Maintenance
146
Caution
Using high pressure water sprays,
such as from a car wash facility or
household pressure washer, can
damage the radiator fins, cause leaks
and impair the radiator's efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow
through the radiator by installing
unauthorised accessories, either in
front of the radiator or behind the
cooling fan. Interference with the
radiator airflow can cause overheating,
potentially resulting in engine damage.
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or
deterioration, and hose clips for
tightness in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements. Have your
authorised Triumph dealer replace any
defective items.
Check the radiator grille and fins for
obstructions by insects, leaves or mud.
Clean off any obstructions with a
stream of low pressure water.
Throttle Control
Warning
Always be alert for changes in the 'feel'
of the throttle control 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 control.
A sticking or stuck throttle control will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
