Tyre Pressures
WARNING
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is not to be used as a tyre
pressure gauge when adjusting the
tyre pressures.
For correct tyre pressures, always
check the tyre pressures when the
tyres are cold using an accurate tyre
pressure gauge.
Use of the TPMS system to set
inflation pressures may lead to
incorrect tyre pressures leading to
loss of motorcycle control which could
result in serious injury or death.
NOTICE
Do not use anti puncture fluid or any
other item likely to obstruct air flow to
the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any
blockage to the air pressure orifice of
the TPMS sensor during operation will
cause the sensor to become blocked,
causing irreparable damage to the
TPMS sensor assembly.
Damage caused by the use of anti
puncture fluid or incorrect
maintenance is not considered a
manufacturing defect and will not be
covered under warranty.
Always have the tyres fitted by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer. It is
important to inform them that tyre
pressure sensors are fitted to the
wheels before they remove the tyres.
The tyre pressures shown on your
instrument panel indicate the actual
tyre pressure at the time of selecting
the display. This may differ from the
inflation pressure set when the tyres
are cold because tyres become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tyre
to expand and the inflation pressure to
increase. The cold inflation pressures
specified by Triumph take account of
this.
Only adjust tyre pressures when the
tyres are cold using an accurate tyre
pressure gauge, see page 146. Do not
use the tyre pressure display on the
instruments.
Replacement Tyres
When replacing tyres, contact a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical understanding
of motorcycles, such as an authorised
Triumph dealer to fit your tyres and
make sure they are aware that tyre
pressure sensors are fitted to the
wheels.
