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.
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 installed 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 loss of control or 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 installing, the tire pressures
must be checked and adjusted, and the
tires examined for correct
Rectification must be carried out as
necessary.
The same checks and adjustments must
also be carried out when 100 miles have
been travelled after installing.
Maintenance and Adjustment
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.
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.
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 or inner tube replacement, see
your authorized Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip on
weights may damage the wheel, tire or
seating.
