Maintenance and Adjustment
Radiator and Hoses
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or
deterioration, and hose clips for tightness in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements. Have your authorised 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
1. Throttle grip
2. 2 - 3 mm
Warning
The fan operates automatically when the
engine is running. Always keep hands and
clothing away from the fan as contact with
the rotating fan can cause 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 unauthorised
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.
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.
