Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro

Introduction
Introduction

This manual is designed primarily for use by trained technicians in a properly equipped workshop. However, it contains enough detail and basic information to make it useful to
the owner who desires to perform his own basic maintenance and repair work. The work can only be carried out if the owner has the necessary hand and special service tools
to complete the job.
A basic knowledge of mechanics, including the proper use of tools and workshop procedures is necessary in order to carry out maintenance and repair work satisfactorily.
Whenever the owner has insufficient experience or doubts regarding his ability to do the work, an authorised Triumph dealer must undertake all adjustments, maintenance, and
repair work.
In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text and thoroughly familiarise yourself with procedures before starting work.
All work should be performed with great care and in a clean working area with adequate lighting.
Always use the correct special service tools or equipment specified. Under no circumstances use makeshift tools or equipment since the use of substitutes may adversely affect
safe operation.
Where accurate measurements are required, they can only be made using calibrated, precision instruments.
For the duration of the warranty period, an authorised Triumph dealer must perform all repairs and scheduled maintenance.
To maximise the life of your motorcycle:
Accurately follow the maintenance requirements of the periodic maintenance chart in the Service Manual.
Do not allow problems to develop. Investigate unusual noises and changes in the riding characteristics of the motorcycle. Rectify all problems as soon as possible
(immediately if safety related).
Use only genuine Triumph parts as listed in the electronic parts catalogue (EPC).
Follow the procedures in this manual carefully and completely. Do not take short cuts.
Keep complete records of all maintenance and repairs with dates and any new parts installed.
Use only approved lubricants, as specified in the Owner's Handbook, in the maintenance of the motorcycle.

How to use this manual

To assist in the use of this manual, the section title is given at the top.
Each major section starts with a contents page, listing the information contained in the section.
The individual steps comprising repair operations are to be followed in the sequence in which they appear.
Adjustment and repair operations include reference to service tool numbers and the associated illustration depicts the tool.
Where usage is not obvious, the tool is shown in use.
Adjustment and repair operations also include reference to wear limits, relevant data, torque figures, specialist information and useful assembly details.

Warnings, Cautions and Notes

Particularly important information is presented in the following form:

WARNING

This warning symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not correctly followed, could result in personal injury, or loss of life.

CAUTION

This caution symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment.

Note
This note symbol indicates points of particular interest for more efficient and convenient operation.

Tampering with Noise Control System Prohibited

Owners are warned that the law may prohibit:


The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into
any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; and
The use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

References

References to the left hand or right hand side given in this manual are made when viewing the motorcycle from the rear.
Operations covered in this manual do not always include reference to testing the motorcycle after repair. It is essential that work is inspected and tested after completion and, if
necessary, a road test of the motorcycle is carried out particularly where safety related items are concerned.

Dimensions

The dimensions quoted are to design engineering specification with service limits where applicable.
During the period of running-in from new, certain adjustments may vary from the specification figures given in this manual. These will be reset by the dealer at the 500 mile/800
km service, and thereafter should be maintained at the figures specified in this manual.

Repairs and Replacements

Before removal and disassembly, thoroughly clean the motorcycle. Any dirt entering the engine or other parts will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of the motorcycle.
Particular attention should be paid when installing a new part, that any dust or metal filings are cleared from the immediate area.

Force

Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may
be causing the problem. Never lever a component as this will cause damage both to the component itself and to the surface being levered against.
Whenever tapping to aid removal of an item is necessary, tap lightly using a hide or plastic faced mallet.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 1 of 527


Edges

Watch for sharp edges, especially during engine disassembly and assembly. Protect the hands with industrial quality gloves.
When replacement parts are required, it is essential that only genuine Triumph parts are used.
Safety features and corrosion prevention treatments embodied in the motorcycle may be impaired if parts other than genuine Triumph parts are fitted. In certain territories,
legislation prohibits the fitting of parts not to the manufacturer's specification.

Tightening procedure

Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts or screws, they should all be started in their holes and tightened to a snug fit, evenly and in a cross pattern. This is to
avoid distortion of the part and/or gas or oil leakage. Conversely, bolts, nuts, or screws, should all be loosened (in sequence if specified) by about a quarter of a turn and then
removed.
Where there is a tightening sequence specified in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened in the order and by the method indicated.
Torque wrench setting figures given in this manual must be observed. The torque tools used must be of accurate calibration.

Torque Tolerance

Torque Tolerance

0 Nm to 25 Nm +/- 10%

26 Nm to 100 Nm +10% -0%

101 Nm to 200 Nm +10% -0%

Locking devices, where specified, must be fitted. If the efficiency of a locking device is impaired during removal it must be renewed. This applies particularly to micro-
encapsulated fixings which must always be replaced if disturbed. Where necessary, the text in this manual will indicate where such a fixing is used.

Use of Crow Foot Spanner Adapters with Torque Wrenches

The use of a crow foot spanner adapter will effectively lengthen the lever arm of a torque wrench. The amount of torque applied to a fastener is increased as the torque wrench
lever arm is extended, therefore the torque wrench setting must be adjusted in order to achieve the correct tightening torque.
Before tightening a fixing using a crow foot spanner adapter, measure the normal length of the torque wrench from the centre of the drive square to the centre of the handle
(dimension L1). Fit the crow foot spanner adapter to the torque wrench as shown below. Measure the extended length of the torque wrench from the centre of the crow foot
spanner head to the centre of the handle (dimension L2).
Use the following formula to calculate the correct torque wrench setting to achieve the required tightening torque.
Note
The example shown below is calculated using a crow foot spanner measuring 25 mm from the centre of the spanner head to the centre of the drive square.

General Information
Ignition System Safety Precautions

WARNING

The ignition system produces extremely high voltages. Do not touch any part of the ignition system or any cables while the engine is running.
An electric shock caused by contact with the ignition system may lead to illness, injury or death.

WARNING

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2 of 527


WARNING
Wearers of surgically implanted heart pacemaker devices should not be in close proximity to ignition circuits and or diagnostic equipment.
The ignition system and any diagnostic equipment may interrupt the normal operation of such devices causing illness or death.

Dangerous Substances

WARNING

Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should under no circumstances be consumed and should, as far as possible, be kept from
contact with the skin. These substances among others include acid, antifreeze, asbestos, brake fluid, fuel, lubricants, and various adhesives. Always pay close attention to
the instructions printed on labels and obey the instructions contained within. These instructions are included for your safety and well-being.
NEVER DISREGARD THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Third Party Products

WARNING

Many proprietary products, such as chemicals, solvents and cleaning agents, will cause damage to components if used incorrectly or inappropriately. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions printed on the product container’s labels and obey the instructions given. These instructions are included for your safety and well-being.
Damage to the motorcycle components caused by the incorrect or inappropriate use of chemicals, solvents and cleaning agents may reduce the components efficiency,
resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Fluoroelastomers

WARNING

Fluoroelastomer material is used in the manufacture of various seals in Triumph motorcycles.


In fire conditions involving temperatures greater than 315°C this material will decompose and can then be potentially hazardous. Highly toxic and corrosive decomposition
products, including hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, fluorinated olefins and carbon monoxide can be generated and will be present in fumes from fires.
In the presence of any water or humidity, hydrogen fluoride may dissolve to form extremely corrosive liquid hydrofluoric acid.
If such conditions exist, do not touch the material and avoid all skin contact. Skin contact with liquid or decomposition residues can cause painful and penetrating burns
leading to permanent, irreversible skin and tissue damage.

Oils

WARNING

The engine oil may be hot to the touch. Contact with hot oil may cause the skin to be scalded or burned.

WARNING

Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which
can cause cancer. Wear suitable clothing and avoid skin contact.

Health Protection Precautions

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
Do not put oily rags in pockets.
Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard heavily soiled clothing and oil impregnated footwear.
First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds. Always be aware of who your nearest First Aider is and where the medical facilities are kept.
Use barrier creams, applying before each work period to protect the skin from the effects of oil and grease and to aid removal of the same after completing work.
Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have
been removed.
Do not use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.

WARNING

Any risk of eye injury must be avoided. Always wear eye protection when using a hammer, air line, cleaning agent or where there is ANY risk of flying debris or chemical
splashing.

Environmental Protection Precautions

CAUTION

Do not pour oil on the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water courses. To prevent pollution of water courses etc., dispose of used oil sensibly. If in doubt contact your
local authority.

Burning of used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be recommended only for units of approved design. If in doubt, check with the appropriate local authority and/or
manufacturer of the approved appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used filters through authorised waste disposal contractors, to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact
your local authority for advice on disposal facilities.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 3 of 527


Brakes

WARNING

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air. Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid causing a reduction
in braking efficiency.
Replace brake fluid in line with the routine maintenance schedule. A dangerous riding condition could result if this important maintenance item is neglected!
Do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork as this will damage any painted or plastic surface.
Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container and never use fluid from an unsealed container or from one that has been previously opened.
Do not mix different brands of fluid. Check for fluid leakage around brake fittings, seals and joints.
Check regularly for brake hose damage.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE ABOVE WARNINGS MAY REDUCE BRAKING EFFICIENCY LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT.

WARNING

If there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the fluid in either brake fluid reservoir, consult your authorised Triumph dealer for advice before riding.
If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel becomes excessive, there may be air in the brake lines or the brake may be defective.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such conditions and remedial action must be taken by your authorised Triumph dealer before riding the motorcycle.
Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency leading to an accident.

WARNING

Use only DOT 4 specification brake fluid as listed in the General Information section of this manual. The use of brake fluids other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in the
General Information section may reduce the efficiency of the braking system leading to an accident.
Failure to change the brake fluid at the interval specified in the routine maintenance schedule may reduce braking efficiency resulting in an accident.

WARNING

Never use mineral-based grease in any part of the braking system or in any area where contact with the braking system is possible. Mineral-based grease will damage the
hydraulic seals in the calipers and master cylinders.
Damage caused by contact with mineral-based grease may reduce braking efficiency resulting in an accident.

WARNING

Before installation, all internal brake components should be cleaned and lubricated with clean new DOT 4 brake fluid.
Never use solvents, petrol (gasoline), engine oil or any other petroleum distillate on internal brake components as this will cause deterioration of the hydraulic seals in the
calipers and master cylinders.
A dangerous riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident could result if this warning is ignored.

Safety Instructions

Diagnostic Trouble Codes

WARNING

If the motorcycle falls over or is involved in an accident, diagnostic trouble codes may be triggered and stored.
If the motorcycle has fallen over or been involved in an accident, always clear any diagnostic trouble codes.
If diagnostic codes reappear, address them immediately.

Jacking and Lifting

WARNING

Always ensure that any lifting apparatus has adequate load and safety capacity for the weight to be lifted. Ensure the motorcycle is well supported to prevent any possibility
of the machine falling prior to lifting or jacking or while repairs and servicing are carried out.
Never rely on a single means of support when working with the motorcycle. Use additional safety supports and straps to prevent toppling.
Do not leave tools, lifting equipment, spilled oil, etc. in a place where they could become a hazard to health. Always work in a clean, tidy area and put all tools away when
the work is finished.

Precautions Against Damage

Avoid spilling brake fluid or battery acid on any part of the bodywork. Wash spillages off with water immediately.
Disconnect the battery earth lead before starting work, see ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS.
Always use the recommended service tool where specified.
Protect exposed bearing and sealing surfaces, and screw threads from damage.

Coolant

WARNING

Coolant mixture, which is blended with antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors contains toxic chemicals which are harmful to the human body. Never swallow antifreeze,
corrosion inhibitors or any of the motorcycle coolant.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 4 of 527


WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the radiator is hot and also under pressure. Contact with the pressurised
coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.

CAUTION

The coolant antifreeze contains a corrosion inhibitor which helps prevent damage to the metal surfaces inside the cooling system. Without this inhibitor, the coolant would
'attack' the metals and the resulting corrosion would cause blockages in the cooling system leading to engine overheating and damage. Always use the correct antifreeze as
specified in the Owner's Handbook. Never use a methanol based antifreeze as this does not contain the required corrosion inhibition properties.

CAUTION

Distilled water must be used with the antifreeze (see specification for antifreeze) in the cooling system.
If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale accumulation in the water passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. Reduced cooling
system efficiency may lead to the engine overheating and engine damage.

Cleaning Components

A high flashpoint solvent is recommended to reduce fire hazard.


Always follow container directions regarding the use of any solvent.
Always use the recommended cleaning agent or equivalent.
Do not use degreasing equipment for components containing items which could be damaged by the use of this process. Whenever possible, clean components and the area
surrounding them before removal. Always observe scrupulous cleanliness when cleaning dismantled components.

Lubrication

The majority of engine wear occurs while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have an adequate lubrication film. During assembly, oil or grease
(whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any rubbing surface, which has lost its lubrication film. Old grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. This is because used
lubricants will have lost some lubrication qualities and may contain abrasive foreign particles.
Use recommended lubricants. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are
not intended. This manual makes reference to molybdenum disulphide grease in the assembly of certain engine and chassis parts. Always check manufacturer
recommendations before using such special lubricants.

Joints and Joint Faces

Assemble joints dry unless otherwise specified in this manual.


If gaskets and/or jointing compound is recommended for use; remove all traces of old jointing material prior to reassembly. Do not use a tool which will damage the joint faces
and smooth out any scratches or burrs on the joint faces using an oil stone. Do not allow dirt or jointing material to enter any tapped holes.

Gaskets, O-rings

Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or
compression leaks.

Liquid Gasket, Non-permanent Locking Agent

Follow manufacturer's directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds will be used. Apply sparingly as excessive amounts of sealer may block engine
oil passages and cause serious damage.
Prior to reassembly, blow through any pipes, channels or crevices with compressed air.

WARNING

To prevent injury, always use eye, face and ear protection when using compressed air. Always wear protective gloves if the compressed air is to be directed in proximity to
the skin.

Screw Threads

Metric threads to ISO standard are used.


Damaged nuts, bolts and screws must always be discarded.
Castellated nuts must not be loosened back to accept a split pin, except in those recommended cases when this forms part of an adjustment.
Do not allow oil or grease to enter blind threaded holes. The hydraulic action on screwing in the bolt or stud could split the housing.
Always tighten a nut or bolt to the recommended torque figure. Damaged or corroded threads can affect the torque reading.
Unless specified, threaded fixings must always be fitted dry (no lubrication).

WARNING

Never lubricate a thread unless instructed to do so.


When a thread of a fixing is lubricated, the thread friction is reduced. When the fixing is tightened, reduced friction will cause over tightening and possible fixing failure.
A fixing which fails in service could cause component detachment leading to loss of control and an accident.

Locking Devices

Always release locking tabs and fit new locking washers. Do not reuse locking tabs.

Fitting a Split Pin

Always fit new split pins of the correct size for the hole in the bolt or stud. Do not loosen back castle nuts when fitting a split pin, except in those recommended cases when this
forms part of an adjustment.
Always fit new roll pins of an interference fit in the hole.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 5 of 527


Circlips, Retaining Rings

Replace any circlips and retaining rings that are removed. Removal weakens and deforms circlips causing looseness in the circlip groove. When installing circlips and retaining
rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them.
Always use the correct replacement circlip as recommended in the Triumph parts catalogue.

Self-Locking Nuts

Self-locking nuts can be reused, provided resistance can be felt when the locking portion passes over the thread of the bolt or stud.
DO NOT reuse self-locking nuts in critical locations, e.g. suspension components. Always use the correct replacement self-locking nut.

Encapsulated Bolts

An encapsulated bolt can be identified by a coloured section of thread which is treated with a locking agent.
Unless a specified repair procedure states otherwise, encapsulated bolts cannot be reused and MUST be replaced if disturbed or removed.

WARNING

Failure to replace an encapsulated bolt could lead to a dangerous riding condition. Always replace encapsulated bolts.

Oil and Grease Seals

Replace any oil or grease seals that are removed. Removal will cause damage to an oil seal which, if reused, would cause an oil leak.
Ensure the surface on which the new seal is to run is free of burrs or scratches. Renew the component if the original sealing surface cannot be completely restored.
Protect the seal from any surface which could cause damage over which it has to pass when being fitted. Use a protective sleeve or tape to cover the relevant surface and
avoid touching the sealing lip.
Lubricate the sealing lips with a recommended lubricant. This will help to prevent damage in initial use. On dual lipped seals, smear the area between the lips with appropriate
grease.
When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer's marks, press in with the marks facing out.
Seals must be pressed into place using a suitable driver. Use of improper tools will damage the seal.

Press

A part installed using a press or driver, such as a wheel bearing, should first be coated with oil or grease on its outer or inner circumference so that it will locate smoothly.

Ball Bearing

When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which is an interference fit should be pushed by a suitable driver. This prevents severe stress or damage to the load carrying
components. Press a ball bearing until it touches the shoulder in the bore or on the shaft.
With the sealing lip facing the lubricant, press or drift a seal to the depth of its housing, if the housing is shouldered, or flush with the face of the housing where no shoulder is
provided.

Chassis Bearing Lubrication

Note
This information relates only to bearing lubrication. For the procedures necessary to replace a bearing, always refer to the relevant section of this Service
Manual.
Bearings installed in engine and transmission applications are not covered by this information. Refer to the Lubrication chapter or the relevant engine chapter
for additional information.

General

For a bearing to be serviceable for its anticipated life span it must be checked, adjusted and lubricated at regular intervals, as specified in the service schedules given in the
Owner’s Handbook and this Service Manual.
A correctly lubricated bearing will have a film of lubrication that separates the moving parts, disperses heat and protects the bearing surfaces from corrosion.
Note
In all cases, use the lubricant recommended.
Grease the bearing, not the cavity where it is located.
A bearing that is not regularly checked and lubricated will have a reduced life span.

