Warning!
- Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and instability problems that may lead to loss of control and an accident.
- Underinflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or coming off the rim. Overinflation will cause instability and accelerated tread wear.
- Both conditions are dangerous as they may cause loss of control leading to an accident.
Warning!
- The tyre pressure monitoring system is not to be used as a tyre pressure gauge when adjusting the tyre pressures. For correct tyre pressures, always check the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold and using an accurate tyre pressure gauge.
- Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may lead to incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
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.
Wheels fitted with a tyre pressure sensor can be identified with the letters TPMS on the side of the tyre valve and/or with a warning label near the tyre valve, as shown in the illustration below.

Function
Tyre pressure sensors are fitted to the front and rear wheels. These sensors measure the air pressure inside the tyre and transmit pressure data to the instruments. These sensors will not transmit the data until the motorcycle is travelling at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will be visible in the display area until the tyre pressure signal is received.
When the battery voltage in a pressure sensor is low, BATTERY LOW FRONT/REAR TYRE will be displayed and a message will indicate which wheel sensor has the low battery voltage. If the batteries are completely flat, only dashes will be shown in the display screen, the red TPMS warning light will be on and the TPMS symbol will flash continuously.
The tyre pressure warning light works in conjunction with the tyre pressure monitoring system.
It will illuminate for the following conditions:
- A tyre pressure sensor battery is completely flat.
- The front and/or the rear tyre pressure drops to or below the pressures listed in the table below.
Tyre Pressure Monitor - Low Pressure Warning Light Activated | |
Front Tyre Pressure | Rear Tyre Pressure |
2.00 bar (29 lb/in²) | 2.48 bar (36 lb/in²) |
When the warning light is illuminated, the TPMS symbol will indicate which is the deflated tyre and its pressure will automatically be visible in the display area.
