General Information
Throttle Control
1. Throttle open position
2. Throttle closed position
3. Cruise control cancel position
This Triumph model has an electronic throttle
twist grip to open and close the throttles via
the engine control unit. There are no
direct-acting cables in the system.
The throttle grip has a resistance feel to it as it
is rolled rearwards to open the throttles.
When the grip is released it will return to the
throttle closed position by its internal return
spring and the throttles will close.
From the closed position, the throttle twist
grip can be rolled forward 3 - 4 mm to
deactivate the cruise control (see page 53).
There are no user adjustments for the throttle
control.
If there is a malfunction with the throttle
control the malfunction indicator light (MIL)
becomes illuminated and one of the
following engine conditions may occur:
• MIL illuminated, restricted engine RPM
and throttle movement;
• MIL illuminated, limp home mode with
the engine at a fast idle condition only;
• MIL illuminated, engine will not start.
For all of the above conditions contact an
authorised Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
Brake Use
At low throttle opening (approximately 20°),
the brakes and throttle can be used together.
At high throttle opening (greater than 20°), if
the brakes are applied for greater than
2 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.
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 control
and an accident. Contact an authorised
Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have
the fault checked and rectified.
