SAFETY FIRST
The Motorcycle
Warning
All 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.
Warning
Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH (Low Ride Height)
Model
The 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.
Warning
This 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 First
8
Warning
This 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).
Warning
This 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 Fumes
Warning
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
Always turn off the engine when
refueling.
Do not refuel or open the fuel filler cap
while smoking or in the vicinity of any
open (naked) flame.
Take care not to spill any gasoline on
the engine, exhaust pipes or mufflers
when refueling.
If gasoline is swallowed, inhaled or
allowed to get into the eyes, seek
immediate medical attention.
Spillage on the skin should be 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.
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.
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 colored jacket. Brightly colored
clothing will considerably increase a
rider’s (or passenger’s) visibility to
other operators of road vehicles.
Although full protection is not possible,
wearing correct protective clothing can
reduce the risk of injury when riding.
Warning
A helmet is one of the most important
pieces of riding gear as it offers
protection against head injuries. You
and your passenger’s helmet should
be carefully chosen and should fit you
or your passenger’s head comfortably
and securely. A brightly colored helmet
will increase a rider’s (or passenger’s)
visibility to other operators of road
vehicles.
An open face helmet offers some
protection in an accident though a full
face helmet will offer more.
Always wear a visor or approved
goggles to help vision and to protect
your eyes.
cbma
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.
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 the 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.
Safety First
10
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 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.
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.
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.
Safety First
11
Caution
This Triumph motorcycle is not
equipped with spark arresters.
Operation in forests, brush or grass
areas may violate state and local laws
and regulations.
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.

Handlebars and Footrests
Warning
The rider must maintain control of the
vehicle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a
motorcycle will be adversely affected if
the rider removes their hands from the
handlebars, resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
The rider and passenger must always
use the footrests provided, during
operation of the vehicle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of
inadvertent contact with any
motorcycle components and will also
reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
Safety First
12
Parking
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 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 Accessories
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 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.

Maintenance/Equipment
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.

Engine 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.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the MIL illuminated. The fault may
adversely affect engine performance,
exhaust emissions and fuel
consumption.
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of control and an
accident.
Contact an 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

Immobilizer/Alarm Indicator Light
This Triumph motorcycle is equipped
with an engine immobilizer which is
activated when the ignition is switched
off.
Instruments
26
Not Equipped With Alarm
When 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 Alarm
The 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.
Warning
If 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 Light
The TC indicator light is used to
indicate that the traction control
system is active and is working to limit

Riding Mode Selection
Warning
The 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.
Warning
If 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.
Instruments
35
Warning
After selecting a riding mode, operate
the motorcycle in an area free from
traffic to gain familiarity with the new
settings.

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.

Warning
Operation of the motorcycle with an
incorrectly adjusted instrument panel
is dangerous.
An incorrectly adjusted instrument
panel will result in loss of instrument
vision when riding and may cause a
distraction leading to loss of control of
the motorcycle and an accident.
Always adjust the instrument panel to
provide sufficient vision of the
instruments before riding the
motorcycle.
Warning
Never attempt to clean or adjust the
instrument panel while riding the
motorcycle. Removal of the rider’s
hands from the handlebars while riding
the motorcycle will diminish the ability
of the rider to maintain control of the
motorcycle.
Attempting to clean or adjust the
instrument panel while riding the
motorcycle may result in loss of control
of the motorcycle and an accident.
Only attempt to clean or adjust the
instrument panel while stationary.
Caution
Do not press directly onto the
instrument panel display screen.
Only adjust the position of the
instrument panel using the adjustment
handle.

Warning Lights
Note:
• When the ignition is switched on,
the instrument warning lights will
illuminate for 1.5 seconds and will
then go off (except those which
remain on until the engine starts,
as described in the following pages).
Engine 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.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the MIL illuminated. The fault may
adversely affect engine performance,
exhaust emissions and fuel
consumption.
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,

mode configuration, see page 85.
Riding Mode Selection
Warning
The 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.
Instruments
82
Warning
If ABS and/or TC has been disabled
using the BIKE SETUP menu, the ABS
and/or TC settings saved for all riding
modes will be overridden.
ABS and/or TC will remain OFF
regardless of the riding mode selection,
until they have been re-enabled or, the
ignition has been switch OFF then ON
again.
If the ABS is disabled, the brake system
will function as a non-ABS 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.
Warning
After 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

ABS Option Descriptions
Warning
The OFF-ROAD ABS option is NOT
intended for use with normal, on-road
riding.
Use of the rear brake pedal in this
situation can cause the rear wheel to
lock under heavy braking.
Riding on-road with the ABS set to
OFF-ROAD can lead to instability when
braking which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If the ABS is disabled, the brake system
will function as a non-ABS 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.
• 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.
Instruments
86
• 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 Descriptions
Warning
The 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.
Warning
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.
• 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.

