Tire Inflation Pressures
Warning
Incorrect tire inflation will cause
abnormal tread wear and instability
problems that may lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Under inflation may result in the tire
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
Tire pressures which have been
reduced for off-road riding will impair
on-road stability.
Always make sure that the tire
pressures are set as described in the
Specification section for on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with
incorrect tire pressures may cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Correct inflation pressure will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and
tire life. Always check tire pressures
before riding when the tires are cold.
Check tire pressures daily and adjust if
necessary. See the Specification section
for details of the correct inflation
pressures.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped)
Caution
An adhesive label is installed to the
wheel rim to indicate the position of
the tire pressure sensor.
Care must be taken when replacing
the tires to prevent any damage to
the tire pressure sensors.
Always have your tires mounted
by your authorized Triumph dealer
and inform them that tire pressure
sensors are installed on the wheels.
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 tires mounted
by your authorized Triumph dealer
and inform them that tire pressure
sensors are installed on the wheels.
