Tyre Inflation Pressures

Warning
Incorrect tyre
abnormal tread wear and instability
problems that may lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Underinflation may result in the tyre
slipping on, or coming off the rim.
Overinflation will cause instability and
accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they
may cause loss of control leading to an
accident.
Correct inflation pressure will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and
tyre life. Always check tyre pressures
before riding when the tyres are cold.
Check tyre pressures daily and adjust if
necessary. See the Specification section
for details of the correct inflation
pressures.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (if
fitted)
The tyre pressures shown on your
instruments indicate the actual tyre
pressure at the time of selecting the
display. This may
inflation pressure set when the tyres
are cold because tyres become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tyre
to expand and increase the inflation
pressure. The cold inflation pressures
specified by Triumph take account of
this.

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre
becomes more susceptible to punctures
and failure. It is estimated that 90% of
all tyre problems occur during the last
10% of tread life (90% worn). It is
recommended that tyres are changed
before they are worn to their minimum
tread depth.
