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 manufacturer's
instructions.
Initially, the new tires and inner tubes
will not produce the same handling
characteristics as the worn tires and
inner tubes and the rider must allow
adequate riding distance (approximately
100 miles (160 km))
accustomed to
characteristics.
24 hours after
pressures must
adjusted, and the tires and inner
tubes examined for correct seating.
Rectification must be carried out as
necessary. The
adjustments must also be carried out
when 100 miles (160 km) have been
traveled after mounting.
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles equipped with spoked
wheels and with tires marked 'TUBE
TYPE'.
Some brands of approved tires marked
'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use
with an inner tube. Where this is the
case, the tire wall will be marked with

Warning
Use of an inner tube with a tire
marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked
as suitable for use with an inner
tube, or use of an inner tube on
an alloy wheel marked 'SUITABLE
FOR TUBELESS TYRES' will cause
deflation of the tire resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Do not install tube type tires on
tubeless rims.
The bead will not seat and the tires
tire
could slip on the rims, causing rapid
and
tire deflation that may result in a loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a
and
tubeless tire without the appropriate
marking. This will cause friction inside
the tire and the resulting heat build-
up may cause the tube to burst
resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
If a tire or inner tube sustains a
puncture, the tire and inner tube must
be replaced.
Failure to replace a punctured tire
and inner tube, or operation with a
repaired tire or inner tube can lead to
instability, loss of motorcycle control
or an accident.