Triumph Semi Active
Suspension (TSAS)
(if equipped)
Note:
• All models except for Tiger 1200 XR
are equipped with Triumph Semi
Active Suspension (TSAS).
Warning
After 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 Modes
The 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 Settings
There 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 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.
General Information
109
To 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)
Warning
The 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 Information
110
Optimized 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.
Warning
If 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.
Warning
If 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 Information
111
Note:
• 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 Settings
Warning
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.
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)
Warning
The 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.
Function
Tire 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 Information
112
Note:
• 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 Number
The 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 Display
The 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.

1. Warning lights
2. Front tire pressure indicator
3. Rear tire pressure indicator
The tire pressure at which the warning
light illuminates is temperature
compensated to 68°F (20°C) but the
numeric pressure display associated
with it is not. 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.
Warning
Stop 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 Batteries
When 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 Fault
If 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 Information
114
Tire Pressures
The 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.
Warning
The 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.
Caution
Do 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 Pressure
Warning
Stop 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).

Fuel
Fuel Requirement/Refueling
P
b
cbny
Fuel 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.
Caution
The 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 Gasoline
To 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.
Ethanol
Ethanol 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.
Methanol
Caution
Fuels containing methanol should not
be used as damage to components in
the fuel system can be caused by
contact with methanol.
Caution
Because 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 Information
116
Refueling
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated with
refueling, always observe the following
fuel safety instructions:
Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and
can be explosive under certain
conditions. When refueling, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refueling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
Never fill the tank until the fuel level
rises into the filler neck. Heat from
sunlight or other sources may cause
the fuel to expand and overflow
creating a fire hazard.
After refueling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed.
Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or
any failure to observe the safety
advice given above will lead to a fire
hazard, which could cause damage to
property, injury to persons or death.
Fuel Tank Cap

General Information
117
Filling the Fuel Tank
Warning
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up
the spillage immediately and dispose of
the materials used safely.
Take care not to spill any fuel on the
engine, exhaust pipes, tires or any
other part of the motorcycle.
Because fuel is highly flammable, any
fuel leak or spillage, or any failure to
observe the safety advice given above
may lead to a fire hazard, which could
cause damage to property and injury
or death to persons.
Fuel spilled near to, or onto the tires
will reduce the tires’ ability to grip the
road. This will result in a dangerous
riding condition potentially causing loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Caution
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Contaminated fuel may cause damage
to fuel system components.
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level
above the bottom of the filler neck. This
will make sure there is enough air space
to allow for fuel expansion if the fuel
inside the tank expands through
absorption of heat from the engine or
from direct sunlight.

Never exceed this loading limit as this
may cause the motorcycle to become
unstable leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
General Information
134
Warning
The 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.
Warning
After 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.
Warning
Incorrect 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 Information
135
Warning
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.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except
in authorized closed-course conditions.
Warning
Only 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.
Warning
Never ride an accessory-equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the
stability and handling of the motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss of
motorcycle control 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 Information

Breaking-In
R.P.M.
cboa
Breaking-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.

137
Daily Safety Checks
cboc
Warning
Failure 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 Information
138
Brake 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. Return springs not
weak or damaged (see page 121).

Note:
• When the ignition is switched on,
the tachometer needle will quickly
sweep from zero to maximum and
then return to zero. The instrument
warning lights will illuminate and
will then go off (except those which
normally remain on until the engine
starts - see Warning Lights on
page 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.
Warning
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time.
Always operate your motorcycle in the
open air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Caution
Do not operate the starter
continuously for more than five
seconds as the starter motor will
overheat and the battery will become
discharged. Wait 15 seconds between
each operation of the starter to allow
for cooling and recovery of battery
power.
Do not let the engine idle for long
periods as this may lead to overheating
which will cause damage to the engine.
Caution
If the low oil pressure warning light
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. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
the transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
If the side stand is extended while the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of clutch position.

