Triumph Tiger XR Owner's Handbook Manual page 9

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
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
thoroughly familiar with its handling
and operating characteristics. Never
exceed the legal speed limit.
Foreword – Safety First
Handlebars and Footrests
The rider must maintain control of the
vehicle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and

the rider removes his hands from the
handlebars,

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
motorcycle components and will also
reduce the
entrapment of clothing.
The bank angle indicators must not be
used as a guide to how far the
motorcycle may be safely banked. This

including, but not limited to, road
surface, tyre condition and weather.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
