Maintenance

may lead to motorcycle instability 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 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.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if fitted)
Warning
Use of non-recommended tyres can
affect wheel speed and cause the
Triumph traction control function not
to operate, potentially leading to loss
of motorcycle 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 tyres can affect wheel
speed and cause the ABS function not
to operate, potentially leading to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident
in conditions where the ABS would
normally function.
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 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 vehicle 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.
Warning
If tyre damage is suspected, such as
after striking the kerb, ask your
authorised Triumph dealer to inspect
the tyre both internally and externally.
Remember, tyre damage may not
always be visible from the outside.
Operation of the motorcycle with
damaged tyres could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
