This Triumph model has an electronic
throttle twist grip to open and close the
throttles via the engine control unit.
There are no direct-acting cables in the
system.
The throttle grip has a resistive feel to it
as it is rolled rearwards to open the
throttles. When the grip is released it
will return to the throttle closed position
by its internal return spring and the
throttles will close.
From the closed position, the throttle
twist grip can be rolled forward 0.12 -
0.16 in (3 - 4 mm) to deactivate the
cruise control (see page 59).
There are no user adjustments for the
throttle control.
If there is a malfunction with the
throttle
control
the
Malfunction
Indicator
Light
(MIL)
becomes
illuminated and one of the following
engine conditions may occur:
• MIL illuminated, restricted engine
RPM and throttle movement
• MIL illuminated, limp-home mode
with the engine at a fast idle
condition only
• MIL illuminated, engine will not
start.
For all of the above conditions contact
an authorized Triumph dealer as soon
as possible to have the fault checked
and rectified.
Brake Use
At low throttle opening (approximately
20°), the brakes and throttle can be
used together.
At high throttle opening (greater than
20°), if the brakes are applied for
greater than two seconds the throttles
will close and the engine speed will
reduce. To return to normal throttle
operation, release the throttle control,
release the brakes and then reopen the
throttle.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the MIL illuminated. The fault may
adversely affect engine performance,
exhaust
emissions
and
fuel
consumption.
Reduced
engine
performance could cause a dangerous
