Warning
Brake pads must always be replaced
as a wheel set. At the front, where two
calipers are fitted on the same wheel,
replace all the brake pads in both
calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been fitted, ride with extreme caution
until the new pads have 'broken in'.
Brake Pad Wear Compensation
Disc and brake pad wear is automatically
compensated for and has no effect on
the brake lever or pedal action. There
are no parts that require adjustment on
the front and rear brakes.
Warning
If the brake lever or pedal feels soft
when it is applied, or if the lever/pedal
travel becomes excessive, there may
be air in the brake pipes and hoses or
the brakes may be defective.
It
is
dangerous
to
motorcycle under such conditions and
your authorised Triumph dealer must
rectify the fault before riding.
Riding with defective brakes may lead
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Maintenance and Adjustment
Disc Brake Fluid
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
section. The brake fluid must also be
changed if it becomes, or is suspected of
having
moisture or any other contaminants.
Brake
means it will absorb moisture from the
air.
Any absorbed moisture will greatly
reduce the boiling point of the brake
fluid causing a reduction in braking
efficiency.
Because of this, always replace brake
fluid in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Always use new brake fluid from a
sealed container and never use fluid
from an unsealed container or from
one
which
opened.
Do not mix different brands or grades
operate
the
of brake fluid.
Check for fluid leakage around brake
fittings, seals and joints and also
check the brake hoses for splits,
deterioration and damage.
Always rectify any faults before riding.
Failure to observe and act upon any of
these items may cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
control and an accident.
