Warning
Do not install tube type tyres on
tubeless rims.
The bead will not seat and the tyres
could slip on the rims, causing rapid
tyre deflation that may result in a loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a
tubeless tyre without the appropriate
marking. This will cause friction inside
the tyre and the resulting heat build-
up may cause the tube to burst
resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If a tyre or inner tube sustains a
puncture, the tyre and inner tube
must be replaced.
Failure to replace a punctured tyre
and inner tube, or operation with a
repaired tyre or inner tube can lead to
instability, loss of motorcycle control
or an accident.
Warning
If tyre damage is suspected, such
as after striking the kerb, ask your
authorised Triumph dealer to inspect
the tyre both internally and externally.
Tyre damage may not always be visible
from the outside.
Operation of the motorcycle with
damaged tyres could lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tyres or inner tubes,
incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, or
when not accustomed to its handling
characteristics may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
ABS operates by comparing the
relative speed of the front and rear
wheels.
Use of non-recommended tyres 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 tyre or inner tube
replacement, see your authorised
Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip
on weights may damage the wheel,
tyre or inner tube resulting in tyre
deflation, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
