Throttle Control
WARNING
Always be alert for changes in the
'feel' of the throttle control. Changes
can be due to wear in the mechanism,
which could lead to a sticking or stuck
throttle control.
If any changes are detected, the
throttle system must be inspected by
a competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
A sticking or stuck throttle control
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
Throttle Inspection
WARNING
The throttle grip controls the throttle
valve in the throttle body. If the
throttle cables are incorrectly
adjusted, either too tight or too loose,
the throttle may be difficult to control
and performance will be affected.
Always be alert for changes in the
'feel' of the throttle system. Changes
can be due to wear in the mechanism,
which could lead to a sticking throttle.
Check the throttle grip free play in
accordance with the scheduled
maintenance requirements and, if
necessary, make adjustments.
Inspections and repairs must be
completed by a competent person
with the specialist knowledge and
technical understanding of
motorcycles, such as an authorised
Triumph dealer.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or
stuck throttle may lead to loss of
motorcycle control which could result
in serious injury or death.
