Warning
Continued
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.
Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
standard non-ABS braking system. In
this situation, braking too hard will
cause the wheels to lock resulting in
loss of control and an accident.
Reduce speed and do not continue to
ride for longer than is necessary with
the indicator light illuminated. Contact
an authorized Triumph dealer as soon
as possible to have the fault checked
and rectified.
Note:
•
A special tool is required to bleed
the ABS braking system. Contact
your authorized Triumph dealer
when
the
brake
fluid
needs
replacing or the hydraulic system
requires maintenance.
