Regularly check the bank angle indicators for

Replace the bank angle indicators when the

Warning

Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.

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 authorized 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.
