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, consult your authorised
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.

airbox without detaching the
connecting hose.
• Release the reservoir cap retaining
screws and remove the reservoir
cap noting the position of the
diaphragm seal.
• Fill the reservoir to the UPPER level
line using new DOT 4 brake fluid
from a sealed container.
• Fit the diaphragm seal into the
reservoir cap and make sure that
the holes for the fixings in the
reservoir cap and the diaphragm
seal are correctly aligned.
• Install the reservoir cap retaining
screws into the reservoir cap and
diaphragm seal assembly.
• Hold the assembly together
and position the reservoir cap,
diaphragm seal and reservoir cap
retaining screws onto the reservoir.
• Tighten the reservoir cap retaining
screws to 1.5 Nm.
• Refit the reservoir to the airbox
by tightening the original fixing to
5 Nm.
