Maintenance and Adjustment
Tyre Replacement
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, fitted in
approved combinations, are used
when purchasing replacement tyres.
The use of non-approved tyres, or
approved tyres in non-approved
combinations,
may
lead
to
motorcycle
instability
and
an
accident. See the specification
section for details of approved tyre
combinations. Always have tyres
fitted and balanced by your
authorised Triumph dealer who has
the necessary training and skills to
ensure safe, effective fitment.
Warning
Operation with excessively worn
tyres is hazardous and will
adversely affect traction, stability
and handling which may lead to
loss of control and an accident.
When tubeless tyres become
punctured, leakage is often very
slow. Always inspect tyres very
closely for punctures. Check the
tyres for cuts, embedded nails or
other sharp objects. Operation with
punctured or damaged tyres 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
tyres is dangerous and loss of
motorcycle control or an accident
could result.
Always consult your authorised
Triumph
dealer
for
tyre
replacement, or for a safety
inspection of the tyres.
Warning
If a tyre sustains a puncture, the
tyre must be replaced. Failure to
replace a punctured tyre, or
operation with a repaired tyre can
lead to instability, loss of control or
an accident.
