1. Throttle Grip
2. 2--3 mm
3. ‘Opening’ cable upper adjuster
4. ‘Closing’ cable
THROTTLE CONTROL
WARNING: The throttle grip
controls the throttle valves in
the throttle bodies. If the throttle
cables are incorrectly adjusted, either
too tight or too loose, the throttle may
be
difficult
to
control
and
performance
will
be
adversely
affected.
Check the throttle grip free--play in
accordance
with
scheduled
maintenance requirements and make
adjustments as necessary.
Always be alert for changes in the
‘feel’ of the throttle and have the
throttle system checked by an
authorised Triumph dealer if any
changes are detected. Changes can
be due to wear in the mechanism
which could lead to a sticking throttle.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or
stuck throttle will lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident
Inspection
•
Check that the throttle opens
smoothly, without undue force and
that it closes without sticking. Have
your authorised Triumph dealer
check the throttle system if a problem
is detected or any doubt exists.
•
Check that there is 2--3 mm throttle
grip free--play when lightly turning the
throttle grip back and forth.
•
If there is an incorrect amount of
free--play, Triumph recommend that
you have adjustments made by your
authorised Triumph dealer. However,
in an emergency, throttle adjustment
may be made as follows:
WARNING:
Use of the
motorcycle
with
an
incorrectly
adjusted,
incorrectly
routed, sticking or damaged throttle
cables will interfere with the throttle
function
resulting
in
loss
of
motorcycle control and an accident.
To
avoid
incorrect
adjustment,
incorrect routing, or continued use of
a sticking or damaged throttle, always
have your throttle checked and
adjusted by your authorised Triumph
dealer.
