MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

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.
▼
If there is an incorrect amount of
free play, Triumph recommends that
you have your authorized Triumph
dealer investigate.
▼
Check that there is 0.04 - 0.08 in
(1 - 2 mm) of throttle grip free play
when lightly turning the throttle
grip back and forth.

The motorcycle is equipped with a
cable-operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free
play, the clutch may not disengage
fully. This will cause difficulty in shifting
gear and selecting neutral. This may
cause the engine to stall and make the
motorcycle difficult to control.
Conversely, if the clutch lever has
insufficient free play the clutch may
not engage fully, causing the clutch to
slip, which will reduce performance and
cause premature clutch wear.
Clutch lever free play must be
checked in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Clutch Inspection
Check that there is 0.08 - 0.12 in (2 -
3 mm) clutch lever free play at the lever.
If there is an incorrect amount of free
play, adjustments must be made.
