Maintenance

may lead to motorcycle instability and
an accident. On models equipped with
ABS, 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 combinations. Always
have tires mounted and balanced by
your authorized Triumph dealer who has
the necessary training and skills to
ensure safe, effective mounting.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped)
Warning
Use of non-recommended tires 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 tires 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 tire sustains a puncture, the tire
must be replaced. Failure to replace a
punctured tire, or operation with a
repaired tire can lead to instability, loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tires on
tubeless rims. The bead will not seat
and the tires could slip on the rims,
causing rapid tire deflation that may
result in a loss of vehicle control and
an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a
tubeless tire.
This will cause friction inside the tire
and the resulting heat build-up may
cause the tube to burst resulting in
rapid tire deflation, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
If tire damage is suspected, such as
after striking the curb, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect
the tire both internally and externally.
Remember, tire damage may not
always be visible from the outside.
Operation of the motorcycle with
damaged tires could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
