Front 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 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.

and the diaphragm seal.
