Battery - Triumph Speed Triple S Owner's Handbook Manual

Warning
When replacement tyres are required,
consult your authorised Triumph dealer
who will arrange for the tyres to be se-
lected, in a correct combination, from
the approved list and fitted according
to the tyre manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
When tyres are replaced, allow time for
the tyres to seat to the rim (approxi-
mately 24 hours). During this seating
period, ride cautiously as an incorrectly
seated tyre could cause instability, loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Initially, the new tyres will not produce
the same handling characteristics as
the worn tyres and the rider must al-
low adequate
(approximately 100 miles (160 km)) to
become accustomed to the new han-
dling characteristics.
24 hours after fitting, the tyre pres-
sures must be checked and adjusted,
and the tyres examined for correct
seating. 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 of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre
pressures, or when not accustomed to
its handling characteristics may lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an acci-
dent.
