Tyre Replacement - Triumph Speed Triple S Owner's Handbook Manual

Warning
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed-course on-road
competition or on closed-course race-
tracks. High speed operation should
only then be attempted by riders who
have been instructed in the techniques
necessary for high speed riding and
are familiar with the motorcycle's char-
acteristics in all conditions.
High speed operation in any other cir-
cumstances is dangerous and will lead
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except
in authorised closed-course conditions.
In accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance chart, measure the depth of the
tread with a depth gauge, and replace
any tyre that has worn to, or beyond
the minimum allowable tread depth
specified in the table below:
Under 130 km/h
(80 mph)
Over 130 km/h
(80 mph)
2 mm (0.08 in)
Rear 3 mm (0.12 in)
Front 2 mm (0.08 in)

Tyre Replacement

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully
and extensively tested in a range of rid-
ing conditions to ensure that the most
effective tyre combinations are ap-
proved 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 au-
thorised 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.
Different wheel
non-approved tyres, can affect the
function of the ABS computer.
Warning
The ABS operates by comparing the
relative speed of the front and rear
wheels. Use of
tyres can affect wheel speed and
cause the ABS function not to operate,
potentially leading to loss of control
and an accident in conditions where
the ABS would normally function.
