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:
Warning
/continued
Always be alert for changes in the
‘feel' of the throttle and have the
throttle system checked by an
authorised 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 authorised
Triumph dealer.
