Maintenance and Adjustment
Warning
When replacement tyres are required,
consult your authorised Triumph dealer
who will arrange for the tyres to be
selected, in a correct combination, from the
approved list and fitted according to the
tyre manufacturer's instructions.
When tyres are replaced, allow time for the
tyres to seat 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 tyres will not produce the
same handling characteristics as the worn
tyres and the rider must allow adequate
riding distance (approximately 100 miles)
to become accustomed to the new
handling characteristics.
24 hours after fitting, the tyre pressures
must be checked and adjusted, and the
tyres 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 fitting.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly seated
tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures, or
when not accustomed to its handling
characteristics may lead to loss of control
and an accident.

Tyres that have been used on a rolling
road dynamometer
damaged. In some cases, the damage may
not be visible on the external surface of the
tyre. Tyres must be replaced after such use
as continued use of a damaged tyre 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 tyre replacement, see your authorised
seating.
Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip on
weights may damage the wheel and tyre
resulting in tyre deflation, loss of control
and an accident.