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

• 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.
Braking
chex_ 1
1
1. Front brake lever
1
1. Rear brake pedal
All 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 Motorcycle
147
Use 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.
Warning
WHEN 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.
Warning
For 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 Continued
Triumph strongly recommends that all
riders take a course of instruction,
which includes advice on safe brake
operation. Incorrect brake technique
could result in loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
For your safety, always exercise
extreme caution when braking
(whether 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 Motorcycle
148
Warning
When 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.
Warning
Riding with your foot on the brake
pedal or your hands on the brake lever
may actuate the brake light, giving a
false indication to other road users. It
may also overheat the brake, reducing
braking effectiveness leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Do not coast with the engine switched
off, and do not tow the motorcycle. The
transmission is 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.
Warning
When using the motorcycle on loose,
wet, or muddy roads, braking
effectiveness will be reduced by dust,
mud or moisture collecting on the
brakes.
Always brake earlier in these
conditions to ensure brake surfaces
are cleaned by the braking action.
Riding the motorcycle with brakes
contaminated with dust, mud or
moisture may cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Caution
Due 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 Motorcycle
149
Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS)
Warning
ABS 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.
Warning
If 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 Motorcycle
150
Optimized Cornering ABS
Note:
• 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.
Warning
The 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.
Warning
Always 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 Motorcycle
151
Warning
If 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 Light
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 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 Motorcycle
152
Warning
The 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).
Warning
The 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.
Warning
Avoid 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 Motorcycle
153
Warning
The 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.
Caution
The 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.
Activation
Note:
• 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 Motorcycle
154
Deactivation
The 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 Message
If 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. See Warning Lights
on page 59.
The hill hold control system can be
enabled or disabled (see Bike Setup on
page 47).
Parking
Warning
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
can be explosive under certain
conditions. If parking inside a garage or

Considerations for High
Speed Operation
Warning
This 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 consideration
of weather and traffic conditions.
Warning
Only 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.
Warning
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary
from those you are familiar with at
legal road speeds.
Do not attempt high speed operation
unless you have received sufficient
training and have the required skills as
a serious accident may result from
incorrect operation.
Warning
The listed items below are extremely
important and must never be
neglected. A problem, which may not
be noticed at normal operating speeds,
may be greatly exaggerated at high
speeds.
General
Make sure that the motorcycle has been
maintained according to the scheduled
maintenance chart.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns
smoothly without excessive free play or
tight spots. Make sure that the control
cables do not restrict the steering in
any way.
Luggage
Make sure that any luggage containers
are closed, locked and securely installed
on the motorcycle.
How to Ride the Motorcycle
157
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes
are functioning properly.
Tires
High speed operation is hard on tires,
and tires that are in good condition are
crucial to riding safely. Examine their
overall condition, inflate to the correct
pressure (when the tires are cold), and
check the wheel balance. Securely install
the valve caps after checking tire
pressures. Observe the information
given in the Maintenance and
Specification sections on tire checking
and tire safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high-speed operation.
Caution
The exhaust system is equipped with a
catalytic converter to help reduce
exhaust emission levels.
The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle
is allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel
level is allowed to get very low.
Always make sure that you have
adequate fuel for your journey.
Engine Oil
Make sure that the engine oil level is
correct. Make sure that the correct
grade and type of oil is used when
topping off.
Final Drive Oil
Make sure that the final drive oil level is
correct. Make sure that the correct
grade and type of oil is used when
topping off.
Coolant
Check that the coolant level is at the
upper level line in the expansion tank.
(Always check the level with the engine
cold.)
Electrical Equipment
Make sure that the headlight, rear/
brake light, turn signals, horn, etc. all
work properly.
Miscellaneous
Visually check that all fasteners are
tight.

