as recommended in the Specification section. The brake fluid must also be changed if it becomes, or is suspected of having become contaminated with moisture or any other contaminants.Note:• A special tool is required to bleed the ABS braking system. Contact your authorized Triumph dealer when the brake fluid needs replacing or the hydraulic system requires maintenance.
Maintenance180Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection and AdjustmentWarningIf there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the brake fluid in either brake fluid reservoir, consult your authorized Triumph dealer for advice before riding.Riding with depleted brake fluid levels, or with a brake fluid leak is dangerous and will cause reduced brake performance potentially leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.211. Upper level line2. Lower level lineThe brake fluid level in the reservoirs must be kept between the upper and lower level lines (reservoir held horizontal).To inspect the front brake fluid level: • Check the level of brake fluid visible in the window at the front of the reservoir body.To adjust the front brake fluid level: • Release the reservoir cover screws, then remove the reservoir cover noting the position of the diaphragm seal. • Fill the reservoir to the upper level line using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container. • Reinstall the reservoir cover making sure that the diaphragm seal is correctly positioned between the reservoir cover and reservoir body. • Tighten the reservoir cover screws to 13 lbf in (1.5 Nm).
Maintenance181Rear Brake Fluid Inspection and AdjustmentWarningIf there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the brake fluid in either brake fluid reservoir, consult your authorized Triumph dealer for advice before riding.Riding with depleted brake fluid levels, or with a brake fluid leak is dangerous and will cause reduced brake performance potentially leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.chgp_32131. Rear brake fluid reservoir2. Upper level line3. Lower level lineTo inspect the rear brake fluid level: • The reservoir is visible from the right hand side of the motorcycle, through a viewing window in the rider’s heel guard.To adjust the rear brake fluid level: • Loosen the screws and remove the heel guard. • Release the reservoir cover screws, then remove the reservoir cover and the diaphragm seal. • Fill the reservoir to the upper level line using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container. • Reinstall the reservoir cover making sure that the diaphragm seal is correctly positioned between the reservoir cover and reservoir body. • Tighten the reservoir cover screws to 13 lbf in (1.5 Nm). • Reinstall the heel guard and tighten its screws to 62 lbf in (7 Nm).Brake LightWarningRiding the motorcycle with defective brake lights is illegal and dangerous.An accident causing injury to the rider and other road users may result from use of a motorcycle with defective brake lights.The brake light is activated independently by either the front or rear brake. If, with the ignition in the ON position, the brake light does not work when the front brake lever is pulled or the rear brake pedal is pressed, have your authorized Triumph dealer investigate and rectify the fault.
Maintenance182Steering/Wheel BearingsCautionTo prevent risk of injury from the motorcycle falling during the inspection, make sure that the motorcycle is stabilized and secured on a suitable support.Do not exert extreme force against each wheel or rock each wheel vigorously as this may cause the motorcycle to become unstable and cause injury by falling from its support.Make sure that the position of the support block will not cause damage to the sump.Steering InspectionLubricate and inspect the condition of the steering (steering head) bearings in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.Note:• Always inspect the wheel bearings at the same time as the steering bearings.Steering (Steering Head) Bearings InspectionWarningRiding the motorcycle with incorrectly adjusted or defective steering (steering head) bearings is dangerous and may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Inspecting the Steering for Free PlayTo inspect the steering bearings: • Position the motorcycle on level ground, in an upright position. • Raise the front wheel above the ground and support the motorcycle. • Standing at the front of the motorcycle, hold the lower end of the outer tube of the front forks as illustrated above and 'rock' with a front-to-rear motion. • If any free play can be detected in the steering (headstock) bearings, ask your authorized Triumph dealer to inspect and rectify any faults before riding. • Remove the support and place the motorcycle on the side stand.
