MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
99
▼ Check that the throttle opens
smoothly, without undue force and
that it closes quickly under its own
return spring force without sticking
and without manual intervention.
▼ Check that there is 0.04 - 0.08 in
(1 - 2 mm) of throttle grip free play
when lightly turning the throttle
grip back and forth.
▼ If a problem is detected or any
doubt exists, or if there is an
incorrect amount of free play, the
throttle system must be inspected
by a competent person with the
specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such
as an authorized Triumph dealer.
Clutch
The motorcycle is equipped with a
cable-operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free
play, the clutch may not disengage
fully. This will cause difficulty in shifting
gear and selecting neutral. This may
cause the engine to stall and make the
motorcycle difficult to control.
Conversely, if the clutch lever has
insufficient free play the clutch may
not engage fully, causing the clutch to
slip, which will reduce performance and
cause premature clutch wear.
Clutch lever free play must be
checked in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Clutch Inspection
▼ Check that there is 0.08 - 0.12 in
clutch lever free play at the lever.
▼ If there is an incorrect amount of
free play, adjustments must be
made.
Clutch Cable Adjustment
▼ Loosen the lock nut at the clutch
lever.
▼ Turn the adjuster sleeve to give
0.12 - 0.2 in (3.0 - 5.0 mm) in straight
handlebar condition of free play.
