Maintenance
108
Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed course, on-road
competition or on closed course
racetracks.
High-speed
operation
should only then be attempted by
riders who have been instructed in the
techniques necessary for high-speed
riding and are familiar with the
motorcycle’s characteristics in all
conditions. High speed operation in
any other circumstances is dangerous
and will lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Operation with excessively worn tires
is hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
When
tubeless
tires
become
punctured, leakage is often very slow.
Always inspect tires very closely for
punctures. Check the tires for cuts,
embedded nails or other sharp objects.
Operation with punctured or damaged
tires 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 tires is
dangerous and loss of motorcycle
control or an accident could result.
Always
consult
your
authorized
Triumph dealer for tire replacement, or
for a safety inspection of the tires.
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 and inner
tubes (if equipped) mounted in approved
combinations,
are
used
when
purchasing replacement items. The use
of non-approved tires and inner tubes,
or approved tires and inner tubes in
non-approved combinations, may lead
to motorcycle instability, loss of control
and an accident.
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 and inner tube
combinations. Always have tires and
inner tubes mounted and balanced by
your authorized Triumph dealer who has
the necessary training and skills to
ensure safe, effective fitment.
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.
