Tyre Replacement - Triumph Tiger 800 User Manual

Tyre Replacement

Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels and
with tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.
Use of an inner tube with a tyre marked
'TUBELESS' and/or on an alloy wheel can
lead to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tyres on tubeless
rims. The bead will not seat and the tyres
could slip on the rims, causing rapid tyre
deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle
control and an accident. Never install an
inner tube inside a tubeless tyre. This will
cause friction inside the tyre and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the tube
to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation,
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Note:
• Some brands of approved tyre
marked 'TUBELESS'
suitable for use with an inner tube.
Where this is the case, the tyre
wall will be marked with text
permitting the fitment of an inner
tube.
Maintenance and Adjustment
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and
extensively tested in a range of riding
conditions to ensure 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, are used when
purchasing replacement items. The use of
non-approved tyres and inner tubes, or
approved tyres and inner tubes in non-
approved combinations,
motorcycle instability, loss of control and an
accident.
On models fitted with ABS, different wheel
speeds, caused by non-approved tyres, can
affect the function of the ABS computer.
See the Specification section for details of
approved tyre and inner tube combinations.
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.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(Only on models fitted with TPMS)
An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel rim
may be
to indicate the position of the tyre pressure
sensor. Care must be taken when replacing
the tyres to prevent any damage to the tyre
pressure sensors. Always have your tyres
fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer
and inform them that tyre pressure sensors
are fitted to the wheels.