Maintenance183Wheel Bearings InspectionWarningOperation with worn or damaged front or rear wheel bearings is dangerous and may cause impaired handling and instability leading to an accident.If in doubt, have the motorcycle inspected by an authorized Triumph dealer before riding.Note:• If the wheel bearings in the front or rear wheel allow play in the wheel hub, are noisy, or if the wheel does not turn smoothly, have your authorized Triumph dealer inspect the wheel bearings.The wheel bearings must be inspected at the intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance chart.To inspect the wheel bearings: • Position the motorcycle on level ground, in an upright position. • Raise the front wheel above the ground and support the motorcycle. • Standing at the side of the motorcycle, gently rock the top of the front wheel from side to side. • If any free play can be detected, ask your authorized Triumph dealer to inspect and rectify any faults before riding. • Reposition the lifting device and repeat the procedure for the rear wheel. • Remove the support and place the motorcycle on the side stand.Front SuspensionFront Fork InspectionWarningRiding the motorcycle with defective or damaged suspension is dangerous and may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningNever attempt to dismantle any part of the suspension units, as all units contain pressurized oil.Skin and eye damage can result from contact with the pressurized oil.Examine each fork for any sign of damage, scratching of the slider surface, or for oil leaks.If any damage or leakage is found, consult an authorized Triumph dealer.To check that the forks operate smoothly: • Position the motorcycle on level ground. • While holding the handlebars and applying the front brake, pump the forks up and down several times. • If roughness or excessive stiffness is detected, consult your authorized Triumph dealer.

Maintenance188TirescboaThis model is equipped with tubeless tires, valves and wheel rims. Use only tires marked TUBELESS and tubeless valves on rims marked SUITABLE FOR TUBELESS TYRES.WarningDo not install tube-type tires on tubeless rims. The bead will not seat and the tires could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire deflation that may result in a loss of motorcycle control and an accident. Never install an inner tube inside a tubeless tire. This will cause friction inside the tire and the resulting heat build-up may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.cfhb_1Typical Tire Marking - Tubeless Tire1chez_2Typical Tire Marking - Cast Wheel
Maintenance189TUBELESSTypical Tire Marking - Spoked WheelTire Inflation PressuresWarningIncorrect tire inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and instability problems which may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Underinflation may result in the tire slipping on, or coming off the rim. Overinflation will cause instability and accelerated tread wear.Both conditions are dangerous as they may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningTire pressures which have been reduced for off-road riding will impair on-road stability. Always make sure that the tire pressures are set as described in the Specification section for on-road use.Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect tire pressures may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Correct tire inflation pressures will provide maximum stability, rider comfort and tire life. Always check tire pressures before riding when the tires are cold. Check tire pressures daily and adjust if necessary (see Specification section for correct inflation pressures). Alternatively, ask your authorized Triumph dealer to inspect your wheels and tires.Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if equipped)The tire pressures shown on your instruments indicate the actual tire pressure at the time of selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation pressure set when the tires are cold because tires become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tire to expand and increase the inflation pressure. The cold inflation pressures specified by Triumph take account of this.Owners must only adjust tire pressures when the tires are cold using an accurate pressure gage, and must not use the tire pressure display on the instruments.Tire WearAs the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more susceptible to punctures and failure. It is estimated that 90% of all tire problems occur during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn). It is recommended that tires are changed before they are worn to their minimum tread depth.
