Safety First SAFETY FIRST The Motorcycle Warning All models are designed for on-road use and light off-road use. Light offroad 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.
Safety First Warning This motorcycle is designed for use as a two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a rider on his/her own, or a rider and one passenger. The total weight of the rider, and any passenger, accessories and luggage must not exceed the maximum load limit of: Tiger 1200 XR - 230 kg (507 lb) Tiger 1200 XRx - 228 kg (502 lb) Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH - 230 kg (507 lb) Tiger 1200 XRT - 228 kg (502 lb) Tiger 1200 XCx - 223 kg (491 lb) Tiger 1200 XCA - 224 kg (493 lb).
Safety First Helmet and Clothing Warning When riding the motorcycle, both rider and passenger must always wear a motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket. Brightly coloured clothing will considerably increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility to other operators of road vehicles. Although full protection is not possible, wearing correct protective clothing can reduce the risk of injury when riding.
Safety First Warning This Triumph motorcycle should be operated within the legal speed limits for the particular road travelled. Operating a motorcycle at high speeds can be potentially dangerous since the time available to react to given traffic situations is greatly reduced as road speed increases. Always reduce speed in potentially hazardous driving conditions such as bad weather or heavy traffic. Warning Continually observe and react to changes in road surface, traffic and wind conditions.
Safety First Parts and Accessories Parking Warning Warning Always 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 unauthorised or untrained persons is reduced. Owners should be aware that the only approved parts, accessories and conversions for any Triumph motorcycle are those which carry official Triumph approval and are fitted to the motorcycle by an authorised dealer.
Safety First Maintenance/Equipment Warning Consult your authorised Triumph dealer whenever there is doubt as to the correct or safe operation of this Triumph motorcycle. Remember that continued operation of an incorrectly performing motorcycle may aggravate a fault and may also compromise safety. Warning Ensure all equipment that is required by law is installed and functioning correctly. The removal or alteration of the motorcycle’s lights, silencers, emission or noise control systems can violate the law.

Change down one gear at a time such that the transmission is in first gear when the motorcycle comes to a complete stop.
How To Ride The Motorcycle Warning Warning When descending a long, steep gradient or mountain pass, make use of the engine's braking effect by down changing and use both front and rear brakes intermittently. When using the motorcycle on loose, wet, or muddy roads, braking effectiveness will be reduced by dust, mud or moisture collecting on the brakes.
How To Ride The Motorcycle Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Warning ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking, therefore maximising the effectiveness of the braking system in emergencies and when riding on slippery surfaces. The potentially shorter braking distances ABS allows under certain conditions are not a substitute for good riding practice. WarningContinued Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the warning light illuminated.
How To Ride The Motorcycle 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. Warning The optimised cornering ABS is a system designed to help the rider in emergency braking situations.
How To Ride The Motorcycle ABS Warning Light WarningContinued This reaction is normal. When 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 79 or Riding Mode Configuration on page 87). • the ABS has a malfunction that requires investigation.
How To Ride The Motorcycle Hill Hold Control (if fitted) 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.
