Front 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 authorised
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.

1. Upper level line
2. Lower level line
To inspect the front brake fluid level:
• Check the level of fluid visible in the
window at the front of the reservoir
body.
• The brake fluid level must be kept
between the upper and lower level
lines (reservoir held horizontal).
To adjust the front brake fluid level:
• Release the reservoir cap retaining
screws and remove the reservoir
cap and the diaphragm seal.
• Fill the reservoir to the upper level
line using new DOT 4 brake fluid
from a sealed container.
• Fit the diaphragm seal into the
reservoir cap and make sure that
the holes for the fixings in the
reservoir cap and the diaphragm
seal are correctly aligned.
• Install the reservoir cap retaining
screws into the reservoir cap and
diaphragm seal assembly.
• Hold the assembly together
and position the reservoir cap,
diaphragm seal and reservoir cap
retaining screws onto the reservoir.
• Tighten the reservoir cap retaining
screws to 1 Nm.
Warning
If the reservoir cap retaining screws
are over tightened this can result in a
brake fluid leak.
A dangerous riding condition leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident could result if this warning is
ignored.
