Maintenance and Adjustment

Caution
Do not use anti puncture fluid or any
other item likely to obstruct air flow to
the TPMS sensor's orifices. Any
blockage to the air pressure orifice of
the TPMS sensor during operation will
cause the sensor to become blocked,
causing irreparable damage to the
TPMS sensor assembly. Damage
caused by the use of anti puncture
fluid or incorrect maintenance is not
considered a manufacturing defect
and will not be covered under
warranty. Always have your tires
installed by your authorized Triumph
dealer and inform them that tire
pressure sensors are mounted to the
wheels.
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 or inner tube damage is
suspected, such as after striking the
curb, ask your authorized Triumph
dealer to inspect the tire both
internally and externally and to also
inspect the inner tube. Remember, 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
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 installed
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.
24 hours after installation, 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 installation.
