Maintenance and Adjustment
Tire Inflation Pressures
Correct tire inflation pressures will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and tire life.
Always check tire pressures before riding
when the tires are cold. Check tire pressures
daily and adjust if necessary (see Specification
section for correct inflation pressures).
Alternatively, ask your authorized Triumph
dealer to inspect your wheels and tires.
Tire Wear
As the tire tread wears down, the tire
becomes more susceptible to punctures. It is
estimated that 90% of all tire problems occur
during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn).
It is therefore not recommended to use tires
until they are worn to their minimum.
Incorrect tire inflation will cause abnormal
tread wear and instability problems which
may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Under-inflation may result in the tire
slipping on, or coming off the rim.
Over-inflation will cause instability and
accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they may
cause loss of control leading to an accident.
