Warning
This accessory kit is designed for use on Triumph
Tiger Explorer and Tiger Explorer XC motorcycles only
and should not be fitted to any other Triumph model or to
any other manufacturer's motorcycle. Fitting this accessory
kit to any other Triumph model, or to any other
manufacturer's motorcycle, may interfere with the rider
and could affect the handling, stability or other aspects of
the motorcycle's operation which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Always have Triumph approved parts, accessories and
conversions fitted by a trained technician of an authorised
Triumph dealer. The fitment of parts, accessories and
conversions by a technician who is not of an authorised
Triumph dealer may affect the handling, stability or other
aspects of the motorcycle's operation which may result in
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Throughout this operation, ensure that the motorcycle is
stabilised and adequately supported on a paddock stand
to prevent risk of injury from the motorcycle falling.
Warning
A torque wrench of known accurate calibration must be
used when fitting this accessory kit. Failure to tighten any
of the fasteners to the correct torque may affect
motorcycle performance, handling and stability. This may
result in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Always ensure that newly installed wiring does not chafe
against other parts of the motorcycle such that they may
be rubbed through and cause an electrical problem. This
condition is hazardous and could give rise to a dangerous
riding condition resulting in a fire, loss of motorcycle
control and/or an accident.
Warning
Prolonged storage of the machine with the alarm armed
will result in battery drain. Excessive battery drain will
cause permanent damage to the battery. The machine
should be connected to an appropriate battery conditioner
to maintain good battery condition.

3. Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead first.
4. Remove the battery as described in the service manual.
5. Invert the rear seat and place on a clean non-abrasive
surface.
6. Note the position of the markings for the reed-switch
magnet fixing screws on the underside of the seat, as
shown below.
1. Area for reed-switch magnet
2. Fixing hole positions
7. Carefully drill a hole into each marked position using a
1 mm diameter drill.
Note:
• Read the warning notices printed on the cleaning
wipe packet in the fitting kit.
• The surfaces to which the reed-switch and
reed-switch magnet are affixed must be clean
and dry to ensure that the adhesive has a sound
base to adhere to. Use the cleaning wipe
supplied for this purpose.
8. Peel off the backing strip from the adhesive pad on the
reed-switch magnet.
9. Align the reed-switch magnet to the fixing holes on the
underside of the seat. Apply firm and even pressure to
the magnet to ensure a good bond is achieved. Secure
using the self-tapping screws supplied.
Note:
• Ensure that the magnet is fitted in the
orientation shown below.
1. Rear seat
2. Reed-switch magnet
3. Screws
10. Remove the tail panel as described in the service
manual.
Caution
Only drill through the hard plastic base of the seat. Take
care not to drill into any part of the rear seat cushion as
this would result in irreparable damage to the rear seat.
Caution
When fitting self-adhesive parts care must be taken to
ensure positioning is correct and accurate. Once the
adhesive has been attached to the mounting surface, there
is no satisfactory method of removal and re-positioning if
incorrectly aligned. Initial bonding is instant, full bonding is
achieved after 72 hours.
