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.
The reservoir is visible from the right
hand side of the motorcycle, forward of
the silencer, below the rider’s seat.

To inspect the rear brake fluid level:
• Check the level of brake fluid visible
in the reservoir.
• The brake fluid level must be kept
between the upper and lower level
lines (reservoir held horizontal).
To adjust the rear brake fluid level:
• Release the reservoir cap and
remove the diaphragm seal.
• Fill the reservoir to the upper level
line using new DOT 4 brake fluid
from a sealed container.
• Refit the reservoir cap making sure
that the diaphragm seal is correctly
fitted.
Brake Light Switches
Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective
brake lights is illegal and dangerous.
An accident causing injury to the rider
and other road users may result from
use of a motorcycle with defective
brake lights.
The brake light is activated
independently by either the front or
rear brake. If, with the ignition in the ON
position, the brake light does not work
when the front brake lever is pulled
or the rear brake pedal is pressed,
have your authorised Triumph dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.
