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