FOREWORD - SAFETY FIRST

The Motorcycle

Warning

The Tiger Explorer is designed for on-road

use and light off road use. Extreme off-

road use could lead to loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow a

trailer or be fitted with a sidecar. Fitting a

sidecar and/or a trailer may result in loss of

control and an accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is designed for use as a

two-wheeled vehicle capable of carrying a

rider on his/her own, or a rider and one

passenger.

The total weight of the rider, and any

passenger, accessories and luggage must

not exceed the maximum load limit of

489 lb (222 kg).

Warning

This motorcycle is fitted with a catalytic

converter below the engine, which along

with the exhaust system reaches very high

temperature during engine operation.

Flammable materials such as grass,

hay/straw, leaves, clothing and luggage etc.

could ignite if allowed to come into contact

with any part of the exhaust system and

catalytic converter; always ensure

flammable materials are not allowed to

contact the exhaust system or catalytic

converter.

Foreword - Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes Safety Helmet and Clothing

Warning

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when refuelling.

Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap

while smoking or in the vicinity of any

open (naked) flame.

Take care not to spill any gasoline on the

engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers when

refuelling.

If gasoline is swallowed, inhaled or allowed

to get into the eyes, seek immediate

medical attention.

Spillage on the skin should be immediately

washed off with soap and water and

clothing contaminated with gasoline

should immediately be removed.

Burns and other serious skin conditions

may result from contact with gasoline.

Warning

Never start your engine or let it run for any

length of time in a closed area. The

exhaust fumes are poisonous and may

cause loss of consciousness and death

within a short time. Always operate your

motorcycle in the open-air or in an area

with adequate ventilation.

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both rider

and passenger must always wear a

motorcycle helmet, eye protection, gloves,

boots, trousers (close fitting around the

knee and ankle) and a brightly colored

jacket. Brightly colored clothing will

considerably increase a rider's (or

passenger's) visibility to other operators of

road vehicles. Although full protection is

not possible, wearing correct protective

clothing can reduce the risk of injury when

riding.

Foreword - Safety First

When choosing a helmet, always look for a

DOT (Department of Transport) sticker

indicating that the helmet has DOT approval.

Do not buy a helmet without DOT approval.

Parking

Warning

A helmet is one of the most important

pieces of riding gear as it offers protection

against head injuries. You and your

passenger's helmet should be carefully

chosen and should fit you or your

passenger's head comfortably and

securely. A brightly colored helmet will

increase a rider's (or passenger's) visibility

to other operators of road vehicles.

An open face helmet offers some

protection in an accident though a full face

helmet will offer more.

Always wear a visor or approved goggles

to help vision and to protect your eyes.

cbma

Warning

Always turn off the engine and remove the

ignition key before leaving the motorcycle

unattended. By removing the key, the risk

of use of the motorcycle by unauthorized

or untrained persons is reduced.

When parking the motorcycle, always

remember the following:

Engage first gear to help prevent the

motorcycle from rolling off the stand.

The engine and exhaust system will be hot

after riding. DO NOT park where

pedestrians, animals and/or children are

likely to touch the motorcycle.

Do not park on soft ground or on a steeply

inclined surface. Parking under these

conditions may cause the motorcycle to fall

over.

For further details, please refer to the 'How

to Ride the Motorcycle' section of this

owner's handbook.

Foreword - Safety First

Parts and Accessories

Triumph does not accept any liability

whatsoever for defects caused by installing

non-approved parts, accessories or

conversions or the installing of any approved

parts, accessories or conversions by

non-approved personnel.

Maintenance/Equipment

Warning

Owners should be aware that the only

approved parts, accessories and

conversions for any Triumph motorcycle

are those which carry official Triumph

approval and are installed to the

motorcycle by an authorized dealer.

In particular, it is extremely hazardous to

install or replace parts or accessories whose

installing requires the dismantling of, or

addition to, either the electrical or fuel

systems and any such modification could

cause a safety hazard.

The installing 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.

Warning

Consult your authorized Triumph dealer

whenever there is doubt as to the correct

or safe operation of this Triumph

motorcycle.

Remember that continued operation of an

incorrectly performing motorcycle may

aggravate a fault and may also

compromise safety.

Warning

Ensure all equipment that is required by

law is installed and functioning correctly.

The removal or alteration of the

motorcycle's lights, mufflers, emission or

noise control systems can violate the law.

Incorrect or improper modification may

adversely affect the handling, stability or

other aspect of the motorcycle operation,

which may result in an accident causing

injury or death.

Warning

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident,

collision or fall, it must be taken to an

authorized Triumph dealer for inspection

and repair. Any accident can cause

damage to the motorcycle that, if not

correctly repaired, may cause a second

accident that may result in injury or death.

Foreword - Safety First

Riding

Warning

Never ride the motorcycle when fatigued

or under the influence of alcohol or other

drugs.

Riding when under the influence of alcohol

or other drugs is illegal.

Riding when fatigued or under the

influence of alcohol or other drugs reduces

the rider's ability to maintain control of

motorcycle and may lead to loss of control

and an accident.

Warning

All riders must be licensed to operate the

motorcycle. Operation of the motorcycle

without a license is illegal and could lead to

prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without

formal training in the correct riding

techniques that are necessary to become

licensed is dangerous and may lead to loss

of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

Always ride defensively and wear the

protective equipment mentioned

elsewhere in this foreword. Remember, in

an accident, a motorcycle does not give the

same impact protection as a car.

Warning

This Triumph motorcycle should be

operated within the legal speed limits for

the particular road travelled. Operating a

motorcycle at high speeds can be

potentially dangerous since the time

available to react to given traffic situations

is greatly reduced as road speed increases.

Always reduce speed in potentially

hazardous driving conditions such as bad

weather or heavy traffic.

Warning

Continually observe and react to changes

in road surface, traffic and wind conditions.

All two-wheeled vehicles are subject to

external forces which may cause an

accident. These forces include but are not

limited to:

• Wind draft from passing vehicles;

• Potholes, uneven or damaged

road surfaces;

• Bad weather;

• Rider error.

Always operate the motorcycle at

moderate speed and away from heavy

traffic until you have become thoroughly

familiar with its handling and operating

characteristics. Never exceed the legal

speed limit.

Foreword - Safety First

Note:

WOBBLE/WEAVE

A weave is a relatively slow oscillation of the

rear of the motorcycle, while a wobble is a

rapid, possibly strong shaking of the

handlebar. These are related but distinct

stability problems usually caused by excessive

weight in the wrong place, or by a

mechanical problem such as worn or loose

bearings or under-inflated or unevenly worn

tires.

Your solution to both situations is the same.

Keep a firm hold on the handlebars without

locking arms or fighting the steering.

Smoothly ease off the throttle to slow

gradually. Do not apply the brakes, and do

not accelerate to try to stop the wobble or

weave. In some cases, it helps to shift your

body weight forward by leaning over the

tank.

permission.

Warning

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause

instability, loss of motorcycle control and

an accident.

Warning

Ensure that you know and respect the rules

of the road. Read and observe publications

such as 'MOTORCYCLE SAFETY', 'YOU

AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE, RIDING

TIPS' and also read and become familiar

with the contents of the MOTORCYCLE

HANDBOOK for your state.

Caution

This Triumph motorcycle is not installed

with spark arresters. Operation in forests,

brush or grass areas may violate state and

local laws and regulations.
