MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
141
Radiator and Hoses
CAUTION
The fan operates automatically when
the engine is running.
Always keep hands and clothing away
from the fan.
Contact with the rotating fan could
result in minor to moderate injury.
NOTICE
Using high pressure water sprays,
such as from a car wash facility or
household pressure washer, can
damage the radiator fins, cause leaks
and impair the radiator's efficiency.
Do not obstruct or deflect airflow
through the radiator by installing
unauthorised accessories, either in
front of the radiator or behind the
cooling fan.
Interference with the radiator airflow
can cause overheating, potentially
resulting in engine damage.
Check the radiator hoses for cracks or
deterioration, and tension clips for
tightness in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements. Any
defective items must be replaced by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical understanding
of motorcycles, such as an authorised
Triumph dealer.
Check the radiator grille and fins for
obstructions by insects, leaves or mud.
Clean off any obstructions with a
stream of low pressure water.
Throttle Control
WARNING
Always be alert for changes in the
'feel' of the throttle control. Changes
can be due to wear in the mechanism,
which could lead to a sticking or stuck
throttle control.
If any changes are detected, the
throttle system must be inspected by
a competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
A sticking or stuck throttle control
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
