NHTSA Complaint #11387237 — 2016 TRIUMPH TROPHY SE A1

RIGHT HAND THROTTLE CONTROL 'IS STICKING' AND NOTCHY. DIFFICULT TO CHANGE GEAR, DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO 'SYNCHRONIZE ENGINE SPEED' (BLEEP TO GET THE CORRECT THROTTLE ENGINE SPEED) TO ROAD SPEED, BEFORE CHANGING UP, AND DOWN WITH THE GEARS. THUS, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY REAR WHEEL TO SKID. THROTTLE WILL GIVE JERKY MOTIONS. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL THROUGH 'NO FAULT' OF THE RIDER OF MOTORCYCLE. MOTORCYCLES HAVE 'NON-SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSIONS'. THUS, ABLE TO USE ENGINE BREAKING TO SLOW DOWN MOTORCYCLE DOWN BEFORE COMING UP TO A CORNER. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH 'THROTTLE CONTROL' THIS CAN CAUSE INSTABILITY TO MOTORCYCLE AND UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN YOUR STATIONARY, OR MOVING ALONG THE ROAD.
