Warning
Operation with excessively worn tires
is hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
When tubeless tires become
punctured, leakage is often very slow.
Always inspect tires very closely for
punctures. Check the tires for cuts,
embedded nails or other sharp objects.
Operation with punctured or damaged
tires 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 tires is
dangerous and loss of motorcycle
control or an accident could result.
Always consult your authorized
Triumph dealer for tire replacement, or
for a safety inspection of the tires.
In accordance with the periodic
maintenance chart, measure the depth
of the tread with a depth gauge, and
replace any tire that has worn to, or
beyond the minimum allowable tread
depth specified in the table below:
Under 80 mph
(130 km/h)
0.08 in (2 mm)
Over 80 mph
(130 km/h)
Front 0.08 in (2 mm)
Rear 0.12 in (3 mm)
Warning
This Triumph motorcycle must not be
operated above the legal road speed
limit except in authorized closed
course conditions.
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed course, on-road
competition or on closed course
racetracks. High speed operation
should only then be attempted by
riders who have been instructed in the
techniques necessary for high speed
riding and are familiar with the
motorcycle’s characteristics in all
conditions. High speed operation in any
other circumstances is dangerous and
will lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Tire Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully
and extensively tested in a range of
riding conditions to ensure that the
most effective tire combinations are
approved for use on each model. It is
essential that approved tires and inner
tubes (if installed) installed in approved
combinations, are used when purchasing
replacement items. The use of non-
approved tires and inner tubes, or
approved tires and inner tubes in non-
approved combinations, may lead to
motorcycle instability, loss of control and
an accident.
