Operation of the motorcycle with an incorrectly
adjusted, incorrectly routed or damaged throttle
cable could interfere with the operation of the
brakes, clutch or the throttle itself. Any of these
conditions could result in loss of control of the
motorcycle and an accident.
Move the handlebars to left and right full lock while
checking that cables and harnesses do not bind. A
cable or harness that binds will restrict the steering
and may cause loss of control and an accident.

always have your throttle checked and adjusted by
your authorised Triumph dealer.
