Warning
If the ABS is not functioning, the brake
system will continue to function as a
non-ABS equipped brake 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.
Inspect the level of brake fluid in both
reservoirs and change the brake fluid in
accordance
with
scheduled
maintenance requirements. Use only
DOT 4 fluid as recommended in the
Specification section. The brake fluid
must also be changed if it becomes, or is
suspected
of
having
become
contaminated with moisture or any
other contaminants.
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.
Brake Fluid Level Inspection and
Adjustment
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.
