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:
1. Opening cable adjuster
2. Closing cable adjuster
3. Locknuts
4. Closing cable - free play
measurement point
5. Opening cable - free play
measurement point
Note:
• Minor adjustments can be made
using the adjusters near the twist
grip end of the throttle. Where a
correct setting cannot be achieved
in this way, the adjusters at the
throttle body end must be used.
The 'opening' cable must be set
first followed by the 'closing' cable.
Adjustment
Remove the seat.
Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead
first.
Remove the intake cover as described in the
Cooling section.
Release the locknut on the 'opening' cable
adjuster.
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.
