Maintenance and Adjustment
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
each model. It is essential that approved tires,
mounted in approved combinations, are used
when purchasing replacement tires. The use
of non-approved tires in non-approved
combinations, may lead to motorcycle
instability, loss of control 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
mounted and balanced by your authorized
Triumph dealer who has the necessary
training and skills to ensure safe, effective
mounting.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(Only on models equipped with TPMS)
Caution
An adhesive label is fitted 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
mounted 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
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.
