Brake Use; Cruise Control - Triumph Tiger Explorer Owner's Handbook Manual

General Information
If there is a malfunction with the throttle
control the malfunction indicator light (MIL)
becomes illuminated and
following engine conditions may occur:
• MIL illuminated, restricted engine
RPM and throttle movement;
• MIL illuminated, limp home mode
with the engine at a fast idle
condition only;
• MIL illuminated, engine will not
start.
For all of the above conditions contact an
authorized Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.

Brake Use

At low throttle opening (approximately 20°),
the brakes and throttle can be used together.
At high throttle opening (greater than 20°), if
the brakes are applied for greater than
2 seconds the throttles will close and the
engine speed will reduce. To return to normal
throttle operation, release the throttle control,
release the brakes and then re-open the
throttle.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to ride
for longer than is necessary with the
malfunction indicator light illuminated. The
fault may adversely affect
performance, exhaust emissions and fuel
consumption. Reduced
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.
