Brake Use
Warning
Reduce speed and do not continue
to ride for longer than is necessary
with the malfunction indicator light
illuminated. The fault may adversely
affect engine performance, exhaust
emissions and fuel consumption.
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Contact an authorized Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked and rectified.
At low throttle opening (approximately
68°F (20°C)), the brakes and throttle can
be used together.
At high throttle opening (greater than
68°F (20°C)), 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.
Brake and Clutch Lever
Adjusters
Warning
Do not attempt to adjust the levers
with the motorcycle in motion as this
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
After adjusting the levers, operate the
motorcycle in an area free from traffic
to gain familiarity with the new lever
setting.
Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone
as they may change the lever setting
from the one you are familiar with
causing loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
An adjuster is mounted to both the
front brake and clutch levers. The
adjusters allow the distance from the
handlebar to the lever to be changed to
suit the span of the rider's hands.
