Mud and Snow/Dual Purpose Tyres
(if fitted)
The

purpose tyres may result in reduced
motorcycle stability. If the stability

handling
motorcycle (with the mud and snow/
dual purpose tyres fitted) begins to
change adversely, then check the tyre
tread depth. It is recommended that
mud and snow/dual purpose tyres
are replaced earlier than normal tyres
and before they are worn near to the
minimum allowable tread depth, see

Tyre Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully
and extensively tested in a range of
riding conditions to ensure that the
most effective tyre combinations are
approved for use on each model. It is
essential that approved tyres fitted in
approved combinations, are used when
purchasing replacement items. The use
of non-approved tyres or approved
tyres in non-approved combinations,
may lead to motorcycle instability, loss
of control and an accident.
A list of approved tyres specific to your
motorcycle are available from your
authorised Triumph dealer, or on the
Internet at www. triumph. co. uk. Always
have tyres fitted and balanced by your
authorised Triumph dealer who has the
necessary training and skills to ensure
safe, effective fitment.
When replacement tyres are required,
consult your authorised Triumph dealer
who will arrange for the tyres to be
selected, in a correct combination, from
the approved list and fitted according to
the tyre manufacturer's instructions.

characteristics.
The tyre pressures must be checked
and adjusted, and the tyres examined
for
correct
fitting. Rectification must be carried
out as necessary. The same checks
and adjustments must also be carried
out when 100 miles (160 km) have been
travelled after fitting.
Use the recommended tyres ONLY in
the combinations given. Do not mix
tyres from different manufacturers or
mix different specification tyres from
the same manufacturers as this may
result in loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
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 motorcycle 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
motorcycle control and an accident.
