Tire Replacement

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully
and extensively tested in a range of
riding conditions to make sure that the
most effective tire combinations are
approved for use on each model. It is
essential that approved tires and inner
tubes (if installed) mounted in approved
combinations,
purchasing replacement items. The use
of non-approved tires and inner tubes,
or approved tires and inner tubes in
non-approved combinations, may lead
to motorcycle instability, loss of control
and an accident.
A list of approved tires and inner tubes
specific to your motorcycle are available
from your authorized Triumph dealer, or
on the Internet at www. triumph. co. uk.
Always have tires and inner tubes
mounted and
authorized Triumph dealer who has the
necessary training and skills to ensure
safe, effective installation.
When replacement tires or inner tubes
are required, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer who will arrange for the
tires and inner tubes to be selected, in a
correct combination, from the approved
list and mounted according to the tire
and inner tube
instructions.
