Triumph Tiger Sport, Owner'S Handbook Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
75
Both during and after breaking-in has
been completed:
▼ Do not overrev the engine when cold;
▼ Do not lug the engine. Always
downshift before the engine begins
to 'struggle';
▼ Do not ride with engine speeds
unnecessarily high. Shifting up a
gear helps reduce fuel consumption,
reduces noise and helps to protect
the environment.

day before you ride may result in
