There are two adjusters fitted to the brake lever; a span adjuster and a ratio adjuster.

1. Brake lever
2. Span adjuster
3. Ratio adjuster

Span Adjuster

The span adjuster allows the distance from the handlebar to the lever to be changed to suit the span of the rider's hands.

To adjust the front brake lever span:

• Rotate the span adjuster anticlockwise to decrease the distance to the handlebar or clockwise to increase the distance from the handlebar.
• The distance from the handlebar grip to the released lever is shortest when the span adjuster is rotated fully anticlockwise.

Ratio Adjuster

The ratio adjuster moves the brake master cylinder push rod to the left or right in 1 mm increments from 19 mm to 21 mm.

To adjust the front brake lever ratio:

• Rotate the ratio adjuster to the rider's preferred position. The ratio adjuster can be rotated both clockwise and anticlockwise to set the desired preference.
• An audible click can be heard when the ratio adjuster is locked into position.

  The ratio adjuster has three lever positions:

• 19 (19 mm) for a softer brake feel with a longer lever travel.
• 20 (20 mm) for a firmer brake feel and a medium lever travel.
• 21 (21 mm) for a firm brake feel and a shorter lever travel.

Throttle Control

1. Throttle open position
2. Throttle closed position

All models have 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 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 contact an authorised Triumph dealer as soon as possible to have the fault checked and rectified.
