The gap for the Hall Effect pick-up coil, located behind the right engine cover, was changed during production due to warranty issues, the following was sent out as a statement;
Affected Models: Bonneville/T100, America, Speedmaster, Thruxton and Scrambler.
Should a bike (see above) demonstrate faulty ignition coil type symptoms (most commonly an engine misfire), please initially check and adjust the ignition pick-up (IPU) air gap (we recommend an air gap of 0.8mm).
Since changing the IPU air gap in production to 0.8mm, we have had no ignition coil warranty claims.
Triumph manual, chapter 16, page 47 has the alignment procedure...
Thanks to members Sightglass for originally posting this and TonyG pointing out that it should be in the tech vault.