New Bearings

New bearings are typically protected with an oil preservative to prevent corrosion etc. during storage. This is NOT the lubrication for the bearing but DOES NOT need to be
washed off prior to assembly and in-service lubrication.
When lubricating a new bearing with grease the following steps should be taken:
1. Do not clean off the oil preservative.
2. Grease must be forced between the roller elements and the roller cage.
3. Rotate the bearing to ensure that the grease is distributed over the entire circumference of the internal parts.
4. Any excess grease should be smeared on the outside of the rollers.

Lubrication and Checks While Servicing a Bearing

1. Disassemble parts as necessary to access the bearing.


2. Inspect the old grease covering the bearing, looking for signs of bearing damage, i.e. flakes or specks of metal.
3. Remove the old grease.
4. Check the bearing for smooth operation and visually check for corrosion, dents and flaking in the bearing race, rollers or cage. Replace if necessary.
Several common bearing types and the lubrication procedures for each are identified below:

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 6 of 527


ceon

Sealed Bearings

Note
Sealed bearings can be identified by their integrated seals.
Sealed bearings are lubricated for life by the manufacturer.
Any attempt to change the grease in a sealed bearing will damage the integrated seals. If the seals are damaged, dirt and water will ingress and the life of the
bearing will be greatly reduced.

ceon

Taper Bearings

1. Grease must be forced between the inner race and the roller carrier.
2. Rotate the bearing to ensure that the grease is distributed over the entire circumference of the internal parts.
3. Any excess grease should be smeared on the outside of the rollers.

ceon

Angular Contact and Ball Bearing

1. Grease the bearing races and the ball bearing carrier.


2. Rotate the bearing to ensure that the grease is distributed over the entire circumference of the internal parts.

ceop

Needle Roller Bearings

1. Coat the needle rollers with grease.


2. Ensure the needle rollers turn so that the grease is distributed over the entire circumference of the internal parts.
3. Assemble the parts, adjust and check as necessary.

Metal Bushes

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 7 of 527


1. Disassemble the parts as necessary to access the bush.
2. Remove the old grease.
3. Apply fresh grease to the metal bush.

Fuel Handling Precautions

General

The following information provides basic precautions which must be observed if petrol (gasoline) is to be handled safely. It also outlines other areas of risk which must not be
ignored. This information is issued for basic guidance only and, if in doubt, appropriate enquiries should be made to your local Fire Officer.

Petrol – Gasoline

When petrol (gasoline) evaporates it produces 150 times its own volume in vapour which when diluted with air becomes a readily ignitable mixture. The vapour is heavier than
air and will always fall to the lowest level. It can readily be distributed throughout any indoor environment by air currents, consequently, even a small spillage of petrol (gasoline)
is potentially very dangerous.

WARNING

Petrol (gasoline) is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. When opening the fuel tank cap always observe all the following items:
Turn the motorcycle ignition switch OFF.
Do not smoke.
Always have a fire extinguisher containing FOAM, CO2, HALON or POWDER close at hand when handling or draining fuel or fuel systems. Fire extinguishers must also be
present in areas where fuel is stored.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery, negative (black) lead first, before carrying out, dismantling or draining work on a fuel system.
Whenever petrol (gasoline) is being handled, drained, stored or when fuel systems are being dismantled, make sure the area is well ventilated. All potential forms of ignition
must be extinguished or removed (this includes any appliance with a pilot light). Any lead-lamps must be flame-proof and kept clear of any fuel spillage.
Warning notices must be posted at a safe distance from the site of the work to warn others that petrol (gasoline) is being openly handled. The notice must instruct the reader
of the precautions which must be taken.
Failure to observe any of the above warnings may lead to a fire hazard which could result in personal injury.

WARNING

No one should be permitted to repair components associated with petrol (gasoline) without first having specialist training on the fire hazards which may be created by
incorrect installation and repair of items associated with petrol (gasoline).
Repairs carried out by untrained personnel could bring about a safety hazard leading to a risk of personal injury.

WARNING

Draining or extraction of petrol (gasoline) from a vehicle fuel tank must be carried out in a well ventilated area.
The receptacle used to contain the petrol (gasoline) must be more than adequate for the full amount of fuel to be extracted or drained. The receptacle should be clearly
marked with its contents, and placed in a safe storage area which meets the requirements of local authority regulations.
When petrol (gasoline) has been extracted or drained from a fuel tank, the precautions governing naked lights and ignition sources should be maintained.
Failure to observe any of the above warnings could bring about a safety hazard leading to a risk of personal injury.

Fuel Tank Removal

Fuel tanks should have a 'PETROL (GASOLINE) VAPOUR' warning label attached to them as soon as they are removed from the vehicle. In all cases, they must be stored in a
secured, marked area.

Chassis Repairs

WARNING

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident or collision it must be taken to an authorised Triumph dealer for repair or inspection. Any accident can cause damage to the
motorcycle, which if not correctly repaired, may cause a second accident which may result in injury or death.
The frame must not be modified as any modification to the frame such as welding or drilling may weaken the frame resulting in an accident.

Electrical Precautions

The following guidelines are intended to ensure the safety of the operator whilst preventing damage to the electrical and electronic components fitted to the motorcycle. Where
necessary, specific precautions are detailed in the relevant sections of this manual which should be referred to prior to commencing repair operations.
Equipment - Prior to commencing any test procedure on the motorcycle ensure that the relevant test equipment is working correctly and any harness or connectors are in good
condition, in particular mains leads and plugs.

WARNING

The ignition system produces extremely high voltages. Do not touch any part of the ignition system or any cables while the engine is running.
An electric shock caused by contact with the ignition system may lead to illness, injury or death.

WARNING

Wearers of surgically implanted heart pacemaker devices should not be in close proximity to ignition circuits and/or diagnostic equipment.
The ignition system and any diagnostic equipment may interrupt the normal operation of such devices causing illness or death.

WARNING

The battery contains harmful materials. Always keep children away from the battery whether or not it is fitted in the motorcycle.
Do not jump start the battery, touch the battery cables together or reverse the polarity of the cables as any of these actions may cause a spark which would ignite battery

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 8 of 527


WARNING
gases causing a risk of personal injury.

High Voltage Circuits - Whenever disconnecting live H.T. circuits always use insulated pliers. Exercise caution when measuring the voltage on the coil terminals while the
engine is running. High voltage spikes can occur on these terminals.
Connectors and Harness - The engine of a motorcycle is a particularly hostile environment for electrical components and connectors. Always ensure these items are dry and
oil-free before disconnecting and connecting test equipment. Never force connectors apart either by using tools or by pulling on the wiring itself. Always ensure locking
mechanisms are disengaged before removal and note the orientation to enable correct reconnection. Ensure that any protective covers and substances are replaced if
disturbed.
Having confirmed a component to be faulty, switch off the ignition and disconnect the battery negative (black) lead first. Remove the component and support the disconnected
harness. When replacing the component keep oily hands away from electrical connection areas and push connectors home until any locking mechanism becomes fully
engaged.

Battery Disconnecting

Before disconnecting the battery, switch off all electrical equipment.

WARNING

To prevent the risk of a battery exploding and to prevent damage to electrical components ALWAYS disconnect the battery negative (black) lead first. When reconnecting the
battery, always connect the positive (red) lead first, then the negative (black) lead. Always disconnect the battery when working on any part of the electrical system.
Failure to observe the above warnings may lead to electrical damage and a fire hazard which could cause personal injury.

Always ensure that battery leads are routed correctly and are not close to any potential chafing points.

Disciplines

Switch off the ignition prior to making any connection or disconnection in the system. An electrical surge can be caused by disconnecting 'live' connections which can damage
electronic components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free of grease, swarf, etc. as grease collects dirt which can cause tracking or high-resistance contacts.
Prior to commencing any test, and periodically during any test, touch a good earth to discharge body static. This is because some electronic components are vulnerable to
static electricity.

Electrical Wires

All the electrical wires are either single-colour or two-colour and, with only a few exceptions, must be connected to wires of the same colour. On any of the two-colour wires
there is a greater amount of one colour and a lesser amount of a second colour. A two-colour wire is identified by first the primary colour and then the secondary colour. For
example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a 'yellow/red' wire; it would be a 'red/yellow' wire if the colours were reversed to make red the main colour.

Glossary of Circuit Diagram Symbols

The following is a description of the symbols found in the circuit diagrams used in all Triumph Service Manuals.

Connector

1
2
3
4

This illustration is used to show all multiplug type electrical connectors on Triumph circuit diagrams. The numbers in the box relate to the terminal numbers of the connector
pins. On ECMs with two connectors, the number would be prefixed with the letters 'A' or 'B' to identify each connector. An additional number outside the box will identify the
component.

Diode

An electrical one-way valve. Diodes allow current to flow in one direction but will not allow it to return. The arrow, which forms part of the diode symbol, indicates the direction of
current flow.

Electromagnetic Winding (solenoid)

An electromagnetic winding (or solenoid) is used to convert an electrical current into a lateral movement. This can then be used to operate switches (as used in relays) or other
components such as fuel injectors or secondary air injection solenoids.

Fuse

This symbol is used to show all types of light bulbs. The numbers in the box relate to the terminal numbers of the connector pins. An additional number outside the box will
identify the component.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

Triumph use LEDs for the alarm warning light, instrument illumination and warning lights, gear change lights and rear light/brake lights on various models.

Motor

An electric motor. This could be the starter motor or a motor within an actuator, for example within the ABS modulator.

Relay

1 6 4 8

A relay is effectively an electromagnetic switch. To close the relay contacts and complete the circuit, an electromagnet in the relay is energised which causes the relay contacts
to close, making the circuit complete.
Relays are used when the electrical current is too great for a mechanical switch, usually when the switching must be done quickly to prevent arcing across the switch contacts.
If a mechanical switch were used, the mechanical switch contacts would quickly burn away.

Resistor

A device placed in a cable to reduce a voltage or restrict the maximum current a device can draw.

Splice

A hard cable joint where two or more cables are joined in the wiring harness. A potential source of both open and short circuits.

Switches

A mechanical device for completing or breaking a circuit. There are three common types of switch: normally open, normally closed and changeover.

Electrical Testing

For any electrical system to work, electricity must be able to flow in a complete circuit from the power source (the battery) via the components and back to the battery. No circuit
means no electrical flow. Once the power has left the positive side of the battery and run through the component it must then return to the battery on its negative side (this is
called earth or ground). To save on wiring, connections and space, the negative side of the battery is connected directly to the frame or engine. Around the frame and engine
will be various other ground points to which the wiring coming from components will be connected. In the case of the starter motor it bolts directly to the engine, which is bolted
to the frame. Therefore the frame and engine also form part of the earth return path.

Ohm’s Law

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 10 of 527


The relationship between voltage, current and resistance is defined by Ohm’s Law.
The potential of a battery is measured in volts (V).
The flow of current in a circuit (I) is measured in amperes.
The power rating of a consumer is measured in watts (W).
The resistance (R) of a circuit is measured in Ohms.
Ohm’s law, for practical work can be described as -

Power is calculated by multiplying Volts x Amps -

By transposing either of these formulae, the value of any unit can be calculated if the other two values are known.
For example, if a battery of 12 V is connected to a bulb of 60 W:
the current flowing in the circuit can be calculated by using -

the bulb resistance can be calculated by using -

To use either of the following triangles, put your finger over the value you want to find. Multiply the remaining values if side by side, or divide if one is over the other.

Basic Electrical Circuits

Basic Circuit Diagram

In the above circuit an electrical reservoir (the battery) is connected via a cable to a terminal on the controlling device (the switch) whose contacts are either open or closed.
The other terminal on the switch is connected via a cable to the consumer (the bulb), and the other side of the bulb filament is connected to ground (earth) by another cable.
The ground point is usually a part of the frame or engine, to which the battery negative terminal is also connected.
When the switch contacts are open (as shown in the diagram), the circuit is broken and no current flows. When the switch contacts are closed, the circuit is made and current
flows from the battery positive terminal through the switch contacts and bulb filament to ground. The frame completes the circuit to the battery negative terminal and the bulb
illuminates.
Although some circuits on the circuit diagram may at first seem more complicated, it will generally be found that they can be broken down into sections which do not differ
greatly from the basic circuit above.

Circuit Diagrams

Circuit diagrams are created to provide a 'picture' of the electrical system and to identify the route taken by each individual wire through the system, in order to identify which
components it feeds and which connectors the wire runs through. Circuit diagrams are an essential tool for fault finding, as it is possible to locate start and finish points for a
circuit without having to manually trace the wire through the motorcycle itself. Circuit diagrams may look confusing at first but when they are studied closely they soon become
logical.
Circuit diagrams also depict the inner workings of a switch housing (i.e. which wire connects to which when a switch is turned from one position to another) so that a test of that
switch can be made using the wire terminals in the connector instead of disassembling the switch itself.
More information can be found in Circuit Diagrams, in the Electrical section of the Service Manual.

Tracing Circuits

The following is a description of two types of common electrical failures, and some of the methods which may be used to find them.

Open Circuit

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 11 of 527


A break in an electrical circuit - current cannot flow. Usually caused by a break in a wire or cable or by a loose connection. Open circuits can often be intermittent, making
diagnosis difficult.

Short Circuit

A 'short cut' in an electrical circuit - current bypasses the intended circuit, either to ground or to another, different circuit. Often caused by failure of the cable insulation due to
chafing or trapping of the wire. There are two different types of short circuit - short to ground and short to battery Voltage.
A short to ground means that the current is going to ground before it reaches the component it is supposed to feed. These are often caused by chafing of the harness to the
frame or wires trapped between a bolted component, and will often blow the fuse on that circuit.
A short to battery voltage (12 Volts) is caused by a live power supply wire contacting an adjacent cable. Note that it is also possible for a 5 Volt sensor reference voltage to short
to an adjacent circuit, which can also cause electrical failures and DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Code) to be stored.
When tracing a wire that is suspect, carefully check the circuit diagram before starting. Remember:
a wire may diverge at a splice and go off to feed other circuits. If these circuits are working, check for wiring faults from the splice onwards.
the circuit diagram is not an accurate guide to the actual location of the parts when fitted on the motorcycle. It is a schematic diagram of the circuits.
particularly where engine management items are concerned, the circuit is only completed by the ECM. If the ECM is not connected, the circuit may register as open.

To Check Continuity:

CAUTION

Ensure the circuit being tested is switched off before measuring continuity. Damage to the Digital Multi Meter (DMM) may result from testing a 'live' circuit with the meter set
to resistance (Ω).

In the example below, the ground circuit continuity is being tested from the battery to the frame.

0.0

Locate each end of the wire.


Set the Digital Multi Meter (DMM) to resistance check Ohms.
Probe each end of the wire.
If there is continuity, the meter will usually bleep or register the resistance of the cable.
A high resistance figure could indicate a dirty or corroded connection.
If there is a break in the wire, the meter will not bleep or register a resistance.
By probing the wire in various places, the position of a high resistance or break in the wire (open circuit) can be narrowed down until it is found.

To Measure Voltage:

In the example below, the circuit voltage is being measured at the bulb positive (+) terminal.

12.7

Turn the circuit to be tested 'ON'.


Set the Digital Multi Meter (DMM) to Voltage Check (V). Ensure the multi meter is set to DC Volts for direct current circuits (most circuits) or AC Volts for alternating current
circuits (typically alternator output voltage tests).

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 12 of 527


Set the range of the DMM to the range best suited to the voltage of the circuit being tested (typically 20 Volts for most DMMs). Refer to the DMM manufacturers instructions.
Connect the black (ground) lead of the DMM to a reliable ground connection (usually the battery or frame ground).
Locate the positive terminal of the wire or component to be tested.
Connect the red (positive) lead of the DMM to the positive terminal.
Read the voltage from meter.

Splices

Splices are probably the most common cause of wiring faults after connectors. Splices are made where two or more wires come together and diverge in different directions,
usually to feed a different circuit.
To locate a splice, it is necessary to peel back the insulation and examine the splice for its integrity. The most common fault is where one of the wires at the joint has come adrift
usually causing the circuit it feeds or grounds to become 'dead'.

Switches

To check a switch, set the multimeter to resistance/continuity and probe the two pins that form a closed circuit when the switch is pushed. If the switch is working correctly, the
resistance should register or the meter will bleep.

Relays

All relay cases have a circuit path engraved on them showing the circuit path across the electromagnet and the switch. Before making any checks, first note the pin
designations, current paths, and whether or not there is a diode in either circuit path.

Make continuity checks across the electromagnet first, usually from pin 86 (positive) to pin 85 (negative). If a diode appears in the circuit use the diode check on the multimeter
(Volts scale) in the direction of current flow. If there is no diode, use the resistance check facility. An open circuit or unusually high resistance value indicates a faulty relay.
To check the switch side, apply a 12 Volt supply between pins 86 and 85. With the supply connected, the relay should be heard to click and there should be continuity between
pins 30 and 87. An open circuit indicates a faulty relay.

CAN (Controller Area Networking)

CAN (sometimes called CANbus) is a protocol for data communication between Electronic Control Modules (ECMs). Each ECM on the network is connected by a single pair of
twisted wires (or bus) which are used for the transmission of vehicle sensor data. By using CAN, the overall number of system sensors, and the amount of cabling required to
allow ECMs to communicate with each other is greatly reduced.
This saves cost, weight and space, and makes the system more reliable, as the physical number of wires and connections is reduced.

