Maintenance and Adjustment
Tyre Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and
extensively tested in a range of riding
conditions to ensure that the most effective
tyre combinations are approved for use on
this model. It is essential that approved tyres,
fitted in approved combinations, are used
when purchasing replacement tyres. The use
of non-approved tyres, or approved tyres in
non-approved combinations, may lead to
motorcycle instability and an accident. On
models fitted with ABS, different wheel
speeds, caused by non-approved tyres can
affect the function of the ABS computer.
See the Specification section for details of
approved tyre combinations. Always have
tyres fitted and balanced by your authorised
Triumph dealer who has the necessary
training and skills to ensure safe, effective
fitment.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(Only on models fitted with TPMS)
Warning
Operation with excessively worn tyres is
hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which may
lead to loss of control and an accident.
When tubeless tyres become punctured,
leakage is often very slow. Always inspect
tyres very closely for punctures. Check the
tyres for cuts, embedded nails or other
sharp objects. Operation with punctured or
damaged tyres will adversely affect
motorcycle stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control or an accident.
Check the rims for dents or deformation.
Operation with damaged or defective
wheels or tyres is dangerous and loss of
motorcycle control or an accident could
result.
Always consult your authorised Triumph
dealer for tyre replacement, or for a safety
inspection of the tyres.
Caution
An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel rim
to indicate the position of the tyre pressure
sensor. Care must be taken when replacing
the tyres to prevent any damage to the tyre
pressure sensors. Always have your tyres
fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer
and inform them that tyre pressure sensors
are fitted to the wheels.
