Minimum Recommended Tread
Depth
Riding with excessively worn tires is
hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
When tubeless tires, used without a
tube, become punctured, leakage is
often very slow. Always inspect tires
very closely for punctures. Check the
tires for cuts, embedded nails or other
sharp objects. Riding with punctured
or damaged tires will adversely affect
motorcycle
which may lead to loss of control or an
accident.
Check
the
deformation. Riding with damaged or
defective wheels or tires is dangerous
and may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
Always
consult
Triumph dealer for tire replacement, or
for a safety inspection of the tires.

Mud and Snow/Dual Purpose Tires
(if equipped)
The use of mud and snow/dual purpose
tires may result in reduced motorcycle
stability. If the stability or handling
characteristics
(equipped with the mud and snow/
dual purpose tires) begins to change
adversely, then check the tire tread
depth. It is recommended that mud and
snow/dual purpose tires are replaced
earlier than normal tires and before
they are worn near to the minimum

Tire Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully
and extensively tested in a range of
or
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, are used when
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.
