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 without the
appropriate marking. 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 vehicle 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
control and an accident.
Warning
Tires 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 tire.
Tires and inner tubes must be replaced
after such use as continued use of a
damaged tire or inner tube may lead to
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Accurate wheel balance is necessary
for safe, stable handling of the
motorcycle. Do not remove or change
any wheel balance weights. Incorrect
wheel balance may cause instability
leading to loss of control and an
accident.
When wheel balancing is required, such
as after tire or inner tube replacement,
see your authorized Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip on
weights may damage the wheel, tire or
inner tube resulting in tire deflation,
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
