Warning
If a tire sustains a puncture, the tire must
be replaced. Failure to replace a punctured
tire, or operation with a repaired tire, can
lead to instability, loss of control or an
accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tires on tubeless
rims. The bead will not seat and the tires
could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire
deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle
control and an accident. Never install an
inner tube inside a tubeless tire. 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 vehicle control and an accident.
Warning
If tire damage is suspected, such as after
striking the curb, ask your authorized
Triumph dealer to inspect the tire both
internally and externally. Remember, tire
damage may not always be visible from
the outside. Operation of the motorcycle
with damaged tires could lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Maintenance and Adjustment
Warning
When replacement tires are required,
consult your authorized Triumph dealer
who will arrange for the tires to be
selected, in a correct combination, from the
approved list and mounted according to
the tire manufacturer's instructions.
When tires are replaced, allow time for the
tires to seat to the rim (approximately
24 hours). During this seating period, ride
cautiously as an incorrectly seated tire
could cause instability, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Initially, the new tires will not produce the
same handling characteristics as the worn
tires and the rider must allow adequate
riding distance (approximately 100 miles)
to become accustomed to the new
handling characteristics.
24 hours after
pressures must be checked and adjusted,
and the tires examined for correct seating.
Rectification must be carried out as
necessary.
The same checks and adjustments must
also be carried out when 100 miles have
been travelled after installation.
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated
tires, incorrectly adjusted tire pressures, or
when not accustomed to its handling
characteristics, may
motorcycle control and an accident.
