Maintenance and Adjustment
Tyre Inflation Pressures
Correct tyre inflation pressures 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 Specification
section for correct inflation pressures).
Alternatively, ask your authorised Triumph
dealer to inspect your wheels and tyres.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(if fitted)
The tyre pressures shown on your
instruments indicate the actual tyre pressure
at the time of selecting the display. This may
differ from the inflation pressure set when the
tyres are cold because tyres become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tyre to
expand and increase the inflation pressure.
The cold inflation pressures specified by
Triumph take account of this.
Owners must only adjust tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold using an accurate pressure
gauge, and must not use the tyre pressure
display on the instruments.
Incorrect tyre 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 tyre
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.
Tyre pressures which have been reduced
for off-road riding will impair on-road
stability. Always ensure the tyre pressures
are set as described in the Specification
section for on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with incorrect
tyre pressures may cause loss of
motorcycle control leading to an accident.
