Tire Replacement - Triumph Tiger 800 Owner's Handbook Manual

Tire Replacement

Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels and
with tires marked 'TUBE TYPE'.
Use of an inner tube with a tire marked
'TUBELESS' and/or on an alloy wheel can
lead to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
Do not install tube-type tires on tubeless
rims. The bead will not seat and the tires
could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire
deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle
control and an accident. Never install an
inner tube inside a tubeless tire. This will
cause friction inside the tire and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the tube
to burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss
of vehicle control and an accident.
Note:
• Some brands of approved tire
marked 'TUBELESS'
suitable for use with an inner tube.
Where this is the case, the tire wall
will be marked
permitting the fitment of an inner
tube.
Maintenance and Adjustment
All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and
extensively tested in a range of riding
conditions to ensure that the most effective
tire combinations are approved for use on
each model. It is essential that approved tires
and inner tubes (if installed) fitted in
approved combinations, are used when
purchasing replacement items. The use of
non-approved tires and inner tubes, or

approved
motorcycle instability, loss of control and an
accident.
On models equipped with ABS, different
wheel speeds, caused by non-approved tires,
can affect the function of the ABS computer.
See the Specification section for details of
approved tire and inner tube combinations.
Always have tires and inner tubes fitted and
balanced by your authorized Triumph dealer
who has the necessary training and skills to
ensure safe, effective fitment.
