Remove the seat.
Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead
first.
Remove the fuel tank.
Release the lock nuts on the 'opening' cable
adjusters.
Rotate the 'opening' cable adjuster at the
throttle 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 throttle grip. Tighten
the lock nut.
Make any minor adjustments as necessary to
give 2 - 3 mm of play using the adjuster near
the throttle grip end of the cable. Tighten the
adjuster lock nut.
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
'opening' cable, until 2 - 3 mm of play is
present.
Tighten the adjuster lock nuts.
Warning
Ensure that all the adjuster lock nuts of all
cables are tightened, as a loose lock nut
could result in a sticking throttle.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or stuck
throttle can lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Maintenance and Adjustment
Refit the fuel tank.
Reconnect the battery, positive (red) lead first.
Refit the rider's seat.
Check that the throttle opens smoothly,
without undue force and that it closes without
sticking.
Ride carefully to your nearest authorised
Triumph dealer and have him check the
throttle system thoroughly before riding
again.
