Tyre Replacement
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully
and extensively tested in a range of
riding conditions to ensure that the
most effective tyre combinations are
approved for use on each model. It is
essential that approved tyres and inner
tubes (if installed) fitted in approved
combinations, are used when
purchasing replacement items. The use
of non-approved tyres and inner tubes,
or approved tyres and inner tubes in
non-approved combinations, may lead
to motorcycle instability, loss of control
and an accident.
A list of approved tyres and inner tubes
specific to your motorcycle are available
from your authorised Triumph dealer, or
on the Internet at www.triumph.co.uk.
Always have tyres and inner tubes
fitted and balanced by your authorised
Triumph dealer who has the necessary
training and skills to ensure safe,
effective fitment.
Different wheel speeds, caused by non-
approved tyres, can affect the function
of the ABS computer.
Warning
The ABS system operates by
comparing the relative speed of the
front and rear wheels. Use of non-
recommended tyres 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 tyre or inner tube sustains a
puncture, the tyre and inner tube
must be replaced. Failure to replace a
punctured tyre and inner tube, or
operation with a repaired tyre or inner
tube can lead to instability, loss of
motorcycle control or an accident.
Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels
and with tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.
Use of an inner tube with a tyre
marked 'TUBELESS' and/or on an alloy
wheel can lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tyres on
tubeless rims. The bead will not seat
and the tyres could slip on the rims,
causing rapid tyre deflation that may
result in a loss of vehicle control and
an accident. Never install an inner tube
inside a tubeless tyre. This will cause
friction inside the tyre and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the
tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre
deflation, loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
