Tyre Inflation Pressures
WARNING
Incorrect tyre inflation will cause
abnormal tread wear and instability.
Under inflation may result in the tyre
slipping on, or coming off the rim.
Overinflation will cause accelerated
tread wear and instability.
Both conditions are dangerous and
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
Correct inflation pressure will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and
tyre life. Always check tyre pressures
before riding when the tyres are cold.
Check tyre pressures daily and adjust if
necessary. See the Specification section
for details of the correct inflation
pressures.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if fitted)
NOTICE
An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel
rim to indicate the position of the tyre
pressure sensor.
Care must be taken when replacing
the tyres to prevent any damage to
the tyre pressure sensors.
Always have the tyres fitted by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer. It is
important to inform them that tyre
pressure sensors are fitted to the
wheels before they remove the tyres.
NOTICE
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 the tyres fitted by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer. It is
