Maintenance and Adjustment
1. Closing cable
2. Throttle cam
With the throttle fully closed, ensure that
there is 0.08-0.12 in (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 0.08-0.12 in (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 authorized
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.
