Rear Brake Fluid Inspection and
Adjustment
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.
The rear brake reservoir is located near
to the rider's foot rest, behind the heel
guard on the right hand side of the
motorcycle.
