Maintenance and Adjustment
necessary training and skills to ensure safe,
effective fitment.
Warning
On models fitted with ABS, the ABS
computer operates by comparing the
relative speed of the front and rear wheels.
Use of non-recommended tires can affect
wheel speed and cause the ABS function
not to operate, potentially leading to loss of
control and an accident in conditions
where the ABS would normally function.
Warning
If a tire sustains a puncture, the tire must
be replaced. Failure to replace a
punctured tire, or operation with a
repaired tire can lead to instability, loss of
control or 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 vehicle
control and an accident. Never install an
inner tube inside a tubeless tire. 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 vehicle control and an accident.
Warning
If tire damage is suspected, such as after
striking the curb, ask your authorized
Triumph dealer to inspect the tire both
internally and externally. Remember, tire
damage may not always be visible from
the outside. Operation of the motorcycle
with damaged tires could lead to loss of
control and an accident.
