Brake Pad Wear Compensation
WARNING
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 pipes and hoses or
the brakes may be defective.
The fault must be checked and
rectified by a competent person with
the specialist knowledge and technical
understanding of motorcycles, such as
an authorised Triumph dealer.
Riding with defective brakes may lead
to a dangerous riding condition,
leading to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
Disc and brake pad wear is
automatically compensated for and has
no effect on the brake lever or pedal
action. There are no parts that require
adjustment on the front and rear
brakes.
Front Brake Wear Inspection
WARNING
The use of proprietary brands of brake
pads is not recommended as these
may have a reduced carrier plate
thickness when compared with the
Triumph genuine parts.
Brake pads with an incorrect carrier
plate thickness can potentially become
dislodged from the caliper body as
they wear, leading to brake failure,
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Failure to follow the advice above
could result in serious injury or death.
Brake pads must be inspected in
accordance with scheduled
requirements and replaced if worn to, or
beyond the minimum service thickness.
