Maintenance and Adjustment
Inspection
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.
Check that there is 0.08 - 0.12 in (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 authorized
Triumph dealer. However, in an emergency,
throttle adjustment may be made as follows:
Warning
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.
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
authorized Triumph dealer.
