Maintenance and Adjustment

Disc Brake Fluid
Inspect the level of brake fluid in both
reservoirs and change the brake fluid in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements. Use only DOT 4 fluid as
recommended in the specification section.
The brake fluid must also be changed if it
becomes, or is suspected of having become
contaminated with moisture or any other
contaminants.
WARNING: If the brake fluid
in
either
reservoir
has
become, or is suspected of having
become contaminated, consult your
authorised Triumph dealer for advice,
before riding. Contaminated brake
fluid may cause the brakes to become
defective.
Riding with defective
brakes may lead to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
WARNING:
Brake fluid is
hygroscopic which means it
will absorb moisture from the air.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly
reduce the boiling point of the brake
fluid causing a reduction in braking
efficiency.
Because of this, always replace brake
fluid in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Always use new brake fluid from a
sealed container and never use fluid
from an unsealed container or from
one which has been previously
opened.
Do not mix different brands or grades
of brake fluid.
Check for fluid leakage around brake
fittings, seals and joints and also
check the brake hoses for splits,
deterioration and damage.
Always rectify any faults before
riding.
Failure to observe and act upon any of
these items may cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
control and an accident.
