Throttle Inspection
WARNING
Use of the motorcycle with a sticking
or damaged throttle control will
interfere with the throttle function.
The throttle may be difficult to control
and performance will be affected.
To avoid continued use of a sticking or
damaged throttle control, 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.
Failure to follow the advice above may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
▼ 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 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 authorised 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 changing
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 2 - 3 mm clutch
lever free play at the lever.
▼ If there is an incorrect amount of
free play, adjustments must be
made.
