Maintenance and Adjustment
If the brake fluid in either reservoir has
become, or is suspected of having become
contaminated, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer for advice, before riding.
Contaminated brake fluid may cause the
brakes to become defective. Riding with
defective brakes may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
If there has been an appreciable drop in
the level of fluid in either fluid reservoir,
consult your authorized Triumph dealer
before riding. Riding with depleted brake
fluid levels or with a brake fluid leak is
dangerous and will cause reduced brake
performance potentially leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
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 the 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
fittings, 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 motorcycle
control and an accident.
