Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it will absorb moisture from the air. The
absorbed moisture will greatly reduce the boiling point of the brake fluid causing a
reduction in braking efficiency.
Replace brake fluid in line with the Scheduled Maintenance chart. A dangerous riding
condition could result if this important maintenance item is neglected.
Do not spill brake fluid onto any area of the bodywork as this will damage any painted
or plastic surface.
Always use new brake fluid from a sealed container and never use fluid from an
unsealed container or from one that has been previously opened.
Do not mix different brands of fluid. Check for fluid leakage around brake fittings,
seals and joints.
Check regularly for brake hose damage.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE ABOVE WARNINGS MAY REDUCE BRAKING
EFFICIENCY LEADING TO LOSS OF MOTORCYCLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
If there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the fluid in either brake fluid
reservoir, consult your authorised Triumph dealer before riding.
If the brake lever or pedal feels soft when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal travel
becomes excessive, there may be air in the brake lines or the brake may be defective.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle under such conditions and you must have
your authorised Triumph dealer take remedial action before you attempt to ride the
motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency
leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
