Battery - Triumph Tiger XR Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance and Adjustment
Warning
Continued
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tyres or inner
incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, or
when not accustomed to its handling
characteristics may lead to loss of
motorcycle 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,
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 tyre or inner tube
replacement, see your
Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip on
weights may damage the wheel, tyre
or inner tube resulting
deflation, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
