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.
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
authorized
Triumph
dealer
investigate and rectify the fault.
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.
