Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped)
Caution
An adhesive label is installed to the
wheel rim to indicate the position of
the tire pressure sensor.
Care must be taken when replacing
the tires to prevent any damage to
the tire pressure sensors.
Always have your tires mounted
by your authorized Triumph dealer
and inform them that tire pressure
sensors are installed on the wheels.
Caution
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 your tires mounted
by your authorized Triumph dealer
and inform them that tire pressure
sensors are installed on the wheels.
The tire pressures shown on your
instruments indicate the actual tire
pressure at the time of selecting
the display. This may differ from the
inflation pressure set when the tires
are cold because tires become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tire
to expand and increase the inflation
pressure. The cold inflation pressures
specified by Triumph take account of
this.
Only adjust tire pressures when
the tires are cold using an accurate
pressure gage. Do not use the tire
pressure display on the instruments.
Tire Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully
and extensively tested in a range of
riding conditions to make sure that
the most effective tire combinations
are approved for use on each model.
It is essential that approved tires and
inner tubes (if installed) mounted in
approved combinations, are used when
purchasing replacement items. The use
of non-approved tires and inner tubes,
or approved tires and inner tubes in
non-approved combinations, may lead
to motorcycle instability, loss of control
and an accident.
A list of approved tires and inner tubes
specific to your motorcycle are available
from your authorized Triumph dealer, or
on the Internet at www. triumph. co. uk.
Always have tires and inner tubes
mounted and balanced by your
authorized Triumph dealer who has the
necessary training and skills to ensure
safe, effective installation.
