General Information
106
Brake Use
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the
malfunction
indicator
light
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 motorcycle control
and an accident.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified.
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 more
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 re-open the throttle.
Brake and Clutch Lever Adjusters
Warning
Do not attempt to adjust the lever with
the motorcycle in motion as this may
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
Continued
After adjusting the lever, operate the
motorcycle in an area free from traffic
to gain familiarity with the new lever
setting. Do not loan your motorcycle to
anyone as they may change the lever
setting from the one you are familiar
with causing loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.

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.
