Considerations For High Speed Operation - Triumph Tiger 850 Sport 2020 Owner's Handbook Manual

Considerations for High
Speed Operation
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle should be
operated within the legal speed limits
for the particular road traveled.
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
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed-course on-
road competition or on closed-course
racetracks.
High speed operation should only
then be attempted by riders who have
been instructed in the techniques
necessary for high speed riding and
are familiar with the motorcycle's
characteristics in all conditions.
High speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
How to Ride the Motorcycle
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary
from those you are familiar with at
legal road speeds.
Do not attempt high speed operation
unless you have received sufficient
training and have the required skills
as a serious accident may result from
incorrect operation.
The items listed below are extremely
important
neglected. A problem, which may not
be noticed at normal operating speeds,
may be greatly exaggerated at high
speeds.
