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 this model. It is
essential that approved tires, installed in
approved combinations, are used when
purchasing replacement tires.
The use of non-approved tires, or
approved tires in non-approved
combinations, may lead to motorcycle
instability and an accident. On models
equipped with ABS, different wheel
speeds, caused by non-approved tires
can affect the function of the ABS
computer.
See the Specification section for details
of approved tire combinations. Always
have tires installed and balanced by
your authorized Triumph dealer who has
the necessary training and skills to
ensure safe, effective installation.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(Only on models equipped with TPMS)
Caution
An adhesive label is mounted 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 installed by your authorized
Triumph dealer and inform them that
tire pressure sensors are mounted to
the wheels.
Warning
Use of non-recommended tires can
affect wheel speed and cause the
Triumph traction control function not
to operate, potentially leading to loss
of control and an accident in
conditions where the Triumph traction
control would normally function.
Warning
On models equipped with ABS, the ABS
computer 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
control and an accident in conditions
where the ABS would normally
function.