Maintenance190Minimum Recommended Tread DepthIn accordance with the periodic maintenance chart, measure the depth of the tread with a depth gage, and replace any tire that has worn to, or beyond, the minimum allowable tread depth specified in the table below:Under 80 mph (130 km/h)0.08 in (2 mm)Over 80 mph (130 km/h)Rear 0.12 in (3 mm) Front 0.08 in (2 mm)WarningThis motorcycle must not be operated above the legal road speed limit except in authorized closed-course conditions.WarningOnly operate this Triumph motorcycle at high speed in closed-course, on-road competition or on closed-course racetracks.High speed operation should only then be attempted by riders who have been instructed in the techniques necessary for high speed riding and are familiar with the motorcycle's characteristics in all conditions.High speed operation in any other circumstances is dangerous and will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningOperation with excessively worn tires is hazardous and will adversely affect traction, stability and handling which may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.When tires become punctured, leakage is often very slow. Always inspect tires very closely for punctures. Check the tires for cuts, embedded nails or other sharp objects. Operation with punctured or damaged tires will adversely affect stability and handling which may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Check the rims for dents or deformation and spokes for looseness and damage. Operation with damaged or defective wheels, spokes or tires is dangerous and loss of motorcycle control and an accident could result.Always consult your authorized Triumph dealer for tire replacement, or for a safety inspection of the wheels, spokes and tires.Tire ReplacementAll Triumph motorcycles are carefully and extensively tested in a range of riding conditions to ensure that the most effective tire combinations are approved for use on this model. It is essential that approved tires, mounted in approved combinations, are used when purchasing replacement tires. The use of non-approved tires, or approved tires in non-approved combinations,
Maintenance191may lead to motorcycle instability and an accident. On models equipped with ABS, different wheel speeds, caused by non-approved tires can affect the function of the ABS computer.See the Specification section for details of approved tire combinations. Always have tires mounted and balanced by your authorized Triumph dealer who has the necessary training and skills to ensure safe, effective mounting.Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if equipped)WarningUse of non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed and cause the Triumph traction control function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident in conditions where the Triumph traction control would normally function.WarningThe ABS computer operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels. Use of non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident in conditions where the ABS would normally function.WarningIf a tire sustains a puncture, the tire must be replaced. Failure to replace a punctured tire, or operation with a repaired tire can lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningDo not install tube-type tires on tubeless rims. The bead will not seat and the tires could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control and an accident.Never install an inner tube inside a tubeless tire.This will cause friction inside the tire and the resulting heat build-up may cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningIf tire damage is suspected, such as after striking the curb, ask your authorized Triumph dealer to inspect the tire both internally and externally. Remember, tire damage may not always be visible from the outside.Operation of the motorcycle with damaged tires could lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Maintenance192WarningWhen replacement tires are required, consult your authorized Triumph dealer who will arrange for the tires to be selected, in a correct combination, from the approved list and mounted according to the tire manufacturer's instructions.When tires are replaced, allow time for the tires to seat to the rim (approximately 24 hours). During this seating period, ride cautiously as an incorrectly seated tire could cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Initially, the new tires will not produce the same handling characteristics as the worn tires and the rider must allow adequate riding distance (approximately 100 miles) to become accustomed to the new handling characteristics.24 hours after mounting, the tire pressures must be checked and adjusted, and the tires examined for correct seating. Rectification must be carried out as necessary.The same checks and adjustments must also be carried out when 100 miles have been traveled after installation.Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated tires, incorrectly adjusted tire pressures, or when not accustomed to its handling characteristics may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningTires that have been used on a rolling road dynamometer may become damaged. In some cases, the damage may not be visible on the external surface of the tire.Tires must be replaced after such use as continued use of a damaged tire may lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningUse of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated tires, incorrectly adjusted tire pressures, or when not accustomed to its handling characteristics may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.WarningAccurate wheel balance is necessary for safe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Do not remove or change any wheel balance weights. Incorrect wheel balance may cause instability leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.When wheel balancing is required, such as after tire replacement, see your authorized Triumph dealer.Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-on weights may damage the wheel and tire resulting in tire deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Maintenance193CautionAn adhesive label is installed to the wheel rim to indicate the position of the tire pressure sensor. Care must be taken when replacing the tires to prevent any damage to the tire pressure sensors.Always have your tires mounted by your authorized Triumph dealer and inform them that tire pressure sensors are installed on the wheels.CautionDo not use anti puncture fluid or any other item likely to obstruct air flow to the TPMS sensor's orifices. Any blockage to the air pressure orifice of the TPMS sensor during operation will cause the sensor to become blocked, causing irreparable damage to the TPMS sensor assembly.Damage caused by the use of anti puncture fluid or incorrect maintenance is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.Always have your tires mounted by your authorized Triumph dealer and inform them that tire pressure sensors are installed on the wheels.BatteryWarningUnder some circumstances, the battery can give off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space.The battery contains sulfuric acid (battery acid). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield.If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with water immediately.If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.WarningThe battery contains harmful materials. Always keep children away from the battery whether or not it is installed in the motorcycle.Do not attach jump leads to the battery, touch the battery cables together or reverse the polarity of the cables as any of these actions may cause a spark which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.
