Tire Pressures

The tire pressures shown on your instrument
panel indicate the actual tire pressure at the
time of selecting the display. This may differ
from the inflation pressure set when the tires
are cold because tires become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tire to
expand and the inflation pressure to increase.
The cold inflation pressures specified by
Triumph take account of this.
Owners must adjust tire pressures only when
the tires are cold, using an accurate tire
pressure gauge (see page 144), and must not
use the tire pressure display on the
instruments.
Warning
The tire pressure monitoring system is not
to be used as a tire pressure gauge when
adjusting the tire pressures. For correct tire
pressures, always check the tire pressures
when the tires are cold, using an accurate
tire pressure gauge (see page 144).
Use of the TPMS system to set inflation
pressures may lead to incorrect tire
pressures leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.

Replacement Tires

When replacing tires, always have an
authorized Triumph dealer mount your tires
and ensure they are aware that tire pressure
sensors are mounted to the wheels (see
page 146).
General Information
Triumph Traction Control
(TTC)
Warning
Triumph Traction Control is not a substitute
for riding appropriately for the prevailing
road and weather conditions. The traction
control cannot prevent loss of traction due
to:
• excessive speed when entering turns;
• accelerating at a sharp lean angle;
• braking.
Traction control can not prevent the front
wheel from slipping.
Failure to observe any of the above may
result in loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Triumph Traction Control helps to maintain
traction when accelerating on wet/slippery
road surfaces. If sensors detect that the rear
wheel is losing traction (slipping), the traction
control system will engage and alter the
engine power until traction to the rear wheel
has been restored. The traction control
warning light will flash while it is engaged
and the rider may notice a change to the
sound of the engine.
Note:
• Traction control will not function if
there is a malfunction with the ABS
system. The warning lights for the
ABS, traction control and the MIL
will be illuminated.
