Rear Brake Fluid Level Inspection
and Adjustment
citi
1
2
1. Upper level line, rear brake
2. Lower level line, rear brake
To inspect the rear brake fluid level,
remove the right hand side panel as
described in the General Information
section.
The brake fluid level in the rear
reservoir must be kept between the
upper and lower level lines.
To adjust the rear brake fluid level,
release the reservoir from the airbox
without detaching the connecting hose.
Release the cap screws and detach the
cover noting the position of the sealing
diaphragm.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level line
using new DOT 4 from a sealed
container.
Re-install the reservoir cap ensuring
that the diaphragm seal is correctly
positioned between the cap and the
reservoir body. Tighten the cap
retaining screws to 13lbin (1.5Nm).
Retain the reservoir to the airbox by
tightening the original fixing to 44lbin
(5 Nm).
Re-install the right hand side panel.
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.
Brake Light Switches
The brake light is activated
independently by either the front or
rear brake. If, with the ignition in the ON
position, the brake light does not work
when the front brake lever is pulled or
the rear brake pedal is pressed, have
your authorized Triumph dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective
brake lights is illegal and dangerous.
An accident causing injury to the rider
and other road users may result from
use of a motorcycle with defective
brake lights.