Maintenance194Battery RemovalWarningMake sure that the battery terminals do not touch the motorcycle frame as this may cause a short circuit or spark, which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.To remove the battery: • Remove the rider's seat. • Remove the wing nut and remove the chassis Electronic Control Module (ECM) cover.1 21.

Maintenance195Battery MaintenanceWarningBattery acid is corrosive and poisonous and will cause damage to unprotected skin. Never swallow battery acid or allow it to come into contact with the skin. To prevent injury, always wear eye and skin protection when handling the battery.Clean the battery using a clean, dry cloth. Make sure that the cable connections are clean.The battery is a sealed type and does not require any maintenance other than checking the voltage and routine recharging when required, such as during storage (see the following paragraphs).It is not possible to adjust the battery acid level in the battery; the sealing strip must not be removed.Battery DischargeCautionThe charge level in the battery must be maintained to maximize battery life.Failure to maintain the battery charge level could cause serious internal damage to the battery.Under normal conditions, the motorcycle charging system will keep the battery fully charged. However, if the motorcycle is unused, the battery will gradually discharge due to a normal process called self discharge; the clock, Engine Control Module (ECM) memory, high ambient temperatures, or the addition of electrical security systems or other electrical accessories will all increase this rate of battery discharge. Disconnecting the battery from the motorcycle during storage will reduce the rate of discharge.Battery Discharge During Storage and Infrequent Use of the MotorcycleDuring storage or infrequent use of the motorcycle, inspect the battery voltage weekly using a digital multimeter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the meter.Should the battery voltage fall below 12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged.Allowing a battery to discharge or leaving it discharged for even a short period of time causes sulphation of the lead plates. Sulphation is a normal part of the chemical reaction inside the battery, however over time the sulphate can crystallize on the plates making recovery difficult or impossible. This permanent damage is not covered by the motorcycle warranty, as it is not due to a manufacturing defect.Keeping the battery fully charged reduces the likelihood of it freezing in cold conditions. Allowing a battery to freeze will cause serious internal damage to the battery.
Maintenance196Battery ChargingWarningThe battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space.The battery contains sulfuric acid (battery acid). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield.If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with water immediately.If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.CautionDo not use an automotive quick charger as it may overcharge and damage the battery.For help with selecting a battery charger, checking the battery voltage or battery charging, contact your local authorized Triumph dealer.Should the battery voltage fall below 12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged using a Triumph approved battery charger. Always remove the battery from the motorcycle and follow the instructions supplied with the battery charger.For extended periods of storage (beyond two weeks) the battery should be removed from the motorcycle and kept charged using a Triumph approved maintenance charger.Similarly, should the battery charge fall to a level where it will not start the motorcycle, remove the battery from the motorcycle before charging.
Maintenance197Battery InstallationWarningMake sure that the battery terminals do not touch the motorcycle frame as this may cause a short circuit or spark, which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.To install the battery: • Place the battery in the battery case. • Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first. • Apply a light coat of grease to the terminals to prevent corrosion. • Cover the positive terminal with the protective cap. • Re-install the battery strap. • Reinstall the chassis ECM cover and secure with the wing nut. Tighten the wing nut to 11 lbf in (1.25 Nm). • Reinstall the rider's seat.Note:• After reconnecting the battery, it is necessary to allow the TSAS system (if equipped) to recalibrate, see page 108.Fuse BoxesWarningAlways replace blown fuses with new ones of the correct rating (as specified on the fuse box cover) and never use a fuse of higher rating.Use of an incorrect fuse could lead to an electrical problem, resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Main FuseThe 40 Amp main fuse is located beneath the rider's seat and behind the seat bridge.To access the main fuse, the rider’s seat must be removed.11.

