If a tyre or inner tube sustains a puncture, the tyre and inner tube must be replaced
together. Failure to replace a punctured tyre and inner tube together, or operation
with a repaired tyre or inner tube can lead to instability, loss of motorcycle control or
an accident.
If tyre or inner tube damage is suspected, such as after striking the kerb, ask your
authorised Triumph dealer to inspect the tyre both internally and externally and to
also inspect the inner tube. Remember, tyre damage may not always be visible from
the outside. Operation of the motorcycle with damaged tyres could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
When replacing a 'TUBE-TYPE' tyre on a spoked wheel, always inspect the rim tape
(rim protection band) to ensure that it is correctly protecting the tube from the spoke
threads. A damaged rim tape may lead to rapid tyre deflation causing loss of control
and an accident.
Do not install tube-type tyres on tubeless rims. The bead will not seat and the tyres
could slip on the rims, causing tyre deflation that may result in a loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Do not install an inner tube inside a tubeless tyre unless it is clearly marked on the side
wall that you can do so. This may cause instability and excessive heat build-up may
cause the tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
The use of tyres other than those listed at your authorised Triumph dealer, or on the
internet, at www.triumph.co.uk, may adversely affect handling leading to loss of
motorcycle control or an accident. Use the recommended tyre options only in the
combinations listed at your authorised Triumph dealer, or on the internet at
www.triumph.co.uk. Do not mix tyres from different manufacturers or tyres from the
same manufacturer but from another option.
