Front Wheel- Rocket Iii And Classic; Removal - Triumph Rocket III Classic Service Manual

WheelslTyres
When replacement tyres are required, consult your
authorised Triumph dealer who will arrange for the tyres
to be fitted according to the tyre manufacturers
instructions.
When tyres are replaced, allow time for the tyre to seat
itself to the rim (approximately 24 hours). During this
seating period, ride cautiously as an incorrectly seated
tyre could cause loss of motorcycle control or an
accident. Initially, the new tyre will not produce the same
handling characteristics as the worn tyre and the rider
must allow adequate riding distance (approximately 100
miles) to become accustomed to the new handling
characteristics.
After both 24 hours and 100 miles, the tyre pressures
should be checked and adjusted and the tyre examined
for correct seating and rectified as necessary.
Use of a motorcycle when not accustomed to its
handling characteristics, with incorrect tyre pressures or
an incorrectly seated tyre is dangerous and may lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
