Maintenance and Adjustment
Note:
• A special tool is required to bleed
the ABS braking system. Contact
your authorised Triumph dealer
when the brake fluid needs
renewing or the hydraulic system
requires maintenance.
Brake Fluid Level Inspection and
Adjustment
Front Brakes
1. Front brake fluid reservoir, lower
level line
2. Upper level line
3. Fluid level window
The brake fluid level in the reservoirs must be
kept between the upper and lower level lines
(reservoir held horizontal).
To inspect the front brake fluid level, check
the level of fluid visible in the window at the
front of the reservoir body.
Release the screws and remove the cover
noting the position of the diaphragm inside.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level line using
new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container.
Refit the reservoir cover ensuring that the
diaphragm seal is correctly fitted. Tighten the
screws to 2Nm.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
standard non-ABS braking system. In this
situation, braking too hard will cause the
wheels to lock resulting in loss of control
and an accident.
Reduce speed and do not continue to ride
for longer than is necessary with the
indicator light illuminated. Contact an
authorised Triumph dealer as soon as
possible to have the fault checked and
rectified.
