Radiator and Hoses
Warning
The fan operates automatically when
the engine is running.
Always keep hands and clothing away
from the fan.
Contact with the rotating fan may
cause an accident and/or personal
injury.
Caution
Using high pressure water sprays,
such as from a car wash facility or
household pressure washer, can
damage the radiator fins, cause leaks
and impair the radiator's efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow
through the radiator by installing
unauthorized accessories, either in
front of the radiator or behind the
cooling fan.
Interference with the radiator airflow
can cause overheating, potentially
resulting in engine damage.
Check the radiator hoses for cracks
or deterioration, and tension clips for
tightness in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements. Have your
authorized Triumph dealer replace any
defective items.
Check the radiator grille and fins for
obstructions by insects, leaves or
mud. Clean off any obstructions with a
stream of low pressure water.
Throttle Control
Warning
Always be alert for changes in the
'feel' of the throttle control and have
the throttle system checked by an
authorized Triumph dealer if any
changes are detected.
Changes can be due to wear in the
mechanism, which could lead to a
sticking throttle control.
A sticking or stuck throttle control will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Throttle Inspection
Warning
Use of the motorcycle with a sticking
or damaged throttle control will
interfere with the throttle function
resulting in loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
To avoid continued use of a sticking or
damaged throttle control, always have
it checked by your authorized Triumph
dealer.
To inspect the throttle:
• Check that the throttle opens
smoothly, without undue force
and that it closes without sticking.
Have your authorized Triumph
dealer check the throttle system if
a problem is detected or any doubt
exists.
