Warning - Brakes - Pad Friction Material

warning
Always have replacement brake pads supplied and fitted by your Triumph dealer.The ABS calibration is optimised for use with the friction material provided on brake pads supplied by Triumph.The use of proprietary brands of brake pads is not recommended as differing friction material specifications will affect the performance of the ABS, potentially causing loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Warning - Brakes - Pad Carrier Plate Thickness

warning
Brake pads for this model supplied by Triumph are specifically designed for use with the brake calipers fitted to your motorcycle. The use of proprietary brands of brake pads is not recommended as these may have a reduced carrier plate thickness when compared with the Triumph genuine parts. Brake pads with an incorrect carrier plate thickness can potentially become dislodged from the caliper body as they wear, leading to brake failure, loss of motorcycle control and an accident.

Brake pads supplied by Triumph will have the carrier plate at the correct thickness. Always have replacement brake pads supplied and fitted by your Triumph dealer.