CAN works by each ECM sending out 'packets' of information (such as engine speed or fuel consumption information) on to the network bus (note that the network must be free
of data before any ECM is allowed to transmit). This data is given a priority according to its importance (for example 'engine speed' may have a higher priority than 'low fuel
level'), so that even if two ECMs send data at the same time, high priority information is always sent first. Lower priority data is then resent after the high priority data has been
received by all ECMs on the network.
The receiving ECM confirms the data has been received correctly and that the data is valid, and this information is then used by the ECM as necessary. Specific data not
required by an ECM will still be received and acknowledged as correct but then disregarded (for example if an ECM does not require 'clutch switch position' information, this
data packet would be ignored).
This allows for a very high speed system of communication, which is also very reliable. Should one ECM fail or transmit corrupted or otherwise incorrect messages, none of the
other ECMs on the network will be affected, and after a certain time that ECM will be prevented from transmitting further messages until the fault is rectified. This stops the
ECM from clogging the network with incorrect data and preventing other messages from getting through. The fault would then be reported by a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code).
Triumph currently uses CAN for communication between the following ECMs:
Engine ECM
Instruments
ABS ECM
Immobiliser or Chassis ECM
Diagnostic connector
Inertial Measurement Unit (if fitted)
Audio system (if fitted)
Electronic steering lock (if fitted)

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 13 of 527


LED Headlights (if fitted).

LIN (Local Interconnect Network)

LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The bus is a single master/multiple slave bus that uses
a single wire to transmit data.
By using LIN, the amount of cabling required to allow components to communicate with each other is greatly reduced. This saves cost, weight and space, and makes the
system more reliable, as the physical number of wires and connections is reduced.
The instruments use some of this data internally and also broadcasts it on the CANbus (Controller Area Networking) for use on the motorcycle as necessary.
Information (such as headlight main beam) is being requested continuously by the Instruments, once a confirmation of the request is recognised the instruments will react
accordingly.

Example

Pressing the headlight main beam button on the switch housing (left hand handlebar) confirms to the instruments that headlight main beam is required.
The instruments confirm the data has been received correctly and that the data is valid.
Once confirmed the headlight main beam is switched on.
Triumph currently uses LIN on certain models for communication between the instruments and the following components:
Fog light button
Heated seat
Dip beam/Daytime running lights (DRL) switch (if equipped)

depending on the mileage the motorcycle travels each year.
1. Motorcycles travelling less than 6,000 miles (10,000 km) per year must be maintained annually. In addition to this, mileage based items require maintenance at their
specified intervals, as the motorcycle reaches this mileage.
2. Motorcycles travelling approximately 6,000 miles (10,000 km) per year must have the annual maintenance and the specified mileage based items carried out together.
3. Motorcycles travelling more than 6,000 miles (10,000 km) per year must have the mileage based items maintained as the motorcycle reaches the specified mileage. In
addition to this, annual based items will require maintenance at their specified annual intervals.
In all cases maintenance must be carried out at or before the specified maintenance intervals shown. Consult an authorised Triumph dealer for advice on which maintenance
schedule is most suitable for your motorcycle.
Triumph Motorcycles cannot accept any responsibility for damage or injury resulting from incorrect maintenance or improper adjustment.

Engine Check For Fluid Leaks

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

Standard required:

All engine components must be free from fluid leaks.

Check:

Check the visible areas of the crankcase, cylinder head and transmission for fluid leaks.
Visually inspect the oil hoses (if fitted) for fluid leaks and signs of damage or chafing (where accessible).

Rectification if required:

A leaking or damaged component must be replaced.

Engine Oil - Level Inspection

In order for the engine, transmission, and clutch to function correctly, maintain the engine oil at the correct level, and change the oil and oil filter in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

WARNING

Exhaust fumes are poisonous, always operate a motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation.
Do not operate a motorcycle in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.
Operating a motorcycle in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short period of time.

WARNING

Motorcycle operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or contaminated engine oil will cause accelerated engine wear resulting in engine or transmission seizure. Seizure of the
engine or transmission may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

Running the engine with insufficient oil will cause engine damage. If the low oil pressure indicator remains on, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.

1. Start the engine and run at idle for approximately five minutes.
2. Stop the engine, then wait for at least three minutes to allow the oil to settle.
3. Note the oil level visible in the sight-glass.

3. Throttle hard stop blanking screw

Adjust the air bypass screws such that there is a minimum amount of adjustment used on each adjustment screw to achieve throttle balance. For example, if MAP pressures
were as follows and were shown to be out of balance:
Cylinder 1 MAP Pressure: 490 mmHg
Cylinder 2 MAP Pressure: 435 mmHg
Cylinder 3 MAP Pressure: 415 mmHg
Each cylinder should be adjusted to 450 mmHg, this will help minimise the amount of adjustment at each adjustment screw.
Note
The throttles cannot be balanced using equipment to measure vacuum in each throttle. Instead, the Triumph diagnostic software must be used.

Spark Plugs - Inspection

Assessing the condition of a spark plug can be a valuable aid to a technician, and a good source of information about the engines overall operating condition.
In general, a light brown/grey colour tells you that the spark plug is operating at optimum temperature and that the engine is in good condition.
Dark colouring, such as heavy wet or dry deposits, can indicate:
an overly rich condition

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 44 of 527


too cold a heat range spark plug
a possible vacuum leak
low compression
overly retarded timing
too large a spark plug gap.
If the deposits are wet, it can be an indication of:
a breached head gasket
poor oil control from the piston rings
valve train problems
an extremely rich condition - depending on the actual liquid present at the firing tip.
Signs of fouling or excessive heat must be traced quickly to prevent further deterioration of performance and possible engine damage.

Normal Condition

An engines condition can be judged by the appearance of the spark plugs firing end. If the firing end of a spark plug is light brown or grey, the condition can be judged to be
good and the spark plug is functioning optimally.

Dry and Wet Fouling

Although there are many different scenarios, if the insulation resistance between the centre electrode and the shell is over 10 Ohms, the engine can be started normally. If the
insulation resistance drops to 0 Ohms, the firing end is fouled by either wet or dry carbon.

Overheating

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 45 of 527


When a spark plug overheats, deposits that have accumulated on the insulator tip melt and give the insulator a glazed or glossy appearance.

Deposits

The accumulation of deposits on the firing end is influenced by oil leakage, fuel quality and the engines operating duration.

Breakage

Breakage is usually caused by thermal expansion and thermal shock due to sudden heating or cooling.

Normal Life

A worn spark plug not only wastes fuel but also strains the whole ignition system because the expanded gap (due to erosion) requires higher voltages. Normal rates of gap
growth are:
0.00063 - 0.000126 inches per 1000 miles (0.01 - 0.02 mm per 1000 km).

Melting

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 46 of 527


Melting is caused by overheating. Mostly, the electrode surface is rather lustrous and uneven. The melting point of nickel alloy is 1200 to 1300 °C (2200 to 2400 °F).

Erosion, Corrosion and Oxidation

The material of the electrodes has oxidised, and when the oxidation is heavy, it will be green on the surface. The surface of the electrodes will also be fretted and rough.

Tyres - Check For Wear/Damage

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

WARNING

Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction, stability and handling which may lead to loss of control and an accident.
When tubeless tyres, used without a tube, become punctured, leakage is often very slow. Always inspect tyres very closely for punctures. Check the tyres for cuts,
embedded nails or other sharp objects. Operation with punctured or damaged tyres will adversely affect motorcycle stability and handling which may lead to loss of control
or an accident.
Check the rims for dents or deformation. Operation with damaged or defective wheels or tyres is dangerous and loss of motorcycle control or an accident could result.
Always consult your authorised Triumph dealer for tyre replacement, or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre becomes more susceptible to puncture and failure. It is estimated that 90% of all tyre failures occur during the last 10% of tread life (90%
worn). It is false economy and unsafe to use tyres until they are worn to their minimum.
All tyres are fitted with tread wear indicators. When the tyre becomes worn down as far as the top of a tread wear indicator, the tyre is worn beyond its service life and must be
replaced.

1. Tread wear indicator

Attention must also be paid to the legal limits for tread wear, which differ from country to country. Tyres that have worn to the legal limit in the country or region in which the
motorcycle is operated must be replaced, even if tread wear has not yet reached the level of the tread wear indicators.
Measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tyre that has worn to, or beyond the minimum allowable tread depth.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 61 of 527


Inspect tyres for cracks, splits and kerb damage. Always replace tyres that are suspected of having become damaged.
Damaged tyres must be replaced.

Tyre Pressures - Check/Adjust

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

Note
Always check the tyre pressures when they are cold.
Checking tyre pressures when they are cold will achieve a more accurate reading on the tyre pressure gauge.
1. Remove the caps from the tyre valves.
2. Position the tyre pressure gauge onto the end of the valve body making sure the tyre valve is in contact with the tyre inflator.
3. Momentarily deflate the tyre to equalise the pressure in the tyre and the gauge.
4. Check that the correct pressure is displayed on the gauge.
5. If the air pressure is below the recommended setting, inflate the tyre until the correct pressure is achieved.
6. If it is greater than the recommended setting, slowly deflate the tyre checking the gauge regularly until the correct reading is achieved.

Use the special drive chain lubricant as recommended in the specification section.
Correct application is critical for drive chain lubrication. Apply the lubricant for one full drive chain revolution only, then leave for eight hours before riding. This allows the
lubricant’s solvent (used to thin the oil) to evaporate and the oil to 'soak' into all parts of the drive chain. If the lubricant is applied and the motorcycle is ridden shortly
afterwards, the lubricant is unlikely to reach all parts and the majority will be flung off and wasted. Applying excessive amounts is not helpful under any circumstances.
It should be noted that the lubricant is applied to the drive chain to lubricate its action across the sprockets. In an O-ring chain, external lubrication does not penetrate to the
bushes and rollers as the O-ring seals prevents this from happening.

CAUTION

Do not use a power jet washer to clean the chain as this may cause damage to the chain components.

Bank Angle Indicators - Inspect

WARNING

Always replace the bank angle indicators before they are worn to their maximum limit.
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit will allow the motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

The bank angle indicators must not be used as a guide to how far the motorcycle may be safely banked.
This depends on many various conditions including, but not limited to, road surface, tyre condition and weather.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Additional Work

Standard required:

Check Triumph Online for all additional work required by relevant Triumph issued Service Bulletins, Recalls and Technical News Bulletins. These must be completed prior to the
road test.

Road Test

WARNING

When riding the motorcycle the rider must always wear a safety helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly
coloured jacket. Brightly coloured clothing will considerably increase a rider'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.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 75 of 527


WARNING

A safety helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear as it offers protection against head injuries. Your safety helmet should be carefully chosen and should fit
your head comfortably and securely. A brightly coloured safety helmet will increase a rider'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.

Note
For the first 1,000 miles, the motorcycle should be ridden within the running in procedure (see Owner’s Handbook), checking for abnormalities, unusual noises
and for satisfactory operation.
When checking the brakes on road test, a suitable safe place should be found to carry out the test.

WARNING

Do not attempt to test the ABS function of the motorcycle’s braking system during road test. The ABS function is for use in emergency situations only. Any attempt to
artificially create an emergency situation is extremely hazardous and could lead to a collision with a following vehicle or loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Cylinder Head
Exploded View - Cylinder Head and Valves

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 94 of 527


Exploded View - Camshaft and Camshaft Drive

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 95 of 527


Cylinder Head - Description

The engine is fitted with an aluminium alloy cylinder head, which carries the camshafts, valves and spark plugs. The cylinder head is cast as a single entity and various
components are permanently added after machining.
The camshafts run directly in the cylinder head without separate bearings. Valve clearances are adjusted by changing variable thickness shims which sit between the valve
tappet bucket and the valves.
The camshafts are driven by a silent-type chain. The chain is guided by two blades and is tensioned by a hydraulic tensioner.
The hydraulic tensioner is fed oil via a gallery in the cylinder head. The combination of oil pressure and spring pressure pushes the plunger against the tensioner blade which
tensions the camshaft drive chain. The hydraulic tensioner has an oil pressure relief valve located in the plunger. It is set to open between 19 and 23 bar. When open it sprays
oil through a drilling in the tensioner blade onto the camshaft drive chain.
Oil is supplied to the cylinder head by an internal gallery. Once supplied to the cylinder head, the oil is distributed along internal drilling’s within the head casting and camshaft.
Single valve springs are used to close both the inlet and exhaust valves. These valve springs have close wound coils at one end to assist in the prevention of valve bounce at
high engine speed and to give a smooth valve actuation. When assembling the cylinder head it is important that the close wound, colour coded ends of the springs are fitted
downwards (towards the piston). The tip of the inlet and exhaust valves are hardened to give a long service life.
Due to the methods used to assemble the valve seat and valve guides to the head, these parts cannot be replaced.

CAUTION

In any of the following operations which necessitate the removal or disconnection of the camshaft drive chain, NEVER turn the engine without the camshaft drive chain and

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

Accurate camshaft timing can only be obtained using the correct timing method and service tools as described below.

CAUTION

The camshaft sprockets are attached to the camshafts using slotted bolt holes. This allows for very accurate valve timing and therefore improved performance and fuel
economy.
Never fit the camshaft sprockets without correctly setting the camshaft timing using the service tools and timing procedure described below. Severe engine damage will
result from incorrect valve timing adjustment.

1. Check that the dot alignment mark on the primary gear is still aligned with the line on the crankcase and the Crankshaft Timing Pin T3880601 is installed.
2. Thoroughly clean the camshafts and journals. Inspect the ends of the camshafts for correct fitment of the sealing plugs. Lubricate the camshafts with clean engine oil before
fitting to the cylinder head.
3. If removed, refit the camshaft drive chain.
4. If removed, refit the camshaft sprockets noting their orientation, and secure using the original bolts. DO NOT tighten the bolts at this stage; the sprockets must be free to
rotate.
5. Locate each camshaft to the cylinder head ensuring the camshafts are correctly identified (inlet and exhaust) and are also correctly located over their respective valve
banks.
6. Refit the exhaust camshaft to the cylinder head, hooking the camshaft drive chain over the sprocket as you do so.
7. Ensure there is no slack between the crankshaft and exhaust sprocket when the sprocket bolts are centrally located within the slotted holes. Ensure alignment marks on the
end of the camshaft journals are pointing inwards.
8. Refit the inlet camshaft to the cylinder head, hooking the chain over the sprocket as you do so.
9. Ensure the bolts on the inlet sprocket are also centrally located within the slotted holes when there is no slack between the exhaust and inlet sprockets.
10. Check that the camshaft drive chain is correctly located around the crankshaft and both camshaft sprockets.

1. Lubricate the valve stems with a solution of engine oil and molybdenum disulphide grease in the proportions of 60 grammes of grease mixed with 930 cc of engine oil.
2. Install the valve into the valve guide.
3. Fit the valve stem seal over the valve stem and, using a suitable tool, press down fully until the seal is correctly seated over the valve guide.
Note
During fitment of the valve stem seal, two distinctly different degrees of resistance will be noted when the seal is correctly fitted.
Firstly, press the seal down the valve stem until the lower side of the seal comes into contact with the valve guide. Greater resistance is felt at this contact point
and further gentle pressure is then required to locate the seal over the top end of the valve guide.
On application of this pressure, the seal can be felt to positively locate over the top face of the valve guide. Once correctly positioned, the seal cannot be
pushed down any further.

CAUTION

Incorrect fitment of the valve stem oil seals could lead to high oil consumption and blue smoke emissions from the exhaust system. Do not use excessive force in fitting the
seal as this may break the seal ring.

4. Install the valve spring over the valve stem. Ensure the close wound, colour coded ends of the springs are fitted downwards (towards the piston).
5. Fit the valve spring retainer.
6. Compress the valve spring ensuring that the spring is compressed squarely to prevent damage to the valve stem and cylinder head.
7. Fit the valve collets ensuring correct collet location in the spring retainer and valve as the spring compressor is released.

CAUTION

Always check for correct location of the valve collets during and after assembly. If not fitted correctly, the collets may become dislodged when the engine is running allowing
the valves to contact the pistons. Any such valve to piston contact will cause severe engine damage.

Valve to Valve Guide Clearance

If the valve guides are worn beyond the service limit given below, the cylinder head must be replaced.

Clutch Pack Height

The clutch pack height should only be measured if the friction plates and the steel plates have been replaced.
The clutch pack height is critical for a smooth operation of the gear change and needs to be measured prior to installation.
If used steel plates are being fitted, the clutch pack height measurement is not necessary, as the plates may not be worn to the service limit (and are therefore still serviceable),
but could fall outside the clutch pack height tolerance when measured.
If building a new clutch pack, its height must be correct. To achieve this, build the new clutch pack with the following:
2 x new outer friction plate
6 x new friction plates
1 x new inner friction plate
7 x steel plates, 2.0 mm thick
1 x outer steel plate, 2.0 mm thick.

blockage and contamination.

Balancer
Exploded View - Balancer Shaft

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 139 of 527


abxc

Balancer

The balancer is fitted to control 'pulsing' within the engine. Without any form of balancer, the engine would 'pulse' each time the crankshaft rotated. This 'pulsing' would be felt
as a vibration which would amplify as the engine speed was increased.
The balancer has the effect of a pair of counterbalance weights which create an equal amount of energy in the opposite direction, and at the same time as that produced by the
crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods. Because the opposing pulses occur at the same point of crankshaft rotation, and are of an equal magnitude, a state of equilibrium or
balance is reached.

Balancer - Removal

1. Separate the crankcase halves (see Crankcases - Disassembly).


2. With the crankcase halves separated, lift out the balancer shaft complete with the shaft bearings, washer and circlips.
3. To remove the needle roller bearing, slide the bearing, circlip and bearing sleeve from the balancer shaft. Note the orientation of the bearing prior to removal.

WARNING

When using a press, always wear overalls, eye face and hand protection. Objects such as bearings frequently break-up under load and the debris caused during break-up
may cause damage and injury to unprotected parts of the body.
Never wear loose clothing, which could become trapped in the press and cause crushing injury to the hand, arms or other parts of the anatomy.

