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 motorcycle control and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a
tubeless tire without the appropriate
marking. 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
motorcycle control and an accident.
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
If tire damage is suspected, such
as after striking the curb, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect
the tire both internally and externally.
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
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tires or inner tubes, incorrectly
adjusted tire pressures, or when
not accustomed to its handling
characteristics may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
The ABS system operates by
comparing the relative speed of the
front and rear wheels.
Use of non-recommended tires 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
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.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip on
weights may damage the wheel, tire or
inner tube resulting in tire deflation,
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
