Warning
When replacement tyres are required,
consult your authorised Triumph
dealer who will arrange for the tyres
to be selected, in a correct
combination, from the approved list
and fitted according to the tyre
manufacturer's instructions.
When tyres are replaced, allow time
for the tyres to seat to the rim
(approximately 24 hours). During this
seating period, ride cautiously as an
incorrectly seated tyre could cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Initially, the new tyres will not produce
the same handling characteristics as
the worn tyres and the rider must
allow adequate riding distance
(approximately 100 miles) to become
accustomed to the new handling
characteristics.
24 hours after fitting, the tyre
pressures must be checked and
adjusted, and the tyres examined for
correct seating. Rectification must be
carried out as necessary.
The same checks and adjustments
must also be carried out when
100 miles have been travelled after
fitting.
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre
pressures, or when not accustomed to
its handling characteristics may lead
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
Tyres that have been used on a rolling
road dynamometer may become
damaged. In some cases, the damage
may not be visible on the external
surface of the tyre.
Tyres must be replaced after such use
as continued use of a damaged tyre
may lead to instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tyres, incorrectly adjusted tyre
pressures, or when not accustomed to
its handling characteristics may lead
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
Accurate wheel balance is necessary
for safe, stable handling of the
motorcycle. Do not remove or change
any wheel balance weights. Incorrect
wheel balance may cause instability
leading to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
When wheel balancing is required,
such as after tyre replacement, see
your authorised Triumph dealer.
Only use self-adhesive weights. Clip-
on weights may damage the wheel
and tyre resulting in tyre deflation,
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
