Front Brake Fluid Level Inspection
and Adjustment
Warning
If there has been an appreciable drop
in the level of the brake fluid in either
brake 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.
