Maintenance and Adjustment

Tyre Wear
As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre
becomes more susceptible to punctures
and failure. It is therefore not
recommended to use tyres until they are
worn to their minimum.
Minimum Recommended Tread
Depth
In accordance with the periodic
maintenance chart, measure the depth
of the tread with a depth gauge, and
replace any tyre that has worn to, or
beyond the minimum allowable tread
depth specified in the table below:
Under 130 km/h
(80 mph)
2mm (0.08in)
Over 130 km/h
(80 mph)
Rear 3 mm (0.12 in)
Front 2 mm (0.08 in)
Only operate this Triumph motorcycle
at high speed in closed-course
on-road competition or on closed-
course racetracks. High-speed
operation should only then be
attempted by riders who have been
instructed in the techniques
necessary for high-speed riding and
are familiar with the motorcycle's
characteristics in all conditions.
High-speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit
except in authorised closed-course
conditions.
Operation with excessively worn tyres
is hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
When tubeless tyres become
punctured, leakage is often very slow.
Always inspect tyres very closely for
punctures. Check the tyres for cuts,
embedded nails or other sharp
objects. Operation with punctured or
damaged tyres will adversely affect
motorcycle stability and handling
which may lead to loss of control or an
accident.
Check the rims for dents or
deformation. Operation with damaged
or defective wheels or tyres is
dangerous and loss of motorcycle
control or an accident could result.
Always consult your authorised
Triumph dealer for tyre replacement,
or for a safety inspection of the tyres.
