Considerations For High-Speed Operation - Triumph Tiger XR Owner's Handbook Manual

Note:
• When parking near traffic at night,
or when parking in a location where
parking lights are required by law,
leave the tail, licence plate and
position lights on by turning the
ignition switch to P (PARK).
Do not leave the switch in the P position
for long periods of time as this will
discharge the battery.
Warning
Do not park on a soft or on a steeply
inclined surface. Parking under these
conditions may cause the motorcycle
to fall over causing
property and personal injury.
Warning
Petrol is extremely flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
If parking inside a garage or other
structure, be sure it is well ventilated
and the motorcycle is not close to any
source of flame or sparks. This
includes any appliance with a pilot
light.
Failure to follow the above advice may
cause a fire resulting in damage to
property or personal injury.
Warning
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding. DO NOT park where
pedestrians and children are likely to
touch the motorcycle.
Touching any part of the engine or
exhaust system when hot may cause
unprotected skin to become burnt.