Cleaning and Storage208Preparation for WashingBefore washing, precautions must be taken to keep water off the following places.Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover with a plastic bag secured with rubber bands.Clutch and brake levers, switch housings on the handlebar: Cover with plastic bags.Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover the keyhole with tape.Remove any items of jewelry such as rings, watches, zips or belt buckles, which may scratch or otherwise damage painted or polished surfaces.Use separate cleaning sponges or cleaning cloths for washing painted/polished surfaces and chassis areas. Chassis areas (such as wheels and under fenders) will be exposed to more abrasive road grime and dust, which may then scratch painted or polished surfaces, if the same sponge or cleaning cloths are used.Where to be CarefulCautionDo not spray any water at all near the air intake duct. The air intake duct is normally located under the rider’s seat, under the fuel tank or near the steering head. Any water sprayed in this area could enter the airbox and engine, causing damage to both items.CautionUse of high pressure spray washers is not recommended. When using pressure washers, water may be forced into bearings and other components causing premature wear from corrosion and loss of lubrication.Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places: • Instruments; • Brake cylinders and brake calipers; • Under the fuel tank; • Air intake duct; • Steering head bearings; • Wheel bearings.Note:• Use of soaps that are highly alkaline will leave a residue on painted surfaces, and may also cause water spotting. Always use a low alkaline soap to aid the cleaning process.
Cleaning and Storage209WashingPrepare a mixture of cold water and mild automotive cleaner. Do not use a highly alkaline soap as commonly found at commercial car washes because it leaves a residue.Wash the motorcycle with a sponge or soft cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or steel wool. They will damage the finish.Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly with cold water.After WashingWarningNever wax or lubricate the brake discs. Loss of braking power and an accident could result. Clean the disc with a proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc cleaner.Remove the plastic bags and tape, and clear the air intakes.Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.Test the brakes before motorcycle operation.Use a dry cloth or chamois leather to absorb water residue. Do not allow water to stand on the motorcycle as this will lead to corrosion.Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation for the exhaust fumes.
Cleaning and Storage210Care of Matt PaintworkMatt paintwork requires no greater care than that already recommended for high gloss paintwork. • Do not use any polish or wax on matt paintwork. • Do not try and polish out scratches.Care of Gloss PaintworkGloss paintwork should be washed and dried as described above, then protected using a high quality automotive polish. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and repeat regularly to maintain your motorcycle’s appearance.Aluminum Items - not Lacquered or PaintedItems such as brake and clutch levers, wheels, engine covers, engine cooling fins, upper and lower yokes and throttle bodies on some models must be correctly cleaned to preserve their appearance.

Cleaning and Storage211Cleaning of Chrome and Stainless Steel ItemsAll chrome and stainless steel parts of your motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a deterioration of its appearance.WashingWash as previously described.DryingDry the chrome and stainless steel parts as far as possible with a soft cloth or chamois leather.ProtectingCautionThe use of products containing silicone will cause discoloration of the chrome and stainless steel parts and must not be used. Similarly, the use of abrasive cleaners will damage the finish and must not be used.When the chrome and stainless steel is dry, apply a suitable proprietary chrome cleaner on to the surface, following the manufacturer’s instructions.It is recommended that regular protection be applied to the motorcycle as this will both protect and enhance its appearance.Black ChromeItems such as headlight bowls and mirrors on some models must be correctly cleaned to preserve their appearance. Please contact your dealer if you are unsure which components on your motorcycle are black chrome parts. Maintain the appearance of black chrome items by rubbing a small amount of light oil into the surface.
Cleaning and Storage212Cleaning of the Exhaust SystemAll parts of the exhaust system of your motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to avoid a deterioration of its appearance. These instructions can be applied to chrome, brushed stainless steel and carbon fiber components; matt painted exhaust systems should be cleaned as above, noting the care instructions in the Matt Paintwork section previously.Note:• The exhaust system must be cool before washing to prevent water spotting.Washing Wash as previously described.Make sure that no soap or water enters the exhausts.Drying Dry the exhaust system as far as possible with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not run the engine to dry the system or spotting will occur.Protecting CautionThe use of products containing silicone will cause discoloration of the chrome and must not be used. Similarly, the use of abrasive cleaners will damage the system and must not be used.When the exhaust system is dry, apply a suitable proprietary motorcycle pro-tection spray onto the surface, following the manufacturer’s instructions.It is recommended that regular protection be applied to the system as this will both protect and enhance the system's appearance.Seat CareCautionUse of chemicals or high pressure spray washers is not recommended for cleaning the seat.Using chemicals or high pressure spray washers may damage the seat cover.To help maintain its appearance, clean the seat using a sponge or cleaning cloth with soap and water.