4. To remove the roller ball bearing, remove the circlip and washer, then using a press and press bars remove the bearing race from the shaft, ensuring the inner bearing race
is supported. Discard the bearing.

CAUTION

Do not remove the drive gear from the balancer shaft. The drive gear is aligned to the shaft. If the balancer and drive gear are not correctly aligned, severe engine vibration
will occur leading to damage to components.

Balancer - Inspection

1. Inspect the balancer gear for chipped or missing teeth.


2. Inspect all bearings for signs of overheating (blue discolouration), seized or damaged rollers, and any other damage.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 140 of 527


3. Inspect the gear teeth for overheating (blue discolouration).

Balancer - Assembly

Note
Ensure the inner race of the roller ball bearing is supported when installing the bearing.
1. Position a new roller ball bearing to the balancer shaft, ensuring the circlip is positioned nearest to the drive gear.

WARNING

When using a press, always wear overalls, eye face and hand protection. Objects such as bearings frequently break-up under load and the debris caused during break-up
may cause damage and injury to unprotected parts of the body.
Never wear loose clothing, which could become trapped in the press and cause crushing injury to the hand, arms or other parts of the anatomy.

2. Using a press and press bars, fit the roller ball bearing to the balancer shaft.
3. Refit the washer and a new circlip to the shaft.
4. Lubricate and fit the needle roller bearing and install a new circlip in the same orientation as noted prior to removal.

Use semi or fully synthetic 10W/40 or 10W/50 motorcycle engine oil which meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T, sold as
Castrol Power RS Racing 4T in some countries.
Triumph recommends the fully synthetic 10W/40 motorcycle engine oil for most conditions. The oil viscosity may need to be changed to accommodate the ambient
temperatures in your riding area.
Refer to the chart below for the correct oil viscosity (10W/40 or 10W/50) to be used in your riding area.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 163 of 527


Oil Viscosity Temperature Range

CAUTION

Triumph high performance fuel injected engines are designed to use semi or fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil which meets specification API SH (or higher) and JASO
MA.
Do not add any chemical additives to the engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates the clutch and any additives could cause the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil not conforming to the required specification. The use of these oils may cause instant, severe
engine damage.
Ensure no foreign matter enters the crankcase during an oil change or top up.

Triumph Engine Oil

Your Triumph motorcycle is a quality engineered product which has been carefully built and tested to exacting standards. Triumph Motorcycles are keen to ensure that you
enjoy optimum performance from your motorcycle and with this objective in mind have tested many of the engine lubricants currently available to the limits of their performance.

Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil Filters

To protect the environment, do not pour oil on the ground, down sewers or drains, or into watercourses. Do not place used oil filters in with general waste. If in doubt contact
your local authority.

Engine Oil Circuit Description

Oil is collected from the sump and is drawn through a mesh strainer into the oil pump rotor. The oil pump is fitted with a single pumping rotor which supplies pressurised oil to
the lubrication circuit via the oil pressure relief valve. The relief valve is set to open at 5.1 bar (75 lb/in ²) and when open, returns high pressure oil directly to the sump.
Pressurised oil is delivered to the outside rim of the oil filter, where it is filtered by passing through the filter membrane.
Filtered oil is then delivered to the oil-to-water heat exchanger (mounted on the front of the engine), where it is cooled.
The cooled oil is then fed into the lower crankcase gallery. From here it is distributed around the engine:
Oil is delivered to the crankshaft main bearings and, via drillings in the crankshaft, to the big end bearings.
Spray jets located in the upper crankcase, behind the main bearing shells, lubricate the pistons and connecting rod small ends. These jets are fed oil from the crankshaft oil
feed. A low oil pressure warning light switch is also located in the upper crankcase gallery.
Some oil is sent directly to the cylinder head via an internal gallery. Oil that arrives at the cylinder head is fed to both camshafts via a gallery in the cylinder head casting that
delivers oil directly to the sprocket end of the camshafts. Oil is then fed through the hollow camshafts to the other camshaft bearings, the tappet buckets and the valves.
Oil is fed to the gearbox via internal oil pipes and drillings that supply oil directly to the end of each shaft. Oil is circulated along the gearbox shafts to exit holes that feed
directly to the bearings, gears and selectors.

Engine Oil Circuit

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 164 of 527


Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from the engine oil into the coolant.
Filtered oil is delivered to the heat exchanger via an opening (3) where it is circulated through the heat exchanger core. Coolant is pumped through spigot (1) into the heat
exchanger core to cool the oil. The cooled oil then exits the heat exchanger (4) and flows to the main oil gallery. The coolant then flows out of the heat exchanger (2) and
through the rest of the cooling system.

1. Coolant in
2. Coolant out
3. Oil in
4. Oil out

An additional benefit of the heat exchanger is that, as the engine coolant reaches its operating temperature more quickly than the engine oil, the oil is heated by the engine
coolant at lower engine temperatures; this allows the engine oil to reach its optimum operating temperatur¿ more quickly, thereby helping to improve engine oil life, reduce
exhaust emissions and reduce engine wear.

Oil and Coolant Pump - Removal

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

WARNING

Do not remove the coolant pressure cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the radiator is hot and also under pressure. Contact with hot
coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.

WARNING

If the engine has recently been running, the engine oil will be hot to the touch. Contact with the hot oils may cause damage to exposed skin. To avoid skin damage, do not
touch hot oil.

WARNING

Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contamination which
can cause cancer. Wear suitable clothing and avoid skin contact.
The engine oil and filter must be replaced in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.

CAUTION

Do not pour engine oil on the ground, down sewers or drains, or into watercourses. To prevent pollution of watercourses etc., dispose of used oil sensibly. If in doubt contact
your local authority.

Note
The oil pump and water pump are supplied as an assembly and cannot be separated. This procedure covers the removal of the oil and water pump assembly.

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

CAUTION

Before fitting the oil pump to the crankcase ensure the pump internal surfaces have been wetted with clean engine oil. The pump may fail to pick up oil from the sump if the
surfaces have not been wetted. This will cause the engine to run without engine oil pressure and will lead to severe engine damage.

1. Install a new O-ring to the inlet sleeve on the water pump body.
2. Fill the oil pump with new engine oil, turning the pump rotor as the oil is poured in to make sure that all surfaces are coated with oil.
3. Position the oil pump to the crankcase and insert the water pump inlet sleeve into the opening in the crankcase.
4. Fit the oil pump to the crankcase. Make sure that the oil pump dowel correctly locates into the fixing hole in the crankcase.

CAUTION

Do not use excessive force to insert the dowel into the crankcase. Severe dowel or crankcase damage may result from the use of excessive force.

5. Using a suitable pin punch, gently tap the dowel downwards into the crankcase until it seats.
6. Feed the drive chain over the transmission input shaft and fit to the sprocket.
7. Fit the drive chain to the sprocket on the oil pump.
8. Support the oil pump drive sprocket and carefully refit the needle roller bearing.

The twist grip position sensor is used to relay twist grip position information to the engine ECM. The engine ECM uses this information to drive the throttle actuation motor to the
correct position.

Transponder

A transponder-responder chip located in the ignition key. The transponder is activated by a radio signal sent out by the immobiliser control module, via an antenna located
around the ignition switch. If the immobiliser control module does not receive the correct code signal from the transponder, the immobiliser will remain active and the engine will
not start.

Fuel Requirements

Fuel Requirements - all countries except USA

This model must be run on 91 RON or higher unleaded fuel.

Ethanol

Ethanol is added to petrol in volumes up to 10% in Europe and up to 85% in other countries. Triumph motorcycles can use fuel containing ethanol up to 25%.

Fuel Requirements - USA

In the United States of America where the octane rating of fuel is measured in a different way, the following information may be applied:
This model is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with a CLC or AKI octane rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or higher.
Note
If 'Knocking' or 'Pinking' occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, use a different brand of gasoline or a higher octane rating.

CAUTION

The use of leaded gasoline is illegal in some countries, states or territories and will invalidate the vehicle and emissions control warranties. Additionally, leaded gasoline will

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 186 of 527


CAUTION
cause damage to emissions control components.

Oxygenated Gasoline

To help in meeting clean air standards, some areas of the U.S. use oxygenated gasoline to help reduce harmful emissions. This model will give best performance when using
unleaded gasoline. However, the following should be used as a guide to the use of oxygenated fuels.

CAUTION

Because of the generally higher volatility of oxygenated fuels, starting, engine response and fuel consumption may be adversely affected by their use. Should any of these
difficulties be experienced, run the motorcycle on normal unleaded gasoline.

Ethanol

Ethanol fuel is a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline and is often described under the names 'gasohol', 'ethanol enhanced', or 'contains ethanol'. This fuel may be used in
Triumph motorcycles.

Methanol

CAUTION

Fuels containing methanol should not be used in Triumph motorcycles as damage to components in the fuel system can be caused by contact with methanol.

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)

The use of gasolines containing up to 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is permitted in Triumph motorcycles.

Electrical Connectors

Before beginning any diagnosis, the following connector related information should be noted:
Note
A major cause of hidden electrical faults can be traced to faulty electrical connectors. For example:
Dirty/corroded terminals
Damp terminals
Broken or bent cable pins within multiplugs.
For example, the electronic control module (ECM) relies on the supply of accurate information to enable it to plan the correct fuelling and ignition timing. One dirty terminal will
cause an excessive voltage drop resulting in an incorrect signal to the ECM.
If, when carrying out fault diagnosis, a fault appears to clear by simply disconnecting and reconnecting an electrical plug, examine each disconnected plug for the following.

Before Disconnection:

If testing with a voltmeter, the voltage across a connector should be virtually battery Volts (unless a resistor is fitted in the circuit). If there is a noticeable change, suspect
faulty/dirty connections.

When Disconnecting a Connector:

Check for a security device that must be released before the connector can be separated, e.g. barb, hook and eye etc.

When Inspecting a Connector:

Check that the individual pins have not been bent


Check for dampness/dirt/corrosion
Check cables for security
Check cable pin joints for damage.

When Connecting a Connector:

Ensure there is no dirt around the connector/seal


Push together squarely to ensure terminals are not bent or incorrectly located
Push the two halves together positively.

Disconnection of ECM Connectors

CAUTION

When disconnecting a connector, never pull directly on the wires as this may result in cable and connector damage.

CAUTION

Never disconnect an ECM when the ignition switch is in the ON position as this may cause multiple fault codes to be logged in the ECM memory.
Always disconnect an ECM after disconnecting the battery negative (black) lead first.

1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position and wait at least 1 minute for the ECM to complete its power down sequence.
2. Press down on the locking device and gently pull back on the connector to release it from the ECM.

Reconnection of ECM Connectors

CAUTION

Damage to the connector pins may result if an attempt to fit the connectors incorrectly is made.

System Diagnostics

The engine management system has an on-board diagnostics feature which allows service technicians to retrieve stored data from the ECM using Triumph diagnostic software.
Full details of the Triumph diagnostic software operation and how to interpret the results are given in the Triumph Diagnostic Tool User Guide.
The software is connected, via an interface cable, to the motorcycle using a dedicated diagnostic plug situated beneath the seat. By using a dedicated plug, no electrical
connectors associated with the system are disturbed, reducing potential connector damage.
The software allows the user to retrieve data associated with the system sensors and actuators, test various component functions, read build data and make minor adjustments
to the set-up of the system. The data and tests available are described on the following pages.

On-board Fault Detection System

The on-board diagnostic system has two stages to fault detection. When a fault is detected, the DSM (Diagnostic Status Manager) raises a flag to indicate that a fault is present
and increments a counter. The counter checks the number of instances that the fault is noted. For example, if there is a fault in the crankshaft position sensor, the counter will
increment its count each time the crankshaft turns through 360°, provided the fault is still present.
When the count begins, the fault is detected but not confirmed. If the fault continues to be detected and the count reaches a predetermined threshold, the fault becomes
confirmed. If the fault is an emissions related fault or a serious malfunction affecting engine performance, a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) and freeze-frame data will be
logged in the ECM's memory and the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on the motorcycle instrument panel is illuminated. Once a fault is confirmed, the number of warm-up
cycles made by the engine is counted. If the fault clears, the warm-up cycle counter will extinguish the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) at a predetermined count, and erase
the DTC and freeze-frame data from the ECM memory at another (higher) count.
A single warm-up cycle is deemed to have taken place when the following criteria have been met:
The coolant temperature must be raised to 72°C or more.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 191 of 527


The coolant temperature must have risen by 23°C or more from its start temperature, when 72°C is reached.
A controlled power down sequence must take place.
Note
When a fault has been rectified, the MIL will remain illuminated until sufficient non-fault warm-up cycles have taken place to turn it off. The MIL will be
immediately extinguished if, after first rectifying the fault, the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that caused the MIL illumination is erased from the ECM memory
using the Triumph diagnostic software.

Note
In some cases, when a fault is detected, the engine management system will revert to a limp-home mode. In this mode, the engine will still function though the
performance and fuel economy may be marginally affected. In some cases, the rider may not notice any appreciable difference from normal operation.

Service Symbol/General Warning Symbol

The service symbol will illuminate for five seconds after the motorcycle start up sequence as a reminder that a service is due in approximately 60 miles (100 km). The
service symbol will illuminate permanently when the mileage is reached, it will remain permanently illuminated until the service interval is reset using the Triumph Diagnostic
tool.
The general warning symbol will flash if an ABS or engine management fault has occurred and the ABS and/or MIL warning lights are illuminated. Rectify the fault and clear
the diagnostic trouble codes using the Triumph Diagnostic tool.

Engine ECM Connector Pin Numbering

The above illustration shows the pin numbering system used in the engine management circuit diagram.
The smaller connector's pins are prefixed B and C and the larger connector pins A. Connector C is grey in colour. As viewed on the mating face with the ECM (as per the
illustration), pins are numbered from right to left with number one in the top right corner.

Engine Adaption

General Information

The engine management system fitted to this model is adaptive. This means that the system is able to learn about new or changing operating conditions. The fuelling and
throttle system can continuously adapt itself without needing to constantly make major adjustments from a fixed baseline setting.
Adaptive changes can become necessary because of different fuels, changes in the region in which the motorcycle is operated (i.e. operation at high altitude where it was
previously used at sea level) or because a new part may have been fitted which has slightly different characteristics to the old part. Fuelling and throttle system adaptive
changes are automatic and require no intervention by rider or dealer.

Adaption Status and Range

To see if a motorcycle has fully adapted, a facility named is provided on the diagnostic tool under Engine Diagnostics - Sensor Data - Engine Adaption. The following adaption
details can be examined:

Function Examined Report Method Range/Status Description

Closed throttle position reference status Adapted/not adapted N/A

Twist grip adapted Adapted/not adapted N/A

Idle speed control adaption status % N/A

Oxygen sensor 1 adaption status (off idle) % Status off idle

Terminology

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 192 of 527


Where the term 'status' is used, this indicates how far the present operating parameter is from the stored (adapted) value. The nearer these figures are to zero the better as it
indicates the motorcycle has adapted to its current operating conditions.
The term 'range' indicates how much (in percentage terms) of the adjustment range has been used to reach the current operating status.

Typical Values

In a correctly adapted motorcycle, the following will be typical:

Function Examined Read Out Range/Status Description

Closed throttle position reference status Adapted N/A

Twist grip adapted Adapted N/A

Idle speed control adaption status Between +100 and -100% N/A

Oxygen sensor 1 adaption status (off idle) 0% +/- 10% Status off idle

Oxygen sensor 1 adaption range (off idle) Between +100 and -100% Range off idle

Oxygen sensor 1 adaption status (idle) 0% +/- 10% Status idle

Oxygen sensor 1 adaption range (idle) Between +100 and -100% Range idle

Oxygen sensor 2 adaption status (off idle) 0% +/- 10% Status off idle

Oxygen sensor 2 adaption range (off idle) Between +100 and -100% Range off idle

Oxygen sensor 2 adaption status (idle) 0% +/- 10% Status idle

Oxygen sensor 2 adaption range (idle) Between +100 and -100% Range idle

Forcing Adaption to Take Place

If the read out indicates that the motorcycle is not adapted, the following will force the system to make adaptions:

WARNING

Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short
time. Always operate the motorcycle in the open-air or in an area with adequate ventilation.

Note
Resetting adaptions with the motorcycle connected to an exhaust extraction system may cause incorrect values to be set, causing poor engine running.
Always reset the adaptions with the engine disconnected from any exhaust extraction system whilst ensuring the motorcycle is positioned in a well ventilated
area.
1. Ensure the engine is cold.
2. WITHOUT TOUCHING THE THROTTLE, start the engine and allow it to warm up until the cooling fan comes on.
3. Turn the ignition OFF for at least 60 seconds to allow the adaption settings to be stored in ECM memory.

