General Information
65
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 authorised 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.
Brake and Clutch Lever
Adjusters
1. Adjuster wheel, brake lever shown
2. Arrow mark
An adjuster is fitted to both the front
brake and clutch levers. The adjusters
allow the distance from the handlebar to
the lever to be changed to one of five
positions for the front brake lever or
four positions for the clutch lever, to suit
the span of the operator's hands.
To adjust the lever, push the lever
forward and turn the adjuster wheel to
align one of the numbered positions with
the arrow mark on the lever holder.
The distance from the handlebar grip to
the released lever is shortest when set
to number five, and longest when set to
number one.
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
riding condition, leading to loss of
control and an accident. Contact an
authorised Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
