Maintenance
170
Warning
When replacement tires or inner tubes
are required, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer who will arrange for the
tires and inner tubes to be selected, in
a correct combination, from the
approved list and mounted according
to
the
tire
and
inner
tube
manufacturer's instructions.
When tires and inner tubes are
replaced, allow time for the tires and
inner tubes to seat to the rim
(approximately 24 hours). During this
seating period, ride cautiously as an
incorrectly seated tire or inner tube
could cause instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Initially, the new tires and inner tubes
will not produce the same handling
characteristics as the worn tires and
inner tubes and the rider must allow
adequate
riding
distance
(approximately 100 miles (160 km)) to
become accustomed to the new
handling characteristics.
24 hours after mounting, the tire
pressures must be checked and
adjusted, and the tires and inner tubes
examined
for
correct
seating.
Rectification must be carried out as
necessary. The same checks and
adjustments must also be carried out
when 100 miles (160 km) have been
traveled after mounting.
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tires or inner tubes, incorrectly
adjusted tire pressures, or when not
accustomed
to
its
handling
characteristics may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(Only on models equipped with TPMS)
Caution
An adhesive label is installed to the
wheel rim to indicate the position of
the tire pressure sensor. Care must be
taken when replacing the tires to
prevent any damage to the tire
pressure sensors. Always have your
tires mounted by your authorized
Triumph dealer and inform them that
tire pressure sensors are installed on
the wheels.
Caution
Do not use anti puncture fluid or any
other item likely to obstruct air flow to
the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any
blockage to the air pressure orifice of
the TPMS sensor during operation will
cause the sensor to become blocked,
causing irreparable damage to the
TPMS sensor assembly. Damage
caused by the use of anti puncture
fluid or incorrect maintenance is not
considered a manufacturing defect and
will not be covered under warranty.
Always have your tires mounted by
your authorized Triumph dealer and
inform them that tire pressure sensors
are installed on the wheels.