Resetting the Adaptions

A reset engine adaptions facility is provided in the diagnostic tool. This function can be used to:
Force fast fuelling and throttle adaption.
Reset (erase) current adaptions.
Fast Fuelling and Throttle Adaption
To force the fuelling and throttle system to quickly adapt to the current operating conditions:
1. Connect the diagnostic tool and turn the ignition ON.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 193 of 527


2. Start the engine.
3. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature (90°C for liquid cooled models, 60°C for air cooled models).
4. Make sure the system is in closed loop control mode.
5. Navigate to Engine Diagnostics - Adjust.
6. Select 'RESET ENGINE ADAPTIONS' and click 'ADJUST'.
Note
This will force a fast adaption routine to take place in around five seconds. For this to happen, the engine MUST be running, it must be at normal operating
temperature and in closed loop control mode. Under any other conditions fast adaption will not take place and the current adaption settings may be erased as
described below.
Reset (Erase) Current Adaptions
To reset the currently stored adaptions:
1. Connect the diagnostic tool and turn the ignition ON. Do NOT start the engine.
2. Navigate to Engine Diagnostics - Adjust.
3. Select 'RESET ENGINE ADAPTIONS' and click 'ADJUST'.
The following adaptions will be reset:
Fuelling
Throttle
Twist Grip
Crankshaft Position (Euro 5 Motorcycles in Applicable Markets Only)
Note
The following adaptions will not be reset:
- Neutral Position
- Gear Position
- Shift Force Sensor (TSA)
To Re-Adapt
1. Connect the diagnostic tool and turn the ignition ON.
2. Start the engine.
3. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature (90°C for liquid cooled models, 60°C for air cooled models).
4. Adapt the crankshaft position (Euro 5 Motorcycles in Applicable Markets Only).
5. If applicable, perform a cruise control switch check as described in the Service Manual.

Fault Indications

If 'range' figures at 100% are seen, then the adjustment has reached maximum indicating a mechanical fault exists on the motorcycle. This can be due to a number of faults but
possible causes will be incorrect fuel pressure, incorrectly connected oxygen sensors, faulty injectors or air leaks at the throttle bodies or airbox.
In these circumstances, locate and rectify the fault, and reset the adaptions as described above.

Engine Management System Description

These models are fitted with an electronic engine management system which encompasses control of both ignition and fuel delivery. The engine Electronic Control Module
(ECM) is electronically paired to the immobiliser/TPMS control module to help prevent theft of the motorcycle (see Immobiliser System Description). The engine ECM draws
information from sensors positioned around the engine, cooling and air intake systems and precisely calculates ignition advance and fuelling requirements for all engine speeds
and loads.
In addition, the system has an on-board diagnostic function. For additional information, see System Diagnostics.

Engine Management System Sensors

Intake air temperature sensor - situated in the top of the airbox. As the density of the air (and therefore the amount of oxygen available to ignite the fuel) changes with
temperature, an intake air temperature sensor is fitted. Changes in air temperature (and therefore air density) are compensated for by adjusting the amount of fuel injected
to a level consistent with clean combustion and low emissions.
Ambient air pressure sensor - situated below the battery. The ambient air pressure sensor measures atmospheric air pressure. With this information, the amount of fuel
injected is adjusted to suit the prevailing conditions.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor - situated to the front of the airbox, connected to each of the three throttle bodies by equal length tubes. The MAP sensor
provides information to the engine ECM which is used at very small throttle openings to provide accurate engine load indications to the engine ECM. This degree of engine
load accuracy allows the engine ECM to make very small adjustments to fuel and ignition which would otherwise not be possible from throttle angle data alone.
Clutch switch - situated on the clutch lever. The clutch must be pulled in for the starter motor to operate. With the cruise control on and active, the operation of the clutch
will cancel cruise control.
Crankshaft position sensor - situated in the alternator cover. The crankshaft position sensor detects movement of teeth attached to the alternator rotor. The toothed rotor
gives a reference point from which the actual crankshaft position is calculated. The crankshaft position sensor information is used by the engine ECM to determine engine
speed and crankshaft position in relation to the point where fuel is injected and ignition of the fuel occurs.
Engine coolant temperature sensor - situated at the rear of the cylinder head. Coolant temperature information, received by the engine ECM, is used to optimise fuelling
at all engine temperatures and to calculate hot and cold start fuelling requirements.
Throttle position sensors 1 and 2 - the two sensors are located in the same housing which is situated at the right hand end of the throttle body. Used to relay throttle
position information back to the engine ECM.
Twist grip position sensors 1 and 2 - the two sensors are located in the same housing which is situated in the right hand switch housing. The twist position sensor is used
to relay twist grip position information to the engine ECM. The engine ECM uses this information to drive the throttle actuator motor to the correct position.
Oxygen sensor - situated in the exhaust header pipe system upstream of the catalyst. The oxygen sensor constantly feeds information to the engine ECM on the content
of the exhaust gases. Based on this information, adjustments to the air/fuel ratio are made.
Side stand switch - situated at the top of the side stand leg. If the side stand is in the down position, the engine will not run unless the transmission is in neutral.
Gear position sensor - situated in the upper crankcase, behind the front sprocket cover, on the left hand side of the engine. The gear position sensor provides the engine
ECM with selected gear information. This is used to prevent the engine from starting if the transmission is in gear. The sensor also provides information to the gear position
indicator and the neutral lamp in the instruments.
Fall detection switch (where fitted) - situated on the frame crossmember behind the airbox. The fall detection switch will detect if the motorcycle is on its side and will cut
power to the engine ECM immediately. This prevents the engine from running and the fuel pump from delivering fuel. In the event of a fall, the switch is reset by returning
the bike to an upright position and switching the ignition off then back on again.
Brake switches - situated at the front brake lever and in a manifold in the pipework from the rear master cylinder. With cruise control on and active, the operation of the
front or rear brakes will cancel cruise control.
Rear ABS wheel speed sensor - situated on the rear brake caliper carrier. The rear ABS wheel speed sensor provides the engine ECM with data from which road speed is
calculated and displayed on the speedometer.
Shift Force Sensor (Triumph Shift Assist) - situated on the gear change linkage. The shift force sensor adjusts the engine torque to allow gears to engage, without
closure of the throttle twist grip or operation of the clutch. This feature works for both up shifts and down shifts of gear. The clutch must be used for stopping and pulling
away.

Engine Management System Actuators

In response to signals received from the sensors, the engine ECM controls and directs messages to a series of electronic and electromechanical actuators. The function and
location of the actuators is given below.
Throttle actuator motor - situated on the front of the throttle bodies. The throttle actuator motor opens and closes the throttle plates in the throttle bodies, in response to
commands from the ECM. The throttle actuator motor is an integral part of the throttle bodies.
Canister purge valve (certain markets only) - situated in the vapour return line between the carbon canister and the throttle bodies. The purge valve controls the return of
vapour which has been stored in the carbon canister during the period when the engine is switched off. The valve is pulsed by the engine ECM to give control over the rate
at which the canister is purged.
Fuel injectors - located on the throttle body. The engine is fitted with three fuel injectors. The spray pattern of the injector is fixed but the length of time each injector can
remain open is variable according to operating conditions. The duration of each injection is calculated by the engine ECM using data received from the various sensors in
the system.
Ignition coils - plug-top coils are located in the camshaft cover. There are three coils fitted, one for each spark plug. The engine ECM controls the point at which the coils
are switched on and off. In calculating the switch-on time, the engine ECM allows sufficient time for the coils to charge to a level where a spark can be produced. The coils
are switched off at the point of ignition, the timing of which is optimised for good engine performance.
Engine Management System (EMS) main relay - situated behind the battery. When the ignition is switched on, the EMS main relay is powered up to provide a stable
Voltage supply for the engine ECM. When the ignition is turned off, the engine ECM carries out a power down sequence during which the EMS main relay remains powered
by the engine ECM for 1 minute. The engine ECM power down sequence includes: writing the adaption data to engine ECM memory and referencing the position of the
throttle stepper motor.
Fuel pump - located inside the fuel tank. The electric pump delivers fuel into the fuel system, via a pressure regulator, at a constant 3.5 bar pressure. The pump is run
continuously when the engine is operating and is also run briefly when the ignition is first switched on to ensure that full pressure is available to the system as soon as the
engine is cranked. Fuel pressure is controlled by a regulator also situated inside the fuel tank.
Cooling fans - located behind the radiators. The engine ECM controls switching on and off of the cooling fans in response to a signal received from the coolant
temperature sensor. When the coolant temperature rises to a level where the cooling effect of natural airflow is insufficient, the cooling fans are turned on by the engine

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 195 of 527


ECM. When the coolant temperature falls sufficiently, the engine ECM turns the cooling fans off. The fans only becomes operational when the engine is running. It will not
operate at any other time.
Secondary air injection solenoid - located above the camshaft cover. The secondary air injection solenoid controls airflow through the secondary air injection system.
Note
In this system, the starter lockout system (clutch switch, gear position sensor, side stand switch) all operate through the engine ECM.

Secondary Air Injection

System Purpose and Operation

B00605

The secondary air injection system is an aid to reducing levels of pollutants in the exhaust gases. It does this by introducing a small amount of air into each exhaust port as the
exhaust valve opens. The introduced air helps promote further combustion of the fuel mixture in the exhaust system after it has left the combustion chamber.
At certain specific engine speeds (determined by the factory programming of engine management system), the secondary air injection control valve is opened by the ECM and
allows an air feed into the secondary air system where, each time a pair of exhaust valves open, the exhaust gases in the exhaust port create a depression which causes reed
valves in the secondary air injection system to open. When open, the depression in the exhaust port draws air from the control valve, through the open reed valves, into the
exhaust port. This air promotes secondary combustion of the exhaust gases in the ports and the exhaust header system.
At other engine speeds, the system is disabled by closing the control valve in the system. This allows an oxygen sensor to control air to fuel ratios.

Evaporative System Components

Evaporative Emissions Control System

All models are fitted with a system to control the evaporation of fuel vapour to the atmosphere.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 230 of 527


A carbon filled canister absorbs vapour while the engine is not running. When the engine is started, the vapour is returned to the engine and burnt.
There are two distinct phases to the system's operation, engine off and engine running. These two conditions are explained overleaf.

Evaporative Emissions Control System Component Locations

Carbon Filled Canister (2) - under the fuel tank at the left side.
Purge Control Valve (3) - attached to the frame under the fuel tank (electronically controlled by the engine ECM).

1. Breather hoses
2. Carbon filled canister
3. Purge valve
4. Purge hose to throttle bodies
5. Fuel tank filler drain

Evaporative Emissions Control System - Engine Off

When the engine is stationary any pressure increase in the fuel tank due to a rise in ambient temperature will cause the fuel vapour to pass down the breather hose (1) to a
carbon filled canister (2) which stores the vapour.
Once in the canister, vapour cannot enter the engine because the purge valve is closed.

1. Breather hoses
2. Carbon filled canister

5. Fuel tank filler drain

Evaporative Emissions Control System - Engine Running

When the engine is running, engine vacuum is applied to the purge hose (4) from the throttle bodies.
At certain times, the engine ECM opens the purge valve. The vacuum applied to the purge hose (4) now begins to draw stored vapour from the carbon filled area of the canister
and returns it to the throttle bodies for burning in the engine.
In order to control the speed at which vapour is purged from the canister, the engine management system shuttles the purge control valve between open and closed positions.

Exploded View - Cooling System

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 236 of 527


Coolant

A year-round, Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (known as Hybrid OAT or HOAT) coolant is installed in the cooling system when the motorcycle leaves the factory. It is coloured
green, contains a 50% solution of ethylene glycol based antifreeze, and has a freezing point of -35°C (-31°F).
Always change the coolant at the intervals specified in the Scheduled Maintenance chart.

WARNING

The standard coolant mixture contains toxic chemicals that are harmful to the human body. Never swallow neat antifreeze or any of the coolant mixture.

CAUTION

The antifreeze incorporated in the coolant mixture contains a corrosion inhibitor that helps prevent damage to the cooling system and engine. Without this inhibitor, the
coolant would 'attack' the metals and the resulting corrosion would cause blockages in the cooling system leading to engine overheating and damage.
Always use the antifreeze listed in the Specification section and never use a methanol based antifreeze as this does not contain the required corrosion inhibition properties.

CAUTION

If hard water is used in the cooling system, it will cause scale accumulation in the engine and radiator and considerably reduce the efficiency of the cooling system. Reduced
cooling system efficiency may cause the engine to overheat and suffer severe damage.

Note
HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as supplied by Triumph, is premixed and does not need to be diluted prior to filling or topping up the cooling system.

Coolant Replacement - Drainage

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.

WARNING

Do not remove the expansion tank or coolant pressure cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant inside the cooling system will be hot and may also
be under pressure. Contact with hot coolant will cause scalds and skin damage.

CAUTION

Do not remove the coolant pressure cap if the expansion tank contains coolant.
If you remove the coolant pressure cap, the coolant in the expansion tank will be released and can spill over the motorcycle.

Note
Prior to disassembly of the coolant hoses, note the orientation and position of the hose clips to help make sure that they are returned to the same positions
and orientation on assembly.
Use T3880207 - Hose Clip Pliers for removal and installation of the coolant hose constant tension hose clips.

Braking System Maintenance and Safety

Braking System Maintenance Safety Precautions

WARNING

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air. The absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid causing a reduction
in braking efficiency.
Replace brake fluid in line with the scheduled maintenance chart. A dangerous riding condition could result if this important maintenance item is neglected.
Do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork as this will damage any painted or plastic surface.
Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container and never use fluid from an unsealed container or from one which has been previously opened.
Do not mix different brands of fluid. Check for fluid leakage around brake fittings, seals and joints.
Check regularly for brake hose damage.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE ABOVE WARNINGS MAY REDUCE BRAKING EFFICIENCY LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT.

WARNING

If there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the fluid in either brake fluid reservoir, consult your authorised Triumph dealer for advice before riding.
If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel becomes excessive, there may be air in the brake lines or the brake may be defective.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such conditions and remedial action must be taken by your authorised Triumph dealer before riding the motorcycle. Failure
to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 278 of 527


WARNING

Use only DOT 4 specification brake fluid as listed in the General Information section of this manual. The use of brake fluids other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in the
General Information section may reduce the efficiency of the braking system leading to an accident.
Failure to change the brake fluid at the interval specified in the scheduled maintenance chart may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.

WARNING

Never use mineral based grease (such as lithium or copper based grease) in any area where contact with the braking system hydraulic seals and dust seals is possible.
Mineral based grease will damage the hydraulic seals and dust seals in the calipers and master cylinders. Damage caused by contact with mineral based grease may
reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

A magnetised brake disc and/or a magnetised ABS pulser ring may cause problems with the ABS sensor which will illuminate the ABS warning light and disable the ABS.
To prevent these parts becoming magnetised, we strongly recommend that magnets, and items that contain magnets, must not be stored near or placed on brake discs or
ABS pulser rings.
This includes parts fitted to motorcycles, parts removed during motorcycle service and new parts in dealer stores.
Examples of items that may contain magnets, are listed below:
∙Alternator rotor
∙Magnetic fuel tank bags
∙Audio speakers
∙Magnetic dial test indicator stand
∙Magnetic parts tray.
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS braking system. Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the indicator
light illuminated. Ride with extreme caution when performing diagnostic troubleshooting on a non-functioning ABS system. In this situation braking too hard will cause the
wheels to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Brake Pads Wear

Front and rear brake pad wear is automatically compensated for and has no effect on brake lever or pedal action.

Front Brake Discs - Wear

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.

Breaking-in New Brake Pads and Discs

After replacement brake discs and/or pads have been fitted to the motorcycle, we recommend a period of careful breaking-in that will optimise the performance and longevity of
the discs and pads. The recommended distance for breaking in new pads and discs is 200 miles (300 km).
After fitting new brake discs and/or pads avoid extreme braking, ride with caution and allow for greater braking distances during the breaking-in period.

Bleeding the Front Brakes

Brake Fluid Replacement - Routine Maintenance

Braking performance reduces as brake fluid ages, Repeated stops cause brake fluid to heat and cool rapidly reducing braking performance.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over a period of time and becomes contaminated as it ages.
Therefore brake fluid should be replaced at specified intervals as instructed in the routine maintenance schedule, see Brake Fluid - Renew.

Brake Bleeding

When removing or replacing brake components and the brake line is opened air will enter as fluid escapes.
If the brake bleed procedure is not carried out air can become trapped in the brake fluid.
A consequence of air being trapped in the brake system is that the brake can feel soft/spongy and the performance of the brakes will be reduced.

WARNING

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air.
Only use new DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container, do not mix different brands of brake fluid and never use brake fluid from an unsealed container or from one that
has been previously opened.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid.
Moisture in the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Do not allow dirt or debris to enter the braking system when adding brake fluid to the brake fluid reservoir.
Always maintain absolute cleanliness as this will adversely affect the brake fluid's properties.
Contaminated brake fluid may cause a reduction in brake performance leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

During bleeding, do not allow the brake fluid level to fall below the lower level mark in the reservoir.
If the fluid level is allowed to fall below this mark, air may enter the system and the sequence of bleeding must be repeated.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 280 of 527


WARNING
Trapped air in the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Check for fluid leakage around brake fittings, seals and joints.
Leaks around fittings and joints may allow air to enter the brake system.
Air entering the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to maintain brake fluid pressure by securing the brake lever to the handlebar or the brake pedal using a band or strap.
Banding or strapping the brake lever or pedal may deform the piston seals in the caliper.
Lever or pedal travel that is increased or reduced may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork.
Close the brake reservoir and wash any spilled brake fluid immediately with warm soapy water.
Spilled brake fluid, if left, will damage painted and plastic surfaces.

CAUTION

Pressure applied to the brake lever or caliper pistons during the bleeding process must be applied and removed smoothly and slowly.
It must take a minimum of five seconds between lever positions (from fully released to stop).
Failure to follow these instructions can allow air to be drawn in to the system through the bleed screw threads.

Note
An additional technician is required to monitor the fluid level and operate the brake lever or pedal when bleeding the brakes.
The bleed screws should only be opened by a small angle, just enough to allow system pressure to drop. When pulling the brake lever or pushing the caliper
pistons in, some resistance should be felt indicating that the screw is not opened too much.
The following table indicates the procedure to follow when carrying out repairs or replacement of the following brake components.

