Adjustment - Accessory Rear Brake

1. Upper level line
2. Lower level line
3. Window
4. Diaphragm
5. Diaphragm support ring
6. Reservoir cap
The brake fluid level in the reservoirs
must be kept between the upper/max
and lower/min level lines (reservoir held
horizontal).
To inspect the fluid level, check the level
of fluid visible in the window at the front
of the reservoir body.
To adjust the fluid level, remove the
reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level line
using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed
container.
Fit the diaphragm and diaphragm
support ring into the fluid reservoir.
Fit the reservoir cap and carefully screw
it down, ensuring it is fully tightened.
Brake Light Switches
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.

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.
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.
