Tiger 900 GT (LRH) Model

Unless stated otherwise, the

Safety First

The Motorcycle

Warning

Tiger 900 GT (LRH) (Low Ride Height

Model)

The Tiger 900 GT (LRH) motorcycle is

equipped with lowered suspension and

has reduced ground clearance.

As a result, the cornering banking

angles that can be achieved by the

Tiger 900 GT (LRH) is reduced, when

compared with the standard ride

height Tiger 900 GT model.

When riding, it is important to

remember that your motorcycle’s

ground clearance is limited. Operate

your motorcycle in an area free from

traffic to gain familiarity with the

motorcycle’s ground clearance and

bank angle limitations.

Banking to an unsafe angle or

unexpected contact with the

ground may cause instability, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning

The motorcycles are 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 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 as stated in the Specifications

section.

Safety First

Warning

This motorcycle is not designed to tow

a trailer or be fitted with a sidecar.

Fitting a sidecar and/or a trailer

may result in loss of control and an

accident.

Warning

This motorcycle is fitted with a

catalytic converter below the engine,

which along with the exhaust system

reaches a 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 make sure flammable materials

are not allowed to contact the exhaust

system or catalytic converter.

Warning

Riding the motorcycle off-road may

result in loosening of the spokes.

Make sure that the spokes are

checked before and after riding the

motorcycle off-road. Tighten any

loose spokes and check for wheel rim

damage.

Spokes that are loose may affect

handling and stability resulting in

motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

Check the wheel rims and spokes

regularly for wear and damage.

Check spoke tension at all intervals

listed in the maintenance schedule.

Tighten any loose spokes.

Incorrectly tightened spokes may

affect handling and stability resulting

in motorcycle damage, loss of

motorcycle control and an accident.

Caution

Riding the motorcycle in extreme

conditions such as wet and muddy

roads, on rough terrain or in dusty

and humid environments, may lead to

above average wear and damage of

certain components.

Therefore the servicing and

replacement of worn or damaged

components may be necessary before

the scheduled maintenance service is

reached.

It is important that the motorcycle

is inspected after riding in extreme

conditions and any worn or damaged

components are serviced or replaced.

Safety First

Fuel and Exhaust Fumes

Warning

PETROL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

Always turn off the engine when

refuelling.

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 petrol on

the engine, exhaust pipes or silencers

when refuelling.

If petrol 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

petrol should immediately be removed.

Burns and other serious skin

conditions may result from contact

with petrol.

Warning

Never start the engine or run the

engine in a confined area.

Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can

cause loss of consciousness and death

within a short period of time.

Always operate the motorcycle in the

open air or in an area with adequate

ventilation.

Helmet and Clothing

Warning

When riding the motorcycle, both

rider and passenger (on models where

carrying a passenger is permitted)

must always wear appropriate clothing

including a motorcycle helmet, eye

protection, gloves, boots, trousers

(close fitting around the knee and

ankle) and a brightly coloured jacket.

During off-road use (on models

suitable for off-road use), the rider

must always wear appropriate clothing

including trousers and boots.

Brightly coloured 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.

Safety First

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

coloured 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 the motorcycle and may

lead to loss of control and an accident.

Warning

All riders must be licenced to operate

the motorcycle.

Operation of the motorcycle without

a licence is illegal and could lead to

prosecution.

Operation of the motorcycle without

formal training in the correct riding

techniques that are necessary to

become licenced 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.
