Rear Brake Fluid Level Inspection
and Adjustment
WARNING
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilized
and adequately supported.
Do not support the motorcycle on
any ancillary component, the exhaust
system or any other non structural
parts of the motorcycle frame.
A correctly supported motorcycle will
help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall
resulting in motorcycle damage,
serious injury or death.
WARNING
If there has been an appreciable drop
in the level of the fluid in either fluid
reservoir the brake system must be
inspected.
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.
Riding with depleted brake fluid levels,
or with a brake fluid leak is dangerous
and will cause reduced brake
performance
Contact a competent person with the
specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such
as an authorized Triumph dealer to
inspect and, if necessary, repair the
brake system.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
