Warning
If a tyre or inner tube sustains a
puncture, the tyre and inner tube must
be replaced. Failure to replace a
punctured tyre and inner tube, or
operation with a repaired tyre or inner
tube can lead to instability, loss of
motorcycle control or an accident.
Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels
and with tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.
Some brands of approved tyres marked
'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use
with an inner tube. Where this is the
case, the tyre wall will be marked with
text permitting the fitment of an inner
tube.
Use of an inner tube with a tyre
marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked
as suitable for use with an inner tube,
or use of an inner tube on an alloy
wheel marked 'SUITABLE FOR
TUBELESS TYRES' will cause deflation
of the tyre resulting in 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 without the
appropriate marking. 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 vehicle 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
control and an accident.
Warning
Tyres and inner tubes that have been
used on a rolling road dynamometer
may become damaged. In some cases,
the damage may not be visible on the
external surface of the tyre.
Tyres and inner tubes must be
replaced after such use as continued
use of a damaged tyre or inner tube
may lead to instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
