Maintenance and Adjustment

Adjustment

Warning
Use of the motorcycle with incorrectly
adjusted, incorrectly routed, sticking or
damaged throttle cables could interfere
with the throttle function resulting in loss of
control of the motorcycle and an accident.
To avoid incorrect adjustment, incorrect
routing, or continued use of a sticking or
damaged throttle, always have the throttle
checked and adjusted by your authorized
Triumph dealer.
Note:
• Minor adjustments can be made
using the adjusters near the twist
grip end of the throttle. Where a
correct setting cannot be achieved
in this way, the adjusters at the
throttle body end must be used.
The 'opening' cable must be set
first followed by the 'closing' cable.
• Remove the seat.
• Disconnect the battery negative,
(black) lead first.
• Set the 'opening' cable adjuster at
the twist grip end such that it has an
equal amount of adjustment in each
direction.

• Set the 'opening' cable adjuster at
the throttle body end of the cable to
give 0.08 - 0. 1 2 in (2 - 3 mm) of
play at the twist grip. Tighten the
locknut.