ACCESSORIES, LOADING AND PASSENGERS
The 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.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except
in authorized closed-course conditions.
Warning
Only 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.
Warning
Do 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.
Accessories
Warning
Do 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 Passengers
159
Warning
Never ride an accessory-equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the
stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss of
motorcycle control 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.
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 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.
Loading
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an
unsafe riding condition leading to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Accessories, Loading and Passengers
160
Warning Continued
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.
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.
Warning
The maximum safe load for each
pannier is stated on a label inside the

Do 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 System
To 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
Warning
HD4X 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.
Maintenance
173
Note:
• 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 Inspection
Note:
• The coolant level should be checked

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.
Caution
If 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 Change
It is recommended that the coolant is
changed by an authorised Triumph
dealer in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Radiator and Hoses
Warning
The 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.
Caution
Using 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.

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.
Clutch
The motorcycle is equipped with a
hydraulically operated clutch that does
not require adjustment.
Clutch Fluid Level Inspection and
Adjustment
Warning
Use 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
Maintenance
176
specification section. The brake and

Brake 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.
Maintenance
178
Breaking-in New Brake Discs and
Pads
Warning
Brake 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.
Warning
Brake 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 Compensation
Warning
If 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.
Maintenance
179
Disc Brake Fluid
Warning
Brake 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.
Warning
If 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.

Tires
cboa
This 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.
Warning
Do 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.

Tire Inflation Pressures
Warning
Incorrect 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.
Warning
Tire 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 Wear
As 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.
Maintenance
190
Minimum Recommended Tread
Depth
In 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)
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except
in authorized closed-course conditions.
Warning
Only 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.
Warning
Operation 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 Replacement
All 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,
Maintenance
191
may 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)
Warning
Use 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.
Warning
The 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.
Warning
If 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.
Warning
Do 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.
Warning
If 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.
Maintenance
192
Warning
When 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.
Warning
Tires 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.
Warning
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.
Warning
Accurate 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.
Maintenance
193
Caution
An 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.
Caution
Do 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.
Battery
Warning
Under 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.
Warning
The battery contains harmful
materials. Always keep children away
from the battery whether or not it is
installed in the motorcycle.

Battery Maintenance
Warning
Battery 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 Discharge
Caution
The 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
Motorcycle
During 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.
Maintenance
196
Battery Charging
Warning
The 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.
Caution
Do 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.

Chassis Electronic Control
Module (Chassis ECM)
Warning
Always 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.
Many of the motorcycle’s electrical
systems (such as lighting, TSAS
if equipped, horn, cooling fan, fuel pump,
and accessories such as heated grips or
seats) are controlled by a Chassis
Electronic Control Module (Chassis ECM).
The chassis ECM provides a primary
level of protection to the electrical
systems it controls. If a fault is
detected, the chassis ECM will
automatically cut power to the affected
system.
The chassis ECM can be reset by
turning the Ignition off then on again.
Power will be restored to the inoperative
system, providing that the condition
that caused the fault has been rectified.
The systems controlled by the chassis
ECM are also provided with a secondary
level of protection, by fuses PS1 to
PS5 in the main fuse box (see page 199).
A blown fuse is likely when all of the
systems protected by that fuse become
inoperative.
Refer to the following table for full
details of the chassis ECM controlled
systems, and their corresponding fuses.

Preparation for Washing
Before 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 Careful
Caution
Do 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.
Caution
Use 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 Storage
209
Washing
Prepare a mixture of cold water and
mild automotive cleaner. Do not use a
highly alkaline soap as commonly found

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 Care
Caution
Use 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 Storage

Care of Leather Products
We 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.

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 Storage
216
Preparation after Storage
Install 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.

Approved Tires
A list of approved tires specific to these models is available from your authorized
Triumph dealer, or on the Internet at www.triumph.co.uk.
Warning
Use the recommended tires ONLY in the combinations given. Do not mix tires from
different manufacturers or mix different specification tires from the same
manufacturers as this may result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Approved Mud and Snow/Dual Purpose Tires
A list of approved mud and snow/dual purpose tires specific to these models is avail-
able from your authorized Triumph dealer, or on the Internet at www.triumph.co.uk.
Warning
The use of mud and snow/dual purpose tires will result in reduced motorcycle
stability.
Always operate a motorcycle equipped with mud and snow/dual purpose tires at
reduced speeds. The permissible maximum speed is 60 mph (110 km/h). This is also
shown on a warning sticker on the motorcycle.
Operation of the motorcycle above the permissible maximum speed may result in
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Tire 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
Specifications section for on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect tire pressures may cause loss of
motorcycle control leading to an accident.
