Controls
Throttle Control
An electronic throttle twist grip controls
the opening and closing of the throttles
via the engine’s electronic control
module. There are no direct-acting
cables in the system.

1. Throttle closed position (Trident shown)
The throttle grip has a resistive 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.
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 conditions mentioned, the
fault must be checked and rectified by a
competent person with the specialist
knowledge and technical understanding
of motorcycles, such as an authorised
Triumph dealer.
WARNING
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
illuminated. The fault may affect
engine performance, exhaust
emissions and fuel consumption.
The fault must be checked and
rectified by a competent person with
the specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
Reduced engine performance could
cause a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
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 longer
than two 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 reopen the throttle.
