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

approved list and fitted according to the

instructions.
