?
The throttle grip controls the throttle valves in the
throttle bodies. If the throttle cables are incorrectly
adjusted, either too tight or too loose, the throttle
may be difficult to control and performance will be
adversely affected.
Check the throttle grip free-play in accordance with
scheduled maintenance requirements and make
adjustments as necessary.
Always be alert for changes in the 'feel' of the
throttle and have the throttle system checked by an
authorised Triumph dealer if any changes are
detected. Changes can be due to wear in the
mechanism, which could lead to a sticking throttle.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or stuck throttle will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Removal
Note:
• Prior to removal, clearly identify the
opening and closing cables so that they
may be refitted in the correct positions.
1. Remove the rider's seat.
