Maintenance
109
Warning
If a tire or inner tube sustains a
puncture, the tire and inner tube must
be replaced. Failure to replace a
punctured tire and inner tube, or
operation with a repaired tire or inner
tube can lead to instability, loss of
motorcycle control or an accident.
Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles equipped with spoked
wheels and with tires marked 'TUBE
TYPE'.
Use of an inner tube with a tire
marked 'TUBELESS' and/or on an alloy
wheel can lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tires on
tubeless rims. The bead will not seat
and the tires could slip on the rims,
causing rapid tire deflation that may
result in a loss of vehicle control and
an accident. Never install an inner tube
inside a tubeless tire. This will cause
friction inside the tire and the resulting
heat build-up may cause the tube to
burst resulting in rapid tire deflation,
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Warning
If tire damage is suspected, such as
after striking the curb, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect
the tire both internally and externally.
Remember, tire damage may not
always be visible from the outside.
Operation of the motorcycle with
damaged tires could lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Warning
Tires and inner tubes 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 tire.
Tires and inner tubes must be replaced
after such use as continued use of a
damaged tire or inner tube may lead to
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Accurate wheel balance is necessary
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 control and an
accident.
When wheel balancing is required,
such as after tire or inner tube
replacement, see your authorized
Triumph dealer.
