Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection
and Adjustment
1. Upper level line
2. Lower level line
The brake fluid level in the reservoirs
must be kept between the upper and
lower level lines (reservoir held
horizontal).
To inspect the brake fluid level:
Check the level of fluid visible in the
window at the front of the reservoir
body.
To adjust the brake fluid level:
Release the cap screws and remove the
reservoir cap and the diaphragm seal.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level line
using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed
container.
Refit the reservoir cap, ensuring that
the diaphragm seal is correctly
positioned between the cap and the
reservoir body.
Tighten the cap retaining screws to
1.5 Nm.
Rear Brake Fluid Level Inspection
and Adjustment
1. Upper level line
2. Lower level line
The brake fluid level in the reservoir must
be kept between the upper and lower
level lines (reservoir held horizontal).
To adjust the brake fluid level:
Remove the reservoir cap and
diaphragm seal. Fill the reservoir to the
upper level line using new DOT 4 fluid
from a sealed container.
Refit the reservoir cap ensuing that the
diaphragm seal is correctly positioned
between the cap and the reservoir body.
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.
