Disc Brake Fluid
Brake
fluid
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
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.

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 authorised 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
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
contaminated with moisture or any
other contaminants.
Note
A special tool is required to bleed the
ABS braking system. Contact your
authorised Triumph dealer when the
brake fluid needs renewing or the
hydraulic system requires maintenance.
