Always have your tires mounted

and inform them that tire pressure
sensors are installed on the wheels.
The tire pressures shown on the

instrument display indicate the actual
tire pressure at the time of selecting
the TPMS. This may differ from the
inflation pressure set when the tires
are cold because tires become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tire
to expand and the inflation pressure to
increase. The cold inflation pressures
specified by Triumph take account of
this.
Only adjust tire pressures when the
tires are cold using an accurate tire

Warning
Failure to perform these checks
every day before you ride may result
in serious motorcycle damage or an
accident causing serious injury or
death.
Check the following items each day

before you ride. The time required is
minimal, and these checks will help make
sure you have a safe, reliable ride.
If any irregularities are found during
these checks, refer to the Maintenance
and Adjustment section or see your
authorized Triumph dealer for the action
required to return the motorcycle to a
