• Remove the reservoir cap, support
ring and the diaphragm seal.
• Fill the reservoir to the upper level
line using new DOT 4 fluid from a
sealed container.

Brake Light Switches
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.
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.
