made by your authorised Triumph dealer. However, in an emergency, throttle adjustment may
be made as follows:

2. Closing cable adjuster
3. Closing cable – free play

Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead
first.
Remove the fuel tank.
Release the locknuts on the 'opening' cable
adjusters.
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 to 2.5 Nm.
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 at the
throttle body end in the same way as the
2
'opening' cable, until 2 - 3 mm of play is
present.
