To inspect the fluid level:
The reservoir is visible from the right

screws and remove the heel guard.
Release the cap screws and remove the
reservoir cap and the diaphragm seal.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level line
using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed
container.
Refit the cover, ensuring that the
diaphragm seal is correctly positioned
between the cap and reservoir body.

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.

your authorised Triumph

Warning
Riding the motorcycle with defective
brake lights is illegal and dangerous.
