Front Brake Fluid Level Adjustment
▼ Release the reservoir cap retaining
screws and remove the reservoir cap
and the diaphragm seal.
▼ Fill the reservoir to the upper level
line using new DOT 4 brake fluid from
a sealed container. Triumph
Performance DOT 4 brake fluid is
recommended.
▼ Check the condition of the diaphragm
seal. Replace if necessary.
▼ Fit the reservoir cap making sure
that the diaphragm seal is correctly
positioned between the reservoir cap
and the reservoir.
WARNING
Do not over tighten reservoir cap
fixings.
Over tightened reservoir cap fixings
may damage the brake fluid reservoir
causing a brake fluid leak leading to
reduced braking efficiency.
Failure to follow the advice above may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
▼ Tighten the reservoir cap retaining
screws to 1.5 Nm.
Rear Brake Fluid Level Inspection
and Adjustment
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 authorised 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.
NOTICE
To prevent paint damage, do not spill
brake fluid onto any area of the
bodywork.
Spilled brake fluid will damage
paintwork.
The reservoir is visible from the right
hand side of the motorcycle, forward of
the silencer and below the rider’s seat.
