Maintenance And Adjustment
125
Warning
When replacement tyres or inner tubes
are required, consult your authorised
Triumph dealer who will arrange for the
tyres and inner tubes to be selected, in
a correct combination, from the
approved list and fitted according to
the tyre and inner tube manufacturer's
instructions.
When tyres and inner tubes are
replaced, allow time for the tyres and
inner tubes to seat to the rim
(approximately 24 hours). During this
seating period, ride cautiously as an
incorrectly seated tyre or inner tube
could cause instability, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Initially, the new tyres and inner tubes
will not produce the same handling
characteristics as the worn tyres and
inner tubes and the rider must allow
adequate riding distance
(approximately 100 miles (160 km)) to
become accustomed to the new
handling characteristics.
24 hours after fitting, the tyre
pressures must be checked and
adjusted, and the tyres and inner
tubes examined for correct seating.
Rectification must be carried out as
necessary. The same checks and
adjustments must also be carried out
when 100 miles (160 km) have been
travelled after fitting.
Use of a motorcycle with incorrectly
seated tyres or inner tubes, incorrectly
adjusted tyre pressures, or when not
accustomed to its handling
characteristics may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(Only on models fitted with TPMS)
Caution
An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel
rim to indicate the position of the tyre
pressure sensor. Care must be taken
when replacing the tyres to prevent
any damage to the tyre pressure
sensors. Always have your tyres fitted
by your authorised Triumph dealer and
inform them that tyre pressure
sensors are fitted to the wheels.
Caution
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 wheels.
