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 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
increase
pressure. The cold inflation pressures
specified by Triumph take account of this.
Only adjust tyre pressures when the
tyres
are

pressure display on the instruments.

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.

Warning
Operation with excessively worn tyres
is hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
When

punctured, leakage is often very slow.
Always inspect tyres very closely for
punctures. Check the tyres for cuts,
embedded nails or other sharp objects.
Operation with punctured or damaged
tyres will adversely affect motorcycle
stability and handling which may lead
to loss of control or an accident.
