10. Tighten the bleed nipple to 6 Nm.
Final Steps
Use only DOT 4 specification brake and clutch fluid as listed in the General Information section of this
manual. The use of brake and clutch fluids other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in the General Information
section may reduce the efficiency of the braking system leading to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Observe the brake and clutch fluid handling warnings given earlier in this section of the manual.
To prevent paint damage, do not spill brake and clutch fluid onto any area of the bodywork. Spilled brake and
clutch fluid will damage paintwork.
Always return the lever adjuster to the original setting as noted during the preliminary steps. Operating the
motorcycle with lever settings that are unfamiliar may lead to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with defective brakes; you must have your authorised Triumph
dealer take remedial action before you attempt to ride the motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action
may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Ensure both manual and ABS system bleed procedures have been completed and repeated in the sequence
described at the beginning of the Core Activity section.
In the Triumph diagnostic software, navigate to ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS - FUNCTION TEST and perform
the cruise control switch check (see Cruise Control Switch Check) to ensure correct brake switch operation.
Disconnect the Triumph diagnostic tool.
When both calipers have been bled, ensure the brake lever operation has a firm resistive feel to it, does not
feel spongy and that the lever cannot be pulled directly back to the handlebar. Take remedial action as
necessary.
Remove the bleed tube.
Replace the bleed nipple cap.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level with new DOT 4 fluid.
Refit the diaphragm and reservoir cover. Refit the screws and tighten to 1.5 Nm.
Reset the brake lever adjuster to the original setting.
Check the operation of the front brake. Rectify as necessary.
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported. This will help prevent it
from falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
Note
Note the position and orientation of the pad retaining pin clip, anti-rattle spring and brake pads prior
to removal.
