Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection
and Adjustment
Speed Twin 1200 and Thruxton RS
Warning
If there has been an appreciable drop
in the level of the fluid in either fluid
reservoir, consult your authorized
Triumph dealer for advice 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.

To inspect the front brake fluid level:

Loosen the reservoir cap retaining

Fill the reservoir to the MAX level
line using new DOT 4 brake fluid
