Throttle Control
Warning
Use of the motorcycle with a sticking
or damaged throttle control will
interfere with the throttle function
resulting in loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
To avoid continued use of a sticking or
damaged throttle control, always have
it checked by your authorized Triumph
dealer.
Inspection
Check that the throttle opens smoothly,
without undue force and that it closes
without sticking. Have your authorized
Triumph dealer check the throttle
system if a problem is detected or any
doubt exists.
Check that there is 0.04 - 0.08 in
(1 - 2 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 your authorized Triumph dealer
investigate.
Clutch
The motorcycle is equipped with a
hydraulically operated clutch that does
not require adjustment.
Clutch Fluid Level Inspection and
Adjustment
Warning
If there has been an appreciable drop
in the level of the fluid in the clutch
fluid reservoir, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer for advice before riding.
Riding with depleted clutch fluid levels,
or with a clutch fluid leak is dangerous
and could potentially lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Use only DOT 4 specification clutch
fluid as listed in the Specification
section of this handbook.
The use of clutch fluids other than
those DOT 4 fluids listed in the
Specification section may reduce the
efficiency of the clutch system leading
to an accident.
Failure to change the clutch fluid at
the interval specified in the scheduled
maintenance chart may reduce clutch
efficiency resulting in an accident.
Inspect the level of clutch fluid in
the reservoir and change the fluid
in accordance with the scheduled
maintenance requirements. The clutch
fluid must also be changed if it becomes,
or is suspected of having become
contaminated with moisture or any
other contaminants.
