Maintenance and Adjustment
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 of throttle grip
free play when lightly turning the throttle grip
back and forth.
If there is an incorrect amount of free play,
Triumph recommends that you have
adjustments made by your authorised
Triumph dealer. However, in an emergency,
throttle adjustment may be made as follows:
Adjustment
1. Opening cable
2. Rubber cover
3. Opening cable adjuster
4. Lock nut
5. Opening cable – free play
measurement point
To adjust the cable free play, slide the rubber
boot to allow access to the adjuster.
Release the lock nut on the 'opening' cable
adjuster.
Rotate the 'opening' cable adjuster at the
twist grip end to give 2 - 3 mm of play at the
twist grip. Tighten the lock nut to
2.5 Nm .
Refit the rubber cover.
Warning
Use of the motorcycle with 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.
