Triumph Rocket 3 R User Manual

Maintenance
135
During the breaking-in period, avoid
extreme braking, ride with caution and
allow for greater braking distances.
Brake Pad Wear Compensation
Warning
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 and hoses or
the brakes may be defective.
It is dangerous to operate the
motorcycle under such conditions and
your authorized Triumph dealer must
rectify the fault before riding.
Riding with defective brakes may lead
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Disc and brake pad wear is
automatically compensated for and has
no effect on the brake lever or pedal
action. There are no parts that require
adjustment on the front and rear
brakes.
Disc Brake Fluid
Warning
Brake fluid is hygroscopic which
means it will absorb moisture from the
air.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly
reduce the boiling point of the brake
fluid causing a reduction in braking
efficiency.
Because of this, always replace brake
fluid in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Always use new brake fluid from a
sealed container and never use fluid
from an unsealed container or from
one which has been previously opened.
Do not mix different brands or grades
of brake fluid.
Check for fluid leakage around brake
installed, seals and joints and also
check the brake hoses for splits,
deterioration and damage.
Always rectify any faults before riding.
Failure to observe and act upon any
of these items may cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
control and an accident.
