Maintenance and Adjustment
• Reconnect the battery, positive (red)
lead first.
• Refit the seat.
• Check that the throttle opens
smoothly, without undue force and
that it closes without sticking.
• Ride carefully to your nearest
authorised Triumph dealer and have
him check the throttle system
thoroughly before riding again.
Clutch
1. Clutch cable
The motorcycle is equipped with a
cable-operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free play, the
clutch may not disengage fully and could
then cause the engine to stall and create
difficulties when changing gear. Conversely, if
the clutch lever has insufficient free play the
clutch may not engage fully, causing clutch
slip.
Clutch lever free play must be checked in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Ensure that both the adjuster locknuts of
both cables are tightened, as a loose
locknut could result in a sticking throttle.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or stuck
throttle can lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
