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
throttle 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
throttle. When the grip is released it will
return to the throttle closed position by
its internal return spring and the
throttle will close.
From the closed position, the throttle
twist grip can be rolled forward 3 - 4 mm
to deactivate the cruise control (see
page 79).
There are no user adjustments for the
throttle control.

If there is a malfunction with the throttle
control the malfunction indicator light
(MIL) becomes illuminated and one of the
following engine conditions may occur:
• MIL illuminated, restricted engine
RPM and throttle movement
• MIL illuminated, limp-home mode
with the engine at a fast idle
condition only
• MIL illuminated, engine will not start.
For all of the above conditions contact
an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.

Brake Use

At low throttle opening (approximately
20°), the brakes and throttle can be used
together.
At high throttle opening (greater than
20°), if the brakes are applied for more
than two seconds the throttles will close
and the engine speed will reduce. To
return to normal throttle operation,
release the throttle control, release the
brakes and then re-open the throttle.
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the malfunction indicator
illuminated. The fault may adversely
affect engine performance, exhaust
emissions and fuel
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
