FOREWORD – SAFETY FIRST
The Motorcycle
Warning
The Tiger XRXand Tiger XCXare
designed for on-road 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
This motorcycle is not designed to tow
a trailer or be installed with a sidecar.
Installing a sidecar and/or a trailer
may result in loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
This motorcycle is designed for use as
a two-wheeled vehicle capable of
carrying a rider on his/her own, or a
rider and one passenger.
The total weight of the rider, and any
passenger, accessories and luggage
must not exceed the maximum load
limit of:
Tiger XRX– 483 lb (219 kg)
Tiger XCX– 478 lb (217 kg).
Warning
This motorcycle is installed with a
catalytic converter below the engine,
which along with the exhaust system
reaches very high temperature during
engine operation. Flammable materials
such as grass, hay/straw, leaves,
clothing and luggage etc. could ignite
if allowed to come into contact with
any part of the exhaust system and
catalytic converter; always ensure
flammable materials are not allowed to
contact the exhaust system or
catalytic converter.

Foreword – Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes
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
immediately washed off with soap and
water and clothing contaminated with
gasoline should immediately be
removed.
Burns and other serious skin
conditions may result from contact
with gasoline.
Warning
Never start your engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed area.
The exhaust fumes are poisonous and
may cause loss of consciousness and
death within a short time. Always
operate your motorcycle in the open-
air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.

Foreword – Safety First
8
Helmet and Clothing 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.
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.

Riding
Warning
Never ride the motorcycle when
fatigued or under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
Riding when under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs is illegal.
Riding when fatigued or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
reduces the rider's ability to maintain
control of motorcycle and may lead to
loss of control and an accident.
Warning
All riders must be licensed to operate
the motorcycle. Operation of the
motorcycle without a license is illegal
and could lead to prosecution.
Operation of the motorcycle without
formal training in the correct riding
techniques that are necessary to
become licensed is dangerous and
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Always ride defensively and wear the
protective equipment mentioned
elsewhere in this foreword. Remember,
in an accident, a motorcycle does not
give the same impact protection as a
car.
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road travelled.
Operating a motorcycle at high speeds
can be potentially dangerous since the
time available to react to given traffic
situations is greatly reduced as road
speed increases. Always reduce speed
in potentially hazardous driving
conditions such as bad weather or
heavy traffic.
Warning
Continually observe and react to
changes in road surface, traffic and
wind conditions. All two-wheeled
vehicles are subject to external forces
which may cause an accident. These
forces include but are not limited to:
• Wind draft from passing vehicles
• Potholes, uneven or damaged road
surfaces
•Badweather
• Rider error.
Always operate the motorcycle at
moderate speed and away from heavy
traffic until you have become
thoroughly familiar with its handling
and operating characteristics. Never
exceed the legal speed limit.

Foreword – Safety First
10
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.

Warning
Ensure that you know and respect the
rules of the road. Read and observe
publications such as 'MOTORCYCLE
SAFETY', 'YOU AND YOUR
MOTORCYCLE, RIDING TIPS' and also
read and become familiar with the
contents of the MOTORCYCLE
HANDBOOK for your state.
Caution
This Triumph motorcycle is not
equipped with spark arresters.
Operation in forests, brush or grass
areas may violate state and local laws
and regulations.

Foreword – Safety First
11
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 his 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.
Warning
The bank angle indicators must not be
used as a guide to how far the
motorcycle may be safely banked. This
depends on many various conditions
including, but not limited to, road
surface, tire condition and weather.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with the bank
angle indicators worn beyond the
maximum limit will allow the
motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe
angle.
The bank angle indicators have
reached the maximum wear limit and
should be replaced when they have
worn down to a length of 20 mm.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.

Foreword – Safety First
12
Parking
Warning
When banking and the bank angle
indicator, attached to the rider's
footrest, makes contact with the
ground, the motorcycle is nearing its
bank angle limit. A further increase of
the banking angle is unsafe.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
1. Bank angle indicator

Warning
Always turn off the engine and
remove the ignition key before leaving
the motorcycle unattended. By
removing the key, the risk of use of
the motorcycle by unauthorized or
untrained persons is reduced.
When parking the motorcycle, always
remember the following:
Engage first gear to help prevent the
motorcycle from rolling off the stand.
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding. DO NOT park where
pedestrians, animals and/or children
are likely to touch the motorcycle.
Do not park on soft ground or on a
steeply inclined surface. Parking
under these conditions may cause the
motorcycle to fall over.
For further details, please refer to the
How to Ride the Motorcycle section of
this Owner's Handbook.

Parts and Accessories
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
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 by an authorized Triumph
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 non-approved
parts, accessories or conversions may
adversely affect the handling, stability
or other aspects of the motorcycle
operation which may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
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 loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
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.
