Tyre Replacement
Note:
• Some brands of approved tyre
marked TUBELESS may be suitable
for use with an inner tube. Where
this is the case, the tyre wall will be
marked with text permitting the
fitment of an inner tube.
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 each model. It is
essential that approved tyres and inner
tubes (if installed) fitted in approved
combinations, are used when purchasing
replacement items. The use of non-
approved tyres and inner tubes, or
approved tyres and inner tubes in non-
approved combinations, may lead to
motorcycle instability, loss of motorcycle
control 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 Specifications section for details
of approved tyre and inner tube
combinations. Always have tyres and
inner tubes 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
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels
and with tyres marked TUBE TYPE.
Use of an inner tube with a tyre
marked TUBELESS and/or on an alloy
wheel can lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tyres on
tubeless rims. The bead will not seat
and the tyres could slip on the rims,
causing rapid tyre deflation that may
result in a loss of motorcycle control
and an accident. Never install an inner
tube inside a tubeless tyre. This will
cause friction inside the tyre and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the
tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre
deflation, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
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.
