General Information

Sensor Batteries

When the battery voltage in a pressure
sensor is low, 'lo bAtt' will be displayed for
eight seconds and the TPMS symbol will
indicate which wheel sensor has the low
battery voltage. If the batteries are completely
flat, only dashes will be visible in the display
screen, the red TPMS warning light will be
on and the TPMS symbol will flash
continuously. Contact your
Triumph dealer to have the sensor replaced
and the new serial number recorded in the
spaces provided on page 25.

position, if the TPMS symbol flashes for
10 seconds and then remains on there is a
fault with the TPMS system. Contact your
authorised Triumph dealer to have the fault
rectified.

Tyre Pressures

The tyre pressures shown on your instrument
panel indicate the actual tyre pressure at the
time of selecting the display. This may differ
from the inflation pressure set when the tyres
are cold because tyres become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tyre to
expand and the inflation pressure to increase.
The cold inflation pressures specified by
authorised Triumph take account of this.
Owners must only adjust tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold using an accurate tyre
pressure gauge (see page 109), and must not
use the tyre pressure display on the
instruments.

The tyre pressure monitoring system is not
to be used as a tyre pressure gauge when
adjusting the tyre pressures. For correct
tyre pressures, always check the tyre
MIN x 1000

pressures when the tyres are cold and
using an accurate tyre pressure gauge (see
page 109).
Use of the TPMS system to set inflation
pressures may lead to incorrect tyre
pressures leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.

Replacement Tyres

When replacing tyres, always have an
authorised Triumph dealer fit your tyres and
ensure they are aware that tyre pressure
sensors are fitted to the wheels (see
page 111).
