Maintenance

Warning
Continued
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.
Warning
When replacement tires or inner tubes
are required, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer who will arrange for
the tires and inner tubes to be
selected, in a correct combination, from
the approved list and mounted
according to the tire and inner tube
manufacturer's instructions.
When tires and inner tubes are
replaced, allow time for the tires and
inner tubes to seat to the rim
(approximately 24 hours). During this
seating period, ride cautiously as an
incorrectly seated tire or inner tube
could
cause
instability,
loss
of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Initially, the new tires and inner tubes
will not produce the same handling
characteristics as the worn tires and
inner tubes and the rider must allow
adequate
riding
distance
(approximately 100 miles (160 km)) to
become accustomed to the new
handling characteristics.
Warning
Continued
24 hours after fitting, the tire
pressures must be checked and
adjusted, and the tires and inner tubes
examined
for
correct
seating.
Rectification must be carried out as
necessary. The same checks and
adjustments must also be carried out
when 100 miles (160 km) have been
travelled after fitting.
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.
