Triumph Rocket 3 R User Manual

Maintenance
147
When replacement tires or inner tubes
are required, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer who will arrange for the
tires and inner tubes to be selected,
in a correct combination, from the
approved list and mounted according to
the tire and inner tube manufacturer's
instructions.
Initially, the new tires and inner tubes
will not produce the same handling
characteristics as the worn tires and
inner tubes and the rider must allow
adequate riding distance (approximately
100 miles (160 km)) to become
accustomed to the new handling
characteristics.
24 hours after mounting, the tire
pressures must be checked and
adjusted, and the tires and inner
tubes examined for correct seating.
Rectification must be carried out as
necessary. The same checks and
adjustments must also be carried out
when 100 miles (160 km) have been
traveled after mounting.
Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles equipped with spoked
wheels and with tires marked 'TUBE
TYPE'.
Some brands of approved tires marked
'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use
with an inner tube. Where this is the
case, the tire wall will be marked with
text permitting the installation of an
inner tube.
Warning Continued
Use of an inner tube with a tire
marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked
as suitable for use with an inner
tube, or use of an inner tube on
an alloy wheel marked 'SUITABLE
FOR TUBELESS TYRES' will cause
deflation of the tire resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Do not install tube type tires on
tubeless rims.
The bead will not seat and the tires
could slip on the rims, causing rapid
tire deflation that may result in a loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a
tubeless tire without the appropriate
marking. This will cause friction inside
the tire and the resulting heat build-
up may cause the tube to burst
resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
If a tire or inner tube sustains a
puncture, the tire and inner tube must
be replaced.
Failure to replace a punctured tire
and inner tube, or operation with a
repaired tire or inner tube can lead to
instability, loss of motorcycle control
or an accident.
