Tire Replacement
Note:
• Some brands of approved tire
marked 'TUBELESS' may be
suitable for use with an inner tube.
Where this is the case, the tire wall
will be marked with text
permitting the fitment of an inner
tube.
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and
extensively tested in a range of riding
conditions to ensure that the most effective
tire combinations are approved for use on
each model. It is essential that approved tires
and inner tubes (if installed) fitted in
approved combinations, are used when
purchasing replacement items. The use of
non-approved tires and inner tubes, or
approved tires and inner tubes in non-
approved combinations, may lead to
motorcycle instability, loss of control and an
accident. See the Specification section for
details of approved tire and inner tube
combinations. Always have tires and inner
tubes installed and balanced by your
authorized Triumph dealer who has the
necessary training and skills to ensure safe,
effective mounting.
Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels and
with tires marked 'TUBE TYPE'.
Use of an inner tube with a tire marked
'TUBELESS' and/or on an alloy wheel can
lead to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tires on tubeless
rims. The bead will not seat and the tires
could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire
deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle
control and an accident. Never install an
inner tube inside a tubeless tire. This will
cause friction inside the tire and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the tube
to burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss
of vehicle control and an accident.
Warning
If a tire or inner tube sustains a puncture,
the tire and inner tube must be replaced.
Failure to replace a punctured tire and
inner tube, or operation with a repaired tire
or inner tube can lead to instability, loss of
motorcycle control or an accident.
Warning
If tire or inner tube damage is suspected,
such as after striking the curb, ask your
authorized Triumph dealer to inspect the
tire both internally and externally and to
also inspect the inner tube. Remember, tire
damage may not always be visible from
the outside. Operation of the motorcycle
with damaged tires could lead to loss of
control and an accident.
