Throttle Control

1. Throttle open position
2. Throttle closed position
3. Cruise control cancel position
This Triumph model has an electronic
throttle twist grip to open and close the
throttles via the engine control unit.
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.
From the closed position, the throttle
twist grip can be rolled
0.12 - 0.16 in (3 - 4 mm) to deactivate the
cruise control (see page 58).
There are no user adjustments for the
throttle control.
