Maintenance and Adjustment
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(if fitted)
The tyre pressures shown on your instrument
pack 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 increase the inflation pressure.
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 pressure
gauge, and must not use the tyre pressure
display on the instruments.
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:
Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal
tread wear and instability problems that
may lead to loss of control and an accident.
Under-inflation may result in the tyre
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.
Under 130 km/h
(80 mph)

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.
