Radiator and Hoses
Warning
The fan operates automatically when
the engine is running. Always keep
hands and clothing away from the fan
as contact with the rotating fan can
cause injury.
Caution
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 hose clips for
tightness in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements. Have your
authorised Triumph dealer replace any
defective items.
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
Use of the motorcycle with a sticking
or damaged throttle control will
interfere with the throttle function
resulting in loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
To avoid continued use of a sticking or
damaged throttle control, always have
it checked by your authorised Triumph
dealer.
Inspection
Check that the throttle opens smoothly,
without undue force and that it closes
without sticking. Have your authorised
Triumph dealer check the throttle
system if a problem is detected or any
doubt exists.
Check that there is 1-2 mm of throttle
grip free play when lightly turning the
throttle grip back and forth.
If there is an incorrect amount of free
play, Triumph recommends that you
have your authorised Triumph dealer
investigate.