Cleaning and Storage213Windshield Cleaning (if equipped) WarningNever attempt to clean the windshield while the motorcycle is in motion as releasing the handlebars may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.Operation of the motorcycle with a damaged or scratched windshield will reduce the rider's forward vision. Any such reduction in forward vision is dangerous and may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.CautionCorrosive chemicals such as battery acid will damage the windshield. Never allow corrosive chemicals to contact the windshield.CautionProducts such as window cleaning fluids, insect remover, rain repellent, scouring compounds, gasoline or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc. will damage the windshield.Never allow these products to contact the windshield.Clean the windshield with a solution of mild soap or detergent and cold water.After cleaning, rinse well and then dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.If the transparency of the windshield is reduced by scratches or oxidation which cannot be removed, the windshield must be replaced.
Cleaning and Storage214Care of Leather ProductsWe recommend that you periodically clean your leather products with a damp cloth and allow them to dry naturally at room temperature. This will maintain the appearance of the leather and ensure the long life of your product.Your Triumph leather product is a natural product and lack of care can result in damage and permanent wear. Follow these simple instructions and give your leather product the respect it deserves: • Do not use household cleaning products, bleach, detergents con-taining bleach or any kind of sol-vent to clean your leather product. • Do not immerse your leather product in water. • Avoid direct heat from fires and radiators which can dry out and distort the leather. • Do not leave your leather product in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. • Do not dry your leather product by applying direct heat to it at any time. • If your leather product does get wet, absorb any excess water with a soft clean cloth then leave the product to dry naturally at room temperature. • Avoid exposure of your leather product to high levels of salt, for example sea/salt water or road surfaces that have been treated during the winter for ice and snow. • If exposure to salt is unavoidable, clean your leather product immediately after each exposure using a damp cloth then leave the product to dry naturally at room temperature. • Gently clean any minor marks with a damp cloth then leave the product to dry naturally at room temperature. • Place your leather product in a fabric bag or cardboard box to protect it when in storage. Do not use a plastic bag.
Cleaning and Storage215Preparation for StorageClean and dry the entire vehicle thoroughly.Fill the fuel tank with the correct grade of unleaded fuel and add a fuel stabilizer (if available), following the fuel stabilizer manufacturer's instructions.WarningGasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Turn the ignition switch off. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.Remove the spark plug from each cylinder and put several drops 0.17 fl oz (5 ml) of engine oil into each cylinder. Cover the spark plug holes with a piece of cloth or rag. With the engine stop switch in the RUN position, push the starter button for a few seconds to coat the cylinder walls with oil. Install the spark plugs, tightening to 9 lbf ft (12 Nm).Change the engine oil and filter (see page 170).Check and if necessary correct the tire pressures.Set the motorcycle on a stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground. (If this cannot be done, put boards under the front and rear wheels to keep dampness away from the tires.)Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are a host of products on the market and your dealer will be able to offer you local advice) on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Prevent oil from getting on rubber parts, brake discs or in the brake calipers.Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50% mixture of coolant (noting that HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied by Triumph, is premixed and requires no dilution) and distilled water solution (see page 172).Remove the battery, and store it where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or freezing temperatures. During storage it should be given a slow charge (one ampere or less) approximately once every two weeks (see page 193).Store the motorcycle in a cool, dry area, away from sunlight, and with a minimum daily temperature variation.Put a suitable porous cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from collecting on it. Avoid using plastic or similar non-breathable, coated materials that restrict air flow and allow heat and moisture to accumulate.
Cleaning and Storage216Preparation after StorageInstall the battery (if removed) (see page 197).If the motorcycle has been stored for more than four months, change the engine oil (see page 170).Check all the points listed in the Daily Safety Checks section.Before starting the engine, remove the spark plugs from each cylinder.Put the side stand down.Crank the engine on the starter motor several times until the oil pressure light goes out.Reinstall the spark plugs, tightening to 9 lbf ft (12 Nm), and start the engine.Check and if necessary correct the tire pressures.Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.Check the brakes for correct operation.Test ride the motorcycle at low speeds.