Master Cylinder Back Bleed

CAUTION

When disconnecting the brake hose from the master cylinder it is necessary to keep the open end of the hose above the handlebars.
Allowing the brake hose to fall below the handlebar height will allow an excessive amount of air to enter into the brake system.
Trapped air may cause the brake lever to feel spongy and contribute to reduced braking efficiency.

Note
When back bleeding the master cylinder it is only necessary to remove one brake caliper.
1. Remove the caliper mounting fixings and slide the caliper off the disc.

WARNING

Make sure no damage is made to the brake pad material when moving the brake pads.
Allowing the brake pads to come into contact with each other or sharp objects may cause the material to crack or break.
Damage to the brake pads may result in reduced braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

5. Using a suitable flat metal plate approximately 2 mm thick and 30 to 50 mm wide (for example a gasket scraper) between the brake pads, pump the front brake lever slowly
until the plate is held by the brake pads. Do not allow the pistons to fall out.
6. Pump the brake lever slowly to pump the caliper pistons out to allow a reasonable amount of travel. Do not allow the pistons to fall out.
7. Depress the brake lever to the handlebar. This will make sure that the reservoir port is closed and brake fluid flows to the bleed screw and not the reservoir.
8. Being careful not to damage the brake pad material, use the metal plate against the brake pads to push the caliper pistons in evenly and apply pressure to the system.
Note
The master cylinder bleed screw should only be opened by a small angle, just enough to allow system pressure to drop. When pulling the brake lever or
pushing the caliper pistons in, some resistance should be felt indicating that the screw is not opened too much.

WARNING

During bleeding, do not allow the brake fluid level to fall below the lower level mark in the reservoir.
If the fluid level is allowed to fall below this mark, air may enter the system and the sequence of bleeding must be repeated.
Trapped air in the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

9. Open the master cylinder bleed screw slightly to let fluid flow but still feel resistance to pushing the caliper pistons in.
10. With pressure still applied in the caliper, close the bleed screw.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 until no more air appears in the bleed tube.

Bleeding the Rear Brakes

Brake Light Switches

Brake Fluid Replacement - Routine Maintenance

Braking performance reduces as brake fluid ages, Repeated stops cause brake fluid to heat and cool rapidly reducing braking performance.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over a period of time and becomes contaminated as it ages.
Therefore brake fluid should be replaced at specified intervals as instructed in the routine maintenance schedule, see Brake Fluid - Renew.

Brake Bleeding

When removing or replacing brake components and the brake line is opened air will enter as fluid escapes.
If the brake bleed procedure is not carried out air can become trapped in the brake fluid.
A consequence of air being trapped in the brake system is that the brake can feel soft/spongy and the performance of the brakes will be reduced.

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

WARNING

Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air.
Only use new DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container, do not mix different brands of brake fluid and never use brake fluid from an unsealed container or from one that
has been previously opened.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid.
Moisture in the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Do not allow dirt or debris to enter the braking system when adding brake fluid to the brake fluid reservoir.
Always maintain absolute cleanliness as this will adversely affect the brake fluid's properties.
Contaminated brake fluid may cause a reduction in brake performance leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 285 of 527


WARNING

During bleeding, do not allow the brake fluid level to fall below the lower level mark in the reservoir.
If the fluid level is allowed to fall below this mark, air may enter the system and the sequence of bleeding must be repeated.
Trapped air in the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Check for fluid leakage around brake fittings, seals and joints.
Leaks around fittings and joints may allow air to enter the brake system.
Air entering the braking system may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to maintain brake fluid pressure by securing the brake lever to the handlebar or the brake pedal using a band or strap.
Banding or strapping the brake lever or pedal may deform the piston seals in the caliper.
Lever or pedal travel that is increased or reduced may a cause a reduction in braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork.
Close the brake reservoir and wash any spilled brake fluid immediately with warm soapy water.
Spilled brake fluid, if left, will damage painted and plastic surfaces.

CAUTION

Pressure applied to the brake lever or caliper pistons during the bleeding process must be applied and removed smoothly and slowly.
It must take a minimum of five seconds between lever positions (from fully released to stop).
Failure to follow these instructions can allow air to be drawn in to the system through the bleed screw threads.

Note
An additional technician is required to monitor the fluid level and operate the brake lever or pedal when bleeding the brakes.
The bleed screws should only be opened by a small angle, just enough to allow system pressure to drop. When pulling the brake lever or pushing the caliper
pistons in, some resistance should be felt indicating that the screw is not opened too much.

Note
Always renew the brake fluid at the interval specified in the routine maintenance schedule.
The following table indicates the procedure to follow when carrying out repairs or replacement of the following brake components.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Management

ABS System Description

This model is fitted with an electronic anti-lock brake system (ABS) which is designed to prevent the wheels from locking or skidding by reducing braking effort to the front or
rear brake caliper when wheel-lock is detected.
The system consists of a hydraulic modulator and ECM assembly mounted to a bracket located on the frame, under the front of the fuel tank, a front wheel speed sensor
mounted to the front fork, and a rear wheel speed sensor mounted to the rear brake caliper carrier.
Both front and rear wheels have a pulser ring. The front pulser ring is mounted onto the front left brake disc, and the rear mounted to the rear brake disc.
The front and rear master cylinders are connected via lines to the modulator and from the modulator the pipes connect to the brake calipers.
The front and rear brake circuits operate as separate systems. The front and rear brakes are not connected in any way inside the modulator.
The modulator ECM continuously calculates the front and rear wheel speeds, and from these inputs the ECM calculates the estimated motorcycle speed, wheel
deceleration/acceleration, the wheel speed difference and the wheel slip (skid) rate. This is calculated by comparing the calculated wheel speeds with the calculated vehicle
speed, so that if one wheel speed deviates significantly from the other two readings, this wheel is determined to be skidding.
Under braking, if the modulator detects that either wheel is about to slip, due to the brake force exceeding the available traction between the tyre and road surface (the wheel
will begin to slip or skid), the ECM very rapidly releases and re-applies the brake pressure to prevent the wheel from skidding.
This is felt through the brake pedal or lever as a rapid pulsing.
If the rider reduces braking effort, or traction increases (so that traction exceeds braking force, the wheel will rotate once more) the wheel will no longer lock up. The ABS
system will detect this and stop controlling brake pressure, and return to its monitoring state.
The system has a self diagnostic function built-in which monitors the fail safe relay, solenoid valves, motor relay, wheel speed sensors, power supply and ground, as well as
internal ECM functions. In the event of a malfunction being detected, the ECM will illuminate the ABS warning light, and store a diagnostic trouble code in the system memory.
This stored data can then be recovered using a special service tool which is mandatory for all Triumph dealers. In this way, precise diagnosis of a fault can be made and the
fault quickly rectified.
Under normal operation, the ABS warning light will flash on and off after ignition on until the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). If a trouble code is stored the ABS
warning light will stay illuminated and the ABS will not function, however the brakes will operate normally. If the ABS warning light does not extinguish, or illuminates whilst the
motorcycle is being ridden, refer to the ABS system diagnostics (see System Diagnostics).

System Diagnostics

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 291 of 527


The ABS system has an on-board diagnostics feature which allows service technicians to retrieve stored data from the ECM using Triumph diagnostic software. Full details of
the Triumph diagnostic software operation and how to interpret the results are given in the Triumph Diagnostic Tool User Guide.
The software is connected, via an interface cable, to the motorcycle using a dedicated diagnostic plug situated beneath the seat. By using a dedicated plug, no electrical
connectors associated with the system are disturbed, reducing potential connector damage.
The software allows the user to retrieve data associated with the system sensors and actuators, test various component functions, read build data and make minor adjustments
to the set-up of the system. The data and tests available are described on the following pages.

Triumph Diagnostic Tool

Described on the following pages is the range of information which can be retrieved from the ABS modulator's memory and the adjustments, which can be performed using the
Triumph diagnostic software.
The tables indicate which tests are performed by the on-board system and what information can be retrieved by the Triumph diagnostic software.
Note
Full details of how to operate the software can be found in the Triumph Diagnostic Tool User Guide, which can be downloaded by authorised Triumph dealers
from www.triumphonline.net.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Dependent on the DTC stored, the ABS ECM will act in one of two ways:
Inhibit ABS operation immediately, irrespective of the ABS operating mode
or
Allow the ABS operation to complete before inhibiting the ABS.
Once the ABS ECM has inhibited ABS function, the ECM will act in one of three ways:
Allow the ABS to resume operation if the fault clears
or
Allow ABS operation after an ignition cycle if the fault clears
or
Inhibit the ABS function until the fault is rectified and the DTC erased.
The ABS system will act on the DTC stored according to the tables on the following pages:

ABS Electrical Connectors

Before beginning any diagnosis, the following connector related information should be noted:
Note
A major cause of hidden electrical faults can be traced to faulty electrical connectors.
For example:
Dirty/corroded terminals
Damp terminals
Broken or bent cable pins within multiplugs.
For example, the ABS electronic control module (ABS ECM) relies on the supply of accurate information to enable it to monitor and control the brake system. One dirty terminal
will cause an excessive voltage drop resulting in an incorrect signal to the ECM.
If, when carrying out fault diagnosis, a fault appears to clear by simply disconnecting and reconnecting an electrical plug, examine each disconnected plug for the following.

Before Disconnection:

If testing with a voltmeter, the voltage across a connector battery supply and ground pins should be virtually battery volts with a small deviation allowable for usual voltage
drop within wiring circuits. If there is a noticeable change, suspect faulty/dirty connections. Refer to the ABS circuit diagram within this Service Manual for pin numbers.

When Disconnecting a Connector:

Check for a security device that must be released before the connector can be separated e.g. barb, hook and eye etc.

When Inspecting a Connector:

Check that the individual pins have not been bent.


Check for dampness/dirt/corrosion.
Check cables for security.
Check cable pin joints for damage.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 294 of 527


When Connecting a Connector:

Ensure there is no dirt around the connector/seal.


Push together squarely to ensure terminals are not bent or incorrectly located.
Push the two halves together positively.

Disconnection of ABS ECM Connector

CAUTION

When disconnecting a connector, never pull directly on the wires as this may result in cable and connector damage.

CAUTION

Never disconnect the ABS ECM when the ignition switch is in the ON position as this may cause multiple fault codes to be logged in the ECM memory.
Always disconnect an ECM after disconnecting the battery negative (black) lead first.

1. Press the locking device and move the lever to the rear of the connector while disconnecting it from the ABS ECM.
2. When disconnected, ensure the lever is fully to the rear of the connector. An audible click can be heard when it is locked in position.

CAUTION

Damage to the connector pins may result if an attempt to fit the connectors incorrectly is made.

CAUTION

If the lever is not fully over to the rear position, it is possible that the connector may not fully engage into its socket.

Pinpoint Tests

Before starting pinpoint tests

1. Delete the stored DTCs.


2. Switch the ignition OFF and ON.

WARNING

If the ABS is not functioning, the brake system will continue to function as a non-ABS braking system. Do not continue to ride for longer than is necessary with the indicator
light illuminated. Ride with extreme caution when performing diagnostic troubleshooting on a non-functioning ABS system. In this situation braking too hard will cause the
wheels to lock resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

3. Ride the motorcycle at a road speed in excess of 30 km/h. If the DTC is repeated proceed to the relevant pinpoint test.
4. If the DTC is not repeated this indicates the DTC may have been stored due to external influences such as bad road surfaces or electrical interference.

After completion of the pinpoint tests

1. Delete the stored DTCs.


2. Switch the ignition OFF and ON.
3. Ride the motorcycle at a road speed in excess of 30 km/h. If the DTC is repeated proceed to the relevant pinpoint test.
4. If a DTC is stored there is a further fault. Read the stored DTC and refer to the relevant pinpoint test.

Removal and Installation - Front Brake Components

Front Brake Pads - Removal

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

WARNING

Do not allow a brake component to hang unsupported on the brake hose or line.
Brake hoses or lines that are not supported may become damaged or bent.
Bent or damaged brake hoses or lines lead to reduced braking efficiency causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

1. Remove the caliper mounting fixings and slide the caliper off the disc.

B00943_1

1. Caliper mounting fixings


2. Caliper

2. Release the brake pad retaining lugs from the slots in the caliper and remove the brake pad.
3. Repeat for the other brake pad.
Note
Note the position and orientation of the anti-rattle spring for installation.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 308 of 527


Note
Note that the arrow on the anti-rattle spring is pointing in the direction of forward rotation of the disc.

B00943_3

1. Arrow, anti-rattle spring


2. Front caliper

Note
Complete the installation of the brake pads to one caliper (see Front Brake Pads - Installation) before removing the pads from the other caliper.

Front Brake Pads - Inspection

1. Check the pad retainer and anti-rattle spring. Renew any component which shows signs of damage or corrosion.
2. Check that there is no sign of leakage from the caliper piston seals. Rectify any problems before installing the pads.
Note
Complete the assembly of the brake pads to one caliper (see assembly for details) before removing the pads from the other caliper.

Front Brake Pads - Installation

WARNING

Always have replacement brake pads supplied and fitted by your Triumph dealer.
The ABS calibration is optimised for use with the friction material provided on brake pads supplied by Triumph.
The use of proprietary brands of brake pads is not recommended as differing friction material specifications will affect the performance of the ABS, potentially causing loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Brake pads for this model supplied by Triumph are specifically designed for use with the brake calipers fitted to your motorcycle.
The use of proprietary brands of brake pads is not recommended as these may have a reduced carrier plate thickness when compared with the Triumph genuine parts.
Brake pads with an incorrect carrier plate thickness can potentially become dislodged from the caliper body as they wear, leading to brake failure, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.

WARNING

Never use mineral-based grease (such as lithium or copper based grease) in any area where contact with the braking system hydraulic seals and dust seals is possible.
Mineral-based grease will damage the hydraulic seals and dust seals in the calipers and master cylinders.
Damage caused by contact with mineral-based grease may reduce braking efficiency resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

Never lever directly against the disc, caliper or the pad lining material as this will damage these components. Always use a levering tool made from a soft material which will
not cause damage to the load bearing surfaces.
Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons are compressed. To prevent body damage, make sure that the displaced fluid does not come into contact with any part of
the bodywork.

1. If new pads are being installed, push the pistons fully back into the caliper body. Keep an eye on the fluid level in the reservoir whilst retracting the pistons to prevent fluid

The use of proprietary brands of brake pads is not recommended as these may have a reduced carrier plate thickness when compared with the Triumph genuine parts.
Brake pads with an incorrect carrier plate thickness can potentially become dislodged from the caliper body as they wear, leading to brake failure, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.

WARNING

Never use mineral-based grease (such as lithium or copper based grease) in any area where contact with the braking system hydraulic seals and dust seals is possible.
Mineral-based grease will damage the hydraulic seals and dust seals in the calipers and master cylinders.
Damage caused by contact with mineral-based grease may reduce braking efficiency resulting in loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork. Spilled brake fluid will damage paintwork.

1. If fitting new pads, use hand pressure to compress the caliper piston fully into its bore. Keep an eye on the fluid level in the reservoir whilst retracting the pistons to prevent
fluid spillage.
2. Fit the brake pads to the caliper in the positions noted during removal.

WARNING

Do not apply more than a minimum coating of grease to the pad retaining pins. Excess grease may contaminate the brake pads, hydraulic seals and discs causing reduced
braking efficiency and an accident.

3. Lubricate the pad retaining pin using a minimum amount of proprietary high temperature brake grease.
4. Install the brake pad retaining pin.
5. Install the R-clip to the brake pad retaining pin, as noted for removal.

6. Pump the brake pedal to correctly position the caliper pistons.
7. Check the brake fluid level in the rear reservoir and top-up as required with new DOT 4 fluid.

WARNING

Use only DOT 4 specification brake fluid as listed in the General Information section of this manual. The use of brake fluids other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in the
General Information section may reduce the efficiency of the braking system leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given earlier in this section of the manual.

8. Check for correct brake operation. Rectify as necessary.

WARNING

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with defective brakes; you must have your authorised Triumph dealer take remedial action before you attempt to ride the
motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Typical Tyre Marking

WARNING

Tyres that have been used on a rolling road dynamometer may become damaged. In some cases, the damage may not be visible on the external surface of the tyre.
Tyres must be replaced after such use as continued use of a damaged tyre may lead to instability, loss of control and an accident.

Important Tyre Information

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and extensively tested in a range of riding conditions to ensure that the most effective tyre combinations are approved for use on each
model. It is essential that approved tyre combinations are used when purchasing replacement tyres as the use of non-approved tyres or approved tyres in non-approved
combinations may lead to motorcycle instability. A list of approved tyres specific to this model is available from your authorised Triumph dealer, or on the internet at
www.triumph.co.uk.

WARNING

The ABS computer operates by comparing the relative speed of the front and rear wheels. Use of non-recommended tyres can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident in conditions where the ABS would normally function.

WARNING

Always check tyre pressures before riding when the tyres are cold. Operation with incorrectly inflated tyres may affect handling leading to loss of control and an accident.

WARNING

Operation with excessively worn or damaged tyres will adversely affect handling and control leading to loss of control or an accident.

WARNING

Inner tubes must only be used on motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels and with tyres marked 'TUBE-TYPE' unless marked otherwise.
Use of an inner tube with a tyre marked 'TUBELESS' without appropriate marking and/or on an alloy wheel can lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and extensively tested in a range of riding conditions to ensure that the most effective tyre combinations are approved for use on each
model. It is essential that approved tyre combinations are used when purchasing replacement tyres as the use of non-approved tyres or approved tyres in non-approved
combinations may lead to motorcycle instability. A list of approved tyres specific to this model is available from your authorised Triumph dealer, or on the internet at
www.triumph.co.uk.

