EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Tiger 800 XC in 1 alert. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The stems of the indicators can break, with the result that other road users will not be able to see in which direction the rider wishes to turn. This can lead to an accident.
