Battery - Triumph Speed Triple Handbook

Warning
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated
tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, or
when not accustomed to its handling
characteristics may lead to loss of control
and an accident.
Warning
Tyres that have been used on a rolling
road dynamometer may
damaged. In some cases, the damage may
not be visible on the external surface of the
tyre. Tyres must be replaced after such use
as continued use of a damaged tyre may
lead to instability, loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
Accurate wheel balance is necessary for
safe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Do
not remove or change any wheel balance
weights. Incorrect wheel balance may
cause instability leading to loss of control
and an accident.
When wheel balancing is required, such as
after tyre replacement, see your authorised
Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-on
weights may damage the wheel and tyre
resulting in tyre deflation, loss of control
and an accident.
