Maintenance and Adjustment
Tire Inflation Pressures
Correct inflation pressure will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and tire life.
Always check tire pressures before riding
when the tires are cold. Check tire pressures
daily and adjust if necessary. See the
Specification section for details of the correct
inflation pressures.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(if equipped)
The tire pressures shown on your instrument
pack indicate the actual tire pressure at the
time of selecting the display. This may differ
from the inflation pressure set when the tires
are cold because tires become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tire to
expand and increase the inflation pressure.
The cold inflation pressures specified by
Triumph take account of this.
Owners must only adjust tire pressures when
the tires are cold using an accurate pressure
gauge, and must not use the tire pressure
display on the instruments.
Tire Wear
As the tire tread wears down, the tire
becomes more susceptible to punctures and
failure. It is therefore not recommended to
use tires until they are worn to their
minimum.
Minimum Recommended Tread
Depth
In accordance with the periodic maintenance
chart, measure the depth of the tread with a
depth gauge, and replace any tire that has
worn to, or beyond the minimum allowable
tread depth specified in the table below:
Warning
Incorrect tire inflation will cause abnormal
tread wear and instability problems that
may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Under-inflation may result in the tire
slipping on, or coming off the rim.
Over-inflation will cause instability and
accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they may
cause loss of control leading to an accident.
