Throttle Control
2
1
1. Throttle open position
2. Throttle closed position
All models have an electronic throttle
twist grip to open and close the
throttles via the engine control unit.
There are no direct-acting cables in the
system.
The throttle grip has a resistive feel to
it as it is rolled rearwards to open the
throttles. When the grip is released it
will return to the throttle closed position
by its internal return spring and the
throttles will close.
There are no user adjustments for the
throttle control.
If there is a malfunction with the
throttle control the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) becomes
illuminated and one of the following
engine conditions may occur:
▼
MIL illuminated, restricted engine
RPM and throttle movement
▼
MIL illuminated, limp-home mode
with the engine at a fast idle
condition only
▼
MIL illuminated, engine will not start.
For all of the conditions mentioned
contact an authorized Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
illuminated.
The fault may adversely affect engine
performance, exhaust emissions and
fuel consumption.
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of control and an
accident. Contact an authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to
have the fault checked and rectified.
Brake Use
At low throttle opening (approximately
20°), the brakes and throttle can be
used together.
At high throttle opening (greater than
20°), if the brakes are applied for more
than two seconds the throttles will
close and the engine speed will reduce.
To return to normal throttle operation,
release the throttle control, release the
brakes and then re-open the throttle.
