Tyre Pressures
The tyre pressures shown on your
instrument panel 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 the pressure to increase.
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 tyre pressure gauge (see
page 118), and must not use the tyre
pressure display on the instruments.
Replacement Tyres
When replacing tyres, make sure they
are aware that tyre pressure sensors
are fitted to the wheels and always have
an authorised Triumph dealer fit your
tyres (see page 120).
The tyre pressure monitoring system
is not to be used as a tyre pressure
gauge when adjusting the tyre
pressures. For correct tyre pressures,
always check the tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold and using an
accurate tyre pressure gauge (see
page 118).
Use of the TPMS system to set
inflation pressures may lead to
incorrect tyre pressures leading to
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Do not use anti puncture fluid or any
other item likely to obstruct air flow to
the TPMS sensor’s orifices. Any
blockage to the air pressure orifice of
the TPMS sensor during operation will
cause the sensor to become blocked,
causing irreparable damage to the
TPMS sensor assembly.
Damage caused by the use of
anti puncture fluid or incorrect
maintenance is not considered a
manufacturing defect and will not be
covered under warranty.
Always have your tyres fitted by your
authorised Triumph dealer and inform
them that tyre pressure sensors are
fitted to the wheel.
