Maintenance and Adjustment
115
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(if fitted)
The tyre pressures shown on the
instruments 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.
Only adjust tyre pressures when the
tyres are cold using an accurate
pressure gauge, and don’t 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 estimated that 90% of
all tyre problems occur during the last
10% of tread life (90% worn). 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 80 mph
(130 km/h)
2mm (0.08in)
Over 80 mph
(130 km/h)
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.
