Maintenance and Adjustment
Warning
Tires that have been used on a rolling road
dynamometer may become damaged. In
some cases, the damage may not be visible
on the external surface of the tire. Tires
must be replaced after such use as
continued use of a damaged tire may lead
to instability, loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated
tires, incorrectly adjusted tire pressures, or
when not accustomed to its handling
characteristics, may lead to 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 tire replacement, see your authorized
Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-on
weights may damage the wheel and tire
resulting in tire deflation, loss of control
and an accident.
