Clutch - Triumph Rocket III Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance and Adjustment
Rotate the 'opening' cable adjuster at the
twist grip end such that it has an equal
amount of adjustment in each direction.
Rotate the 'opening' cable adjuster at the
throttle body end of the cable to give
2 - 3 mm of play at the twist grip. Tighten the
locknut.
Make any minor adjustments as necessary to
give 2 - 3 mm of play using the adjuster near
the twist grip end of the cable. Tighten the
locknut.
With the throttle fully closed, ensure that
there is 2 - 3 mm of free play in the 'closing'
cable at the throttle cam attached to the
throttle bodies. If necessary, adjust in the
same way as the 'opening' cable until
2 - 3 mm of play is present.
Warning
Ensure that all 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.
Refit the intake cover, tightening the fixing to
9 Nm.
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 to have the throttle system
thoroughly checked before riding again.

The motorcycle is equipped
cable-operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free play, the
clutch may not disengage fully. This will cause
difficulty in changing gear and selecting
neutral. This may cause the engine to stall
and make the motorcycle difficult to control.
Conversely, if the clutch lever has insufficient
free play the clutch may not engage fully,
causing the clutch to slip, which will reduce
performance and cause premature clutch
wear.
Clutch lever free play must be checked in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
