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.
• 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.
