Hand Controls
Throttle Control
An electronic throttle twist grip controls
the opening and closing of the throttles
via the engine’s electronic control
module. There are no direct-acting
cables in the system.
The throttle grip has a resistive feel to it
as it is rolled rearwards to open the
throttles. When the grip is released it
will return to the throttle closed position
by its internal return spring and the
throttles will close.
There are no user adjustments for the
throttle control.

Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
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 control and an
accident. Contact an authorized
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to
have the fault checked and rectified.
If there is a malfunction with the
throttle control the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) becomes
illuminated and one of the following
engine conditions may occur:
▼ MIL illuminated, restricted engine
RPM and throttle movement
▼ MIL illuminated, limp-home mode with
the engine at a fast idle condition
only
▼ MIL illuminated, engine will not start.
For all of the above conditions contact
an authorized Triumph dealer as soon
as possible to have the fault checked
and rectified.
Brake Use
At low throttle opening (approximately
68°F (20°C)), the brakes and throttle can
be used together.
At high throttle opening (greater than
20°), if the brakes are applied for longer
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 reopen the throttle.