WARNING

If a tyre or inner tube sustains a puncture, the tyre and inner tube must be replaced together. Failure to replace a punctured tyre and inner tube together, or operation with a
repaired tyre or inner tube can lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control or an accident.
If tyre or inner tube damage is suspected, such as after striking the kerb, ask your authorised Triumph dealer to inspect the tyre both internally and externally and to also
inspect the inner tube. Remember, tyre damage may not always be visible from the outside. Operation of the motorcycle with damaged tyres could lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 343 of 527


WARNING
When replacing a 'TUBE-TYPE' tyre on a spoked wheel, always inspect the rim tape (rim protection band) to ensure that it is correctly protecting the tube from the spoke
threads. A damaged rim tape may lead to rapid tyre deflation causing loss of control and an accident.

WARNING

Do not install tube-type tyres on tubeless rims. The bead will not seat and the tyres could slip on the rims, causing tyre deflation that may result in a loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Do not install an inner tube inside a tubeless tyre unless it is clearly marked on the side wall that you can do so. This may cause instability and excessive heat build-up may
cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of vehicle control and an accident.

WARNING

The use of tyres other than those listed at your authorised Triumph dealer, or on the internet, at www.triumph.co.uk, may adversely affect handling leading to loss of
motorcycle control or an accident. Use the recommended tyre options only in the combinations listed at your authorised Triumph dealer, or on the internet at
www.triumph.co.uk. Do not mix tyres from different manufacturers or tyres from the same manufacturer but from another option.

WARNING

Accurate wheel balance is important for safe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Do not remove or change any wheel balance weights. Incorrect wheel balance may cause
instability leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
When wheel balancing is required, such as after tyre replacement, see your authorised Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-on weights will damage the wheel and tyre potentially resulting in tyre deflation, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

When replacement tyres are required, consult your authorised Triumph dealer who will arrange for the tyres to be fitted according to the tyre manufacturer’s instructions.
When tyres are replaced, allow time for the tyre to seat itself to the rim (approximately 24 hours). During this seating period, ride cautiously as an incorrectly seated tyre
could cause loss of motorcycle control or an accident. Initially, the new tyre will not produce the same handling characteristics as the worn tyre and the rider must allow
adequate riding distance (approximately 100 miles/160 km) to become accustomed to the new handling characteristics.
After both 24 hours and 100 miles (160 km), the tyre pressures should be checked and adjusted and the tyre examined for correct seating and rectified as necessary.
Use of a motorcycle when not accustomed to its handling characteristics, with incorrect tyre pressures or an incorrectly seated tyre is dangerous and may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Tyre Wear/Wheel Inspection

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre becomes more susceptible to puncture and failure. It is estimated that 90% of all tyre failures occur during the last 10% of tread life (90%
worn). It is false economy and unsafe to use tyres until they are worn to their minimum.
All tyres are fitted with tread wear indicators. When the tyre becomes worn down as far as the top of a tread wear indicator, the tyre is worn beyond its service life and must be
replaced.

1. Tread wear indicator

Attention must also be paid to the legal limits for tread wear, which differ from country to country. Tyres that have worn to the legal limit in the country or region in which the
motorcycle is operated must be replaced, even if tread wear has not yet reached the level of the tread wear indicators.
In accordance with the scheduled maintenance chart, measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tyre that has worn to, or beyond the minimum
allowable tread depth.
Inspect wheels for cracks, splits and kerb damage. Always replace wheels that are suspected of having become damaged.

WARNING

Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction, stability and handling which may lead to loss of control and an accident.
When tubeless tyres, used without a tube, become punctured, leakage is often very slow. Always inspect tyres very closely for punctures. Check the tyres for cuts,
embedded nails or other sharp objects. Operation with punctured or damaged tyres will adversely affect motorcycle stability and handling which may lead to loss of control
or an accident.
Check the rims for dents or deformation. Operation with damaged or defective wheels or tyres is dangerous and loss of motorcycle control or an accident could result.
Always consult your authorised Triumph dealer for tyre replacement, or for a safety inspection of the tyres.

Tyre Pressures

Correct inflation pressure will provide maximum stability, rider comfort and tyre life.
Always check tyre pressures before riding when the tyres are cold. Check tyre pressures daily and adjust if necessary.
For details of the correct tyre inflation pressures refer to www.triumph.co.uk.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 344 of 527


WARNING

Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and instability problems which may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or coming off the rim. Over-inflation will cause instability and accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they may cause loss of control leading to an accident.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - (if fitted)

WARNING

Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and instability problems that may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Underinflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or coming off the rim. Overinflation will cause instability and accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they may cause loss of control leading to an accident.

WARNING

The tyre pressure monitoring system is not to be used as a tyre pressure gauge when adjusting the tyre pressures. For correct tyre pressures, always check the tyre
pressures when the tyres are cold and using an accurate tyre pressure gauge.
Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

CAUTION

Do not use anti puncture fluid or any other item likely to obstruct air flow to the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any blockage to the air pressure orifice of the TPMS sensor during
operation will cause the sensor to become blocked, causing irreparable damage to the TPMS sensor assembly. Damage caused by the use of anti puncture fluid or incorrect
maintenance is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty. Always have your tyres fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer and inform
them that tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the wheels.

Wheels fitted with a tyre pressure sensor can be identified with the letters TPMS on the side of the tyre valve and/or with a warning label near the tyre valve, as shown in the
illustration below.

T0907_1

1. TPMS on tyre valve


2. Warning label

Function

Tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the front and rear wheels. These sensors measure the air pressure inside the tyre and transmit pressure data to the instruments. These
sensors will not transmit the data until the motorcycle is travelling at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will be visible in the display area until the tyre
pressure signal is received.
When the battery voltage in a pressure sensor is low, BATTERY LOW FRONT/REAR TYRE will be displayed and a message will indicate which wheel sensor has the low
battery voltage. If the batteries are completely flat, only dashes will be shown in the display screen, the red TPMS warning light will be on and the TPMS symbol will flash
continuously.
The tyre pressure warning light works in conjunction with the tyre pressure monitoring system.
It will illuminate for the following conditions:
A tyre pressure sensor battery is completely flat.
The front and/or the rear tyre pressure drops to or below the pressures listed in the table below.

Tyre Pressure Monitor - Low Pressure Warning Light Activated

Front Tyre Pressure Rear Tyre Pressure

2.00 bar (29 lb/in²) 2.55 bar (37 lb/in²)

When the warning light is illuminated, the TPMS symbol will indicate which is the deflated tyre and its pressure will automatically be visible in the display area.

Minimum Recommended Tread Depth

In accordance with the periodic maintenance chart, measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tyre that has worn to, or beyond the minimum legally
allowable tread depth specified (see Wheels and Tyres C*7).

WARNING

Triumph motorcycles must not be operated above the legal road speed limit except in authorised closed-course conditions.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 345 of 527


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

1. Examine the wheel for any raised witness marks caused by the removal process. Remove any such marks with fine emery paper or a gentle file.

Rear Wheel Bearings - Installation

Note
Bearings are inserted by means of a draw bolt acting on the insertion tool. A support tool is located on the opposite side of the wheel to the insertion tool and
as the bolt is tightened, the bearing is drawn into the wheel.
Always fit a new bearing circlip and seals.
1. Assemble the wheel bearing to the side of the wheel with the circlip groove and the installation tools as noted in the diagram below.
2. Support the wheel and tighten the nut (3) drawing the bearing until it is fully located against the inner face of the wheel.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 358 of 527


Final Drive Chain

For safety and to prevent excessive wear, the drive chain must be checked, adjusted and lubricated in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements. Checking,
adjustment and lubrication must be carried out more frequently for extreme conditions such as salty or heavily gritted roads.
If the drive chain is badly worn or incorrectly adjusted (either too loose or too tight) the drive chain could jump off the sprockets or break.

WARNING

A drive chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could snag on the engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and causing an accident.
Never neglect chain maintenance.

Note
Lubrication of the drive chain should ideally be carried out with the motorcycle set up so that the rear wheel is free to rotate.
The drive chain must be adjusted with the motorcycle in an upright position, resting on its wheels, and with no additional weight on it.

Final Drive Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles (300 km) and also after riding in wet weather, on wet roads, or any time that the chain appears dry.
Use the special drive chain lubricant as recommended in the specification section.
Correct application is critical for drive chain lubrication. Apply the lubricant for one full drive chain revolution only, then leave for eight hours before riding. This allows the
lubricant’s solvent (used to thin the oil) to evaporate and the oil to 'soak' into all parts of the drive chain. If the lubricant is applied and the motorcycle is ridden shortly
afterwards, the lubricant is unlikely to reach all parts and the majority will be flung off and wasted. Applying excessive amounts is not helpful under any circumstances.
It should be noted that the lubricant is applied to the drive chain to lubricate its action across the sprockets. In an O-ring chain, external lubrication does not penetrate to the
bushes and rollers as the O-ring seals prevents this from happening.

CAUTION

Do not use a power jet washer to clean the chain as this may cause damage to the chain components.

Final Drive Chain and Sprocket Wear - Inspection

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 359 of 527

2. 10 - 20 kg weight

1. Remove the upper and lower chain guards from the swinging arm.
2. Stretch the drive chain taut by hanging a 10 - 20 kg (20 - 40 lb) weight on the chain.
3. Measure a length of 20 links on the straight part of the drive chain from pin centre of the 1st pin to pin centre of the 21st pin. Repeat the test at various sections of the chain
to establish an average reading. This is because the chain may wear unevenly.
4. If the length exceeds the service limit of 317 mm, the drive chain must be replaced.

WARNING

A drive chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could snag on the engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and causing loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

5. Examine the whole length of the drive chain. If there are any excessively tight or loose sections, loose pins or damaged rollers, the drive chain should be replaced.
6. Inspect sprockets for unevenly or excessively worn teeth. Also examine the sprockets for damaged teeth.

Note
Sprocket wear is exaggerated for illustration purposes.

WARNING

The use of non-approved chains may result in a broken chain or may cause the chain to jump off the sprockets.
Use a genuine Triumph supplied chain as specified in the Triumph Parts Catalogue.
Never neglect chain maintenance and always have chains installed by an authorised Triumph dealer.

7. If there is any irregularity found in any of the components, replace the drive chain and/or any other damaged components.
8. Refit the lower drive chain guard, tightening the fixings to 7 Nm.
9. Refit the upper drive chain guard, tightening the fixings to 9 Nm.

General Frame Inspection

Inspect the frame, bodywork and footrests for accident and other damage, cracks, splits and general dilapidation. Check all fixings for security. If any faults are found, rectify as
necessary. If any faults with the frame are found, the frame must be replaced; repairs to the frame are not permitted.

WARNING

The frame must not be modified in any way. Any modification to the frame, such as welding or drilling, may weaken the structure causing an unsafe riding condition leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

If the motorcycle is involved in an accident or collision it must be taken to an authorised Triumph dealer for inspection and repair before it is ridden again.

Models With a Side Stand Fitted

Check the operation of the side stand to make sure it is securely held in the retracted position by the spring. Rectify any faults.

WARNING

If the return spring is faulty, the side stand could extend whilst the motorcycle is being ridden. This will cause an unsafe riding condition, which could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Models With a Centre Stand Fitted

Check the operation of the centre stand to make sure it is securely held in the retracted position by the spring. Rectify any faults.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 401 of 527

Bank Angle Indicators - Removal and Installation

Inspection

WARNING

Always replace the bank angle indicators before they are worn to their maximum limit.
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle indicators worn beyond the maximum limit will allow the motorcycle to be banked to an unsafe angle.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause instability, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 408 of 527


1. Inspect the bank angle indicators on the rider's footrests for wear. Bank angle indicators must be replaced when they have worn down to the maximum wear limit. The
maximum wear limit is shown by a groove on the bank angle indicator.

2. Maximum wear limit groove

WARNING

The bank angle pegs must not be used as a guide to how far the motorcycle may be safely banked. This depends on many various conditions including, but not limited to,
road surface, tyre condition and weather. Banking to an unsafe angle will lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Replacement

WARNING

Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.


A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

1. Remove and discard the bank angle indicator from the front footrest
2. Fit the new bank angle indicator and tighten to 9 Nm.

Battery, Fuses and Relays

Battery

WARNING

Under some circumstances, the battery can give off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging or using the
battery in an enclosed space.
The battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield.
If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water immediately.
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
If electrolyte is swallowed, drink large quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP ELECTROLYTE OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

WARNING

The battery contains harmful materials. Always keep children away from the battery whether or not it is fitted in the motorcycle.
Do not attach jump leads to the battery, touch the battery cables together or reverse the polarity of the cables as any of these actions may cause a spark which would ignite
battery gases causing a risk of personal injury.

Battery Disposal

Should the battery ever require replacement, the original battery must be handed to a recycling agent who will ensure that the dangerous substances from which the battery is
manufactured do not pollute the environment.

Battery Maintenance

The battery is a sealed type and does not require any maintenance other than checking the voltage and routine recharging such as during storage.
It is not possible to adjust the electrolyte level in the battery.
Note
The charge level in the battery must be maintained to maximise the battery life.
With normal use of the motorcycle, the charging system will keep the battery charged. If the motorcycle is unused, the battery will gradually discharge due to battery self
discharge and the continuous current drain for the clock and the engine control module memory.
The rate of battery discharge can be greatly increased by the addition of electrical security systems or other accessories.
Allowing a battery to discharge, or leaving it discharged over a period of time, causes sulphation of the lead plates within the battery.
Sulphation is a normal chemical reaction inside the battery and over a period of time sulphate will crystallise on to the lead plates making charging difficult or impossible. The
result is a permanently damaged battery, which would not be covered by the motorcycle warranty.
Keeping a battery at full charge reduces the chance of it freezing in cold conditions. Allowing a battery to freeze can cause serious internal damage to the battery.
When leaving the motorcycle standing for more than a few days, regularly check the battery voltage using a digital multimeter. Should the battery voltage fall below 12.8 V,
charge the battery using the BatteryMate Battery Charger - see latest Parts Catalogue for part number information. Refer to the instructions supplied with the BatteryMate
Battery charger.
For extended periods of storage (beyond two weeks) the battery should be removed and the battery voltage checked regularly and charged when below 12.8 V.

Battery Already in Service

Note
Before carrying out the following procedure the battery must be disconnected and removed from the motorcycle.
Use the guidelines in the table below for charging. Always verify the battery condition before charging, and 30 minutes after charging.
Note
A fully charged battery should read 12.8 volts or higher after the battery has been off the charger for 30 minutes or more.

Fuse Box Location

If a fuse fails during operation, inspect the electrical system to determine the cause, and then replace it with a new fuse of the correct current rating.
A blown fuse is indicated when all of the systems protected by that fuse become inoperative. When checking for a blown fuse, see Fuse Identification to establish which fuse
has blown.
The riding modes allow the rider to adjust the throttle response (MAP), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control (TC) settings to suit differing road conditions and
rider preference.
Before disconnecting the battery or removing a fuse, note and record the rider’s settings. Once the fuse has been refitted or the battery reconnected the rider’s settings should
be reset as noted.

WARNING

If the battery has been disconnected or the fuses removed for any reason advise the rider to confirm the original mode settings have been correctly set. Failure to reset the
motorcycle to the rider’s preferred rider mode settings and subsequently being ridden may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

WARNING

Always replace blown fuses with new ones of the correct current rating (as specified on the fuse box cover) and never use a fuse of higher rating.
Use of an incorrect fuse could lead to an electrical problem, resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Fuse Box Locations

The fuse boxes are located beneath the rider's seat. To allow access to the fuse boxes, the passenger seat and then the rider's seat must be removed (see Passenger Seat -
Removal/Installation and Rider's Seat - Removal/Installation).

Chassis Electronic Control Module (Chassis ECM)

Many of the motorcycle’s electrical systems (such as lighting, horn, cooling fans, fuel pump, and accessories such as heated grips or seats) are controlled by the chassis
Electronic Control Module (chassis ECM).
The chassis ECM provides a primary level of protection to the electrical systems it controls. If a fault is detected, the chassis ECM will automatically cut power to the affected
system.

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 432 of 527


The chassis ECM can be reset by turning the Ignition off then on again. Power will be restored to the inoperative system, providing that the condition that caused the fault has
been rectified.
The systems controlled by the chassis ECM are also provided with a secondary level of protection, by fuses 1 to 9 in the main fuse box (see Fuse Identification). A blown fuse
is likely when all of the systems protected by that fuse become inoperative.
Refer to the following table for full details of the chassis ECM controlled systems, and their corresponding fuses.

WARNING

Always replace blown fuses with new ones of the correct rating (as specified on the fuse box cover) and never use a fuse of higher rating. Use of an incorrect fuse could
lead to an electrical problem, resulting in motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

If after resetting the automatic software protection system or replacing a blown fuse, a fault still persists, investigate the cause and take remedial action as necessary.

Relay

WARNING

This model is equipped with an Engine Management System (EMS) relay only.
The starter, fuel pump, cooling fans, lighting and accessory systems are all controlled by the chassis ECM.

To gain access to the relay, remove the rider’s seat (see Rider's Seat - Removal/Installation).

Relay Identification

1. Engine management system (EMS) main relay

Diagnostics - Starter and Charging Circuits

Starting Circuit

All Triumph models are equipped with an electric start system. This system consists of a starter relay, starter motor, starter switch, side stand switch, engine stop switch, clutch
switch and the sprag clutch. The starter motor is connected to the starter relay and the battery by heavy duty cables in order to supply the large currents required by the motor
to start the engine. When the starter button is pressed, the relay is energised, which then allows current to the starter motor. The starter motor will not operate unless the clutch
lever is pulled in. Also, the starter will not operate if the side stand is down, unless the transmission is in neutral. If the starter motor does not operate, the following basic checks
must be carried out before further diagnosis is performed:
Check the engine stop switch is in the 'RUN' position.
Check the battery terminals are clean and tight.
Check the frame and engine ground connections are clean, tight and free from corrosion.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and in good condition.
Check that any fuse in the circuit is not blown and is of the correct rating.
Using the Triumph Diagnostic Tool, check the operation of the neutral switch or gear position sensor (if fitted), side stand and clutch switches.
Note
The engine will not crank if the instruments, ABS ECM, or immobiliser/keyless ECM (if fitted)/chassis ECM (if fitted) are disconnected.
Rectify any defects as necessary.

