Removal - Triumph Speed Triple Service Manual

Accurate wheel balance is necessarv for safe, stable
I
handling of the motorcycle. Do not remove or
change any wheel galance weights. Incorrect wheel
balance may cause instability leading to loss of
control and an accident.
When wheel balancing is required, such as after tyre
replacement, see your authorised Triumph Dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip on weights will
damage the wheel and tyre resulting in tyre
deflation, loss of control and an accident.
When replacement tyres are required, consult your
authorised Triumph Dealer who will arrange for the
tyres to be fitted according to the tyre manufacturers
instructions.
When tyres are replaced, allow time for the tyre to
seat itself to the rim (approximately 24 hours).
During this seating period, ride cautiously as an
incorrectly seated tyre could cause loss of control or
an accident. Initially, the new tyre will not produce
the same handling characteristics as the worn tyre
and the rider must allow adequate riding distance
(approximately 100 miles) to become accustomed to
the new handling characteristics.
After both 24 hours and 100 miles, the tyre
pressures-should-be-checked-and-adjusted and-the
tyre examined for correct seating and rectified as
necessary.
Use of a motorcycle when not accustomed to its
handling characteristics may lead to loss of control
and an accident.
