Maintenance and Adjustment
Rotate the 'opening' cable adjuster at the
twist grip end to give 2 - 3 mm of play at the
twist grip. Tighten the lock nut.
1. Closing cable
2. Throttle cam
With the throttle fully closed, ensure that
there is 2 - 3 mm of free play in the 'closing'
cable at the throttle cam attached to the
throttle bodies. This is accessible from the
right hand side of the motorcycle, below the
fuel tank (it is not necessary to remove the
fuel tank). If necessary, adjust in the same
way as the 'opening' cable (at the twist grip
end) until 2 - 3 mm of play is present.
Check that the throttle opens smoothly,
without undue force and that it closes without
sticking.
Ride carefully to your nearest authorised
Triumph dealer and have them check the
throttle system thoroughly before riding
again.
Ensure that all the adjuster lock nuts of
both cables are tightened, as a loose lock
nut could result in a sticking throttle.
An incorrectly adjusted, sticking or stuck
throttle can lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