Alternator/Charging System

The charging system consists of an alternator, a rectifier/regulator assembly and the battery. The alternator is made up of two parts, the stator, which is mounted to the
crankcase or the engine cover, and the rotor, mounted to the end of the crankshaft. The stator is an assembly of 18 coils, arranged into 3 phases. The rotor is a series of
magnets mounted in the engine flywheel, which are arranged so as to be positioned around the outside of the stator coils. As the engine rotates the alternator produces an AC
(alternating current) voltage in each of the three phases of the alternator, typically of around 35 to 40 volts AC at 4,000 - 5,000 rpm, although this figure varies between models.
As the battery requires DC (direct current) voltage for correct charging, this AC voltage must be first rectified to DC current, and then regulated to the correct voltage for the
battery of 14.5 +/- 0.5 volts. This is done by the rectifier/regulator, which uses diodes to convert the alternator output to DC Volts and limits the resulting output to the correct
figure required for optimal battery charging.
If the charging circuit does not operate correctly, the following basic checks must be carried out before further diagnosis is performed:
Check the battery terminals are clean and tight.
Check the frame and engine earth connections are clean, tight and free from corrosion.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and in good condition.
Check that any fuse in the circuit is not blown and is of the correct rating.
Rectify any defects as necessary.

System Diagnostics - Chassis ECM

System Diagnosis

The chassis ECM has an on-board diagnostics feature which allows service technicians to retrieve stored data using the Triumph diagnostic software. Full details of the
Triumph diagnostic software operation and how to interpret the results are given in the Triumph Diagnostic Tool User Guide.
The software is connected, via an interface cable, to the motorcycle using a dedicated diagnostic plug situated beneath the seat. By using a dedicated plug, no electrical
connectors associated with the system are disturbed, reducing potential connector damage.
For the procedure to connect the Triumph Diagnostic Tool, see Diagnostic Tool Connection.
The software allows the user to retrieve data associated with the system sensors and actuators, test various component functions, read build data and make minor adjustments
to the set-up of the system. The data and tests available are described on the following pages.

On-board Fault Detection System

The on-board diagnostic system has two stages to fault detection. When a fault is detected, the DSM (Diagnostic Status Manager) raises a flag to indicate that a fault is present
and increments a counter. The counter checks the number of instances that the fault is noted.
When the count begins, the fault is detected but not confirmed. If the fault continues to be detected and the count reaches a predetermined threshold, the fault becomes
confirmed and a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) will be logged in the ECM's memory. A confirmed fault may be indicated by the effected system(s) simply becoming
inoperative, or by the illumination of a system warning light and/or instrument warning message. Once a fault is confirmed, the number of ignition switch cycles made is
counted. If the fault clears, the ignition switch cycle counter will restore operation to the affected system(s) and extinguish any warning lights or instrument messages at a
predetermined count. DTCs are then erased from the ECM memory at another (higher) count.

Electrical Connectors

Before beginning any diagnosis, the following connector related information should be noted:

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 439 of 527


Note
A major cause of hidden electrical faults can be traced to faulty electrical connectors. For example:
Dirty/corroded terminals
Damp terminals
For example, the chassis electronic control module (chassis ECM) relies on the supply of accurate information to enable it to correctly monitor the motorcycle's systems. One
dirty terminal will cause an excessive voltage drop resulting in an incorrect signal to the chassis ECM.
If, when carrying out fault diagnosis, a fault appears to clear by simply disconnecting and reconnecting an electrical plug, examine each disconnected plug for the following.

When Disconnecting a Connector:

Check for a security device that must be released before the connector can be separated, for example: tab, barb, hook and eye.

When Inspecting a Connector:

Check that the individual pins have not been bent


Check for dampness/dirt/corrosion
Check cables for security
Check cable pin joints for damage.

When Connecting a Connector:

Ensure there is no dirt around the connector/seal


Push together squarely to ensure terminals are not bent or incorrectly located
Push the two halves together positively.

Disconnection of the Chassis ECM Connectors

CAUTION

When disconnecting a connector, never pull directly on the wires as this may result in cable and connector damage.

CAUTION

Never disconnect an ECM when the ignition switch is in the ON position as this may cause multiple fault codes to be logged in the ECM memory.
Always disconnect an ECM after disconnecting the battery negative (black) lead first.

1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position and wait at least 1 minute for the chassis ECM to complete its power down sequence.
2. Remove the chassis ECM (see Chassis ECM - Removal).
Note
Two different sized connectors are used in the chassis ECM, which ensures correct connection is always made. Two 16 pin connectors are coloured grey (left,
connector CN3 and right, connector CN1), and a 20 pin connector (centre, connector CN2) is coloured black.
The two 16 pin grey connectors are different so they cannot be connected incorrectly.
1. Press down on the locking device and gently pull back on the connector to release it from the chassis ECM.

Further Diagnosis

Pinpoint Tests

Pin point tests, if used correctly, help to diagnose a fault in the system once a diagnostic trouble code has been stored.

Before Starting Pinpoint Tests:

1. Delete the stored DTCs.


2. Switch the ignition OFF and ON.
3. Ride the motorcycle at a road speed in excess of 30 km/h. If the DTC is repeated, proceed to the relevant pinpoint test.

After Completion of Pinpoint Tests:

1. Delete the stored DTCs.


2. Switch the ignition OFF and ON.
3. Ride the motorcycle at a road speed in excess of 30 km/h. If the DTC is repeated, proceed to the relevant pinpoint test.
4. If a DTC is stored, there is a further fault. Read the stored DTC and refer to the relevant pinpoint test.

Chassis ECM Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are logged in the chassis ECM memory when there is a confirmed fault in the system.
The codes are reported to the Triumph diagnostic tool as a four digit code.
When the system detects a fault, it begins to count the number of times the fault occurs before confirming the fault and storing a fault code. A confirmed fault may be indicated
by the effected system(s) simply becoming inoperative, or by the illumination of a system warning light and/or instrument warning message.
Similarly, if a fault clears, the chassis ECM also records this fact and will extinguish any warning lights or instrument messages and restore normal operation to the affected
system, when sufficient no-fault ignition switch cycles have taken place. Any fault codes will remain in the chassis ECM memory until the required number of no-fault ignition
switch cycles have taken place. The number of ignition switch cycles required to restore normal operation will always be less than the number required to remove a DTC from
the chassis ECM memory. DTCs can be removed at any time using the Triumph diagnostic tool.
The system will log the diagnostic trouble codes listed below:

Lighting Adjustment and Bulb Replacement

Headlight

WARNING

Adjust road speed to suit the visibility and weather conditions in which the motorcycle is being operated.
Make sure that the head light beam is adjusted to illuminate the road surface sufficiently far ahead without dazzling oncoming traffic. An incorrectly adjusted headlight may
impair visibility causing an accident.

WARNING

Never attempt to adjust a headlight beam when the motorcycle is in motion.


Any attempt to adjust a headlight beam when the motorcycle is in motion may result in loss of control and an accident.

CAUTION

Do not cover the headlight or lens with any item likely to obstruct air flow to, or prevent heat escaping from, the headlight lens.
Covering the headlight lens during operation with items of clothing, luggage, adhesive tape, devices intended to alter or adjust the headlight beam or non genuine headlight
lens covers will cause the headlight lens to overheat and distort, causing irreparable damage to the headlight assembly.
Damage caused by overheating is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.
If the headlight must be covered during use - such as taping of the headlight lens required during closed-course conditions - the headlight must be disconnected.

Headlight Bulb - Replacement

This model is fitted with light emitting diodes (LED) headlights. The headlights, DRL or LED position light are situated within the headlight assembly and are sealed,
maintenance free LED units. The headlight unit must be replaced in the event of failure of the headlights, DRL or LED position lights.

Rear Light/Licence Plate Light

The rear light unit is a sealed, maintenance-free LED unit. The licence plate light is integral to the rear light unit.

LED Direction Indicators

The LED direction indicators are sealed for life units and must be replaced in the event of a failure.

LED Fog Lights

The LED fog light units are sealed, maintenance free LED units. The fog light units must be replaced in the event of the failure of the fog lights.

Removal and Installation - Electrical Components

Battery - Terminal Disconnect

WARNING

Ensure that the battery terminals do not touch the motorcycle frame as this may cause a short circuit or spark, which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal
injury.

The riding modes allow the rider to adjust the throttle response (MAP), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control (TC) settings to suit differing road conditions and
rider preference.
Before disconnecting the battery or removing a fuse, note and record the rider’s settings. Once the fuse has been refitted or the battery reconnected the rider’s settings should
be reset as noted.

WARNING

If the battery has been disconnected or the fuses removed for any reason advise the rider to confirm the original mode settings have been correctly set. Failure to reset the
motorcycle to the rider’s preferred rider mode settings and subsequently being ridden may cause loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Perform the following operations:


Rider's Seat - Removal/InstallationRemove the rider's seat.
1. If installed, open the tool kit tray.
2. Remove the protective caps from the terminals.
3. Disconnect the battery terminals, negative (black) lead first.

Battery - Terminal Connect

WARNING

Ensure that the battery terminals do not touch the motorcycle frame as this may cause a short circuit or spark, which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of personal
injury.

1. Apply a light coat of grease to the terminals to prevent corrosion.


2. Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first and tighten the battery terminals to 4.5 Nm.
3. Cover the terminals with their protective caps.
4. If installed, close the tool kit tray.
Note
Once the battery has been reconnected the rider’s configuration settings should be reset as noted prior to the battery being disconnected.

Relays

A relay is effectively an electromagnetic switch. To close the relay contacts and complete the circuit, an electromagnet in the relay is energised which causes the relay contacts
to close, making the circuit complete.
Relays are used when the electrical current is too great for a mechanical switch, usually when the switching must be done quickly to prevent arcing across the switch contacts.
If a mechanical switch were used, the mechanical switch contacts would quickly burn away.

General Information

Calibration Downloading General Information

CAUTION

The calibration download procedures detailed in the flow charts provided in the following chapters must be followed precisely. Failure to precisely follow the procedures may
result in permanent damage to the component receiving the calibration download.

CAUTION

When downloading a calibration, always ensure the calibration selected is correct for your model and region. Failure to select the correct calibration may result in permanent
damage to the component receiving the calibration download.

CAUTION

When downloading an engine ECM calibration, always ensure the correct calibration is selected for your fuel type. Engine damage may result if a calibration for an incorrect
fuel type is installed.

Note
Some calibration downloads can take up to 40 minutes to complete. Before starting a download, ensure the battery voltage is at least 12.8 Volts.
The headlight fuse may be removed prior to starting a download to prevent the headlight draining the battery. Refer to the label on the fuse box cover for the
fuse location.
Ensure the ignition and engine Start/Stop switches are set to the positions detailed at the beginning of each download process flowchart.
Once the calibration download has been started, do not switch the ignition or engine Start/Stop switches to a different position unless instructed to do so by
the Triumph Diagnostic Tool/download process flow chart.
Do not disconnect the diagnostic interface during the calibration download.
During a calibration download, multiple files are downloaded and the progress bar displayed will repeatedly rise from 0% to 100% as each file is downloaded.
Always wait for the Verifying Download screen to appear to confirm that the full calibration has downloaded successfully and click the Finish button to end the
process. Do not click the Cancel button while the download is still in progress.

Instrument Calibration Downloads

Following an instrument calibration download, the following items (if fitted) may return to their factory default settings. Before starting an instrument calibration download, record
the settings of each item where applicable so that the settings can be restored after the download has finished.
Time/date
Distance/time to next service
TPMS instrument display (enabled/disabled)
All riding mode settings
Self cancelling indicators (enabled/disabled).

Downloading Sequence - Calibration Downloads to Multiple ECMs

When planning to download a calibration, check each of the motorcycle’s ECMs for out of date calibrations and ensure all ECMs are updated as necessary. Where calibration
updates are available for more than one ECM, the ECMs should be updated in the following order.
1. Instruments
2. Chassis ECM/Keyless ECM (if fitted)
3. Engine ECM

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 520 of 527


Odometer Reset

This model is equipped with an odometer that allows the recorded odometer value to be reset to zero during the PDI check.
In the event of replacement this functionality will also allow a new set of instruments to be programmed with the motorcycle’s existing odometer value.
Note
Motorcycles with the odometer reset functionality enabled will display the Set/Reset Odometer option in the chassis diagnostics menu.
If the odometer has recorded more than 120 miles (200 km) or previously been reset the option will not be available and the buttons will be greyed out.
Triumph Motorcycles LTD. would like to emphasise the importance of following the correct process whilst using the Triumph Diagnostic Tool to SET/RESET the odometer.

CAUTION

This operation can only be performed once and cannot be undone.


Check the new value is correct before proceeding.

When setting or resetting the odometer value ensure:


The CORRECT odometer value is displayed in the Set Odometer box before pressing the Set or Reset button.
DO NOT press the Set or Reset buttons before entering the correct odometer value. Once pressed the option to set or reset the odometer will no longer be available.
REMEMBER, pressing the set or reset buttons will lock the odometer and no further programming will be allowed.

To Set/Reset the Odometer always refer to Set/Reset Odometer in the Chassis Diagnostics chapter of the Triumph Diagnostic User Guide.

Triumph Shift Assist System (if fitted)

System Description

The Triumph Shift Assist (TSA) system enables the rider to change gears without the use of the clutch. The system uses signals from the Shift Force Sensor (if fitted) (located
on the gear change linkage) and the Gear Position Sensor to detect when a shift force is applied to the gear change pedal. Engine torque is then adjusted to facilitate a smooth,
clutch free gear change.

System Operation

The Triumph shift assist system allows clutch free shifts for the majority of gear changes. However, it is recommended that the clutch is used for gear changes at slow riding
speeds, or when riding in slow traffic.
The clutch must be used when selecting any gear from neutral, and also when selecting neutral from any other gear.
To ensure a smooth gear change, use a positive pedal force to select the next gear then release the pedal. Do not hold the pedal in its upper or lower positions.
Clutch free Up shifts are disabled by the system at engine speeds lower than 1,500 revolutions per minute (rpm) to prevent stalling.
At maximum engine speeds, clutch free up shifts are allowed by the system, but clutch free down shifts are disabled to prevent engine over speed.
The Triumph shift assist system is disabled if the motorcycle is traveling at its limited top speed. The system is automatically re-enabled when the motorcycle slows down
from its limited top speed.
Engine torque is reduced when changing gear at high engine loads.
A throttle 'blip' is applied when changing gear at low engine loads.
Engine torque is returned to normal control when the gear change is complete.

Malfunction Action

If a Triumph shift assist malfunction occurs, the system will be inhibited and the Transmission Warning symbol will be illuminated on the instrument panel.
All Triumph shift assist related malfunctions must be rectified before the system can be re-enabled.
If the malfunction is related to the gear position sensor, the neutral position and gear position adaption must be reset and re-adapted before the system can enabled.
If the malfunction is related to the shift force sensor, the shift force sensor adaption must be reset and re-adapted before the system can enabled.
The Transmission Warning symbol will continue to be displayed until each adaption is completed successfully.

Shift Force Sensor (if fitted)

The shift force sensor is used to detect when a force is applied to the gear change pedal.

Voltage Characteristics

The sensor output voltage changes as follows during normal operation:


Sensor State Voltage

At rest 2.6 V

In compression (up shift) 1.6 V

In tension (down shift) 3.6 V

The sensor voltage can be read using the Triumph diagnostic tool.

Further diagnostics

Refer to Shift Force Sensor Circuit (Triumph Shift Assist) for details of pinpoint tests relating to diagnostic trouble codes P1702 and P1703.

WARNING

Service Manual - Tiger 900 Rally Pro 526 of 527


WARNING

Do not start the motorcycle and engage gears while it is parked on its centre stand. Do not attempt to adapt the gear positions with the motorcycle parked on its centre
stand.
Should the motorcycle fall off its centre stand while the rear wheel is in motion, the motorcycle would accelerate rapidly. This could result in serious injury or death as well as
causing damage to the motorcycle and other property.

To re-adapt the gear positions:


1. Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
2. Start the engine and allow the neutral position to adapt (see Neutral Position Adaption).

WARNING

When riding the motorcycle the rider must always wear a safety helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, trousers (close fitting around the knee and ankle) and a brightly
coloured jacket. Brightly coloured clothing will considerably increase a rider'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.

Note
A suitable safe place should be found to carry out the road test.
The Transmission Warning symbol is illuminated on the instrument display.
3. Road test the motorcycle as follows:
Ride the motorcycle smoothly at low engine speeds, changing up through each gear in turn.
Fully close the throttle and use the clutch at each gear change.
As soon as each gear engages, allow the gear change pedal to return to its normal resting position. Do not rest your foot on the pedal as any movement of the pedal can
cause incorrect adaption.
When each gear change is complete, release the clutch and ride normally using gentle acceleration. Avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration as this will prevent adaption.
The gear position will adapt a few seconds after each gear change is completed.
When all gear positions have successfully adapted, the Transmission Warning symbol will turn off.
After completing the road test, turn the ignition OFF for at least 60 seconds to allow the adaption settings to be stored in ECM memory.
The gear position adaption status can be confirmed using the Triumph diagnostic tool.
