Triumph TIGER Service Manual page 342

Ensure absolute cleanliness when adding brake fluid to
the brake fluid reservoir. Do not allow moisture or debris
to enter the cylinder as this will adversely affect the fluid
properties. Always use fluid from a sealed container and
do not use fluid from a container which has been
opened for any period of time. Always check for fluid
leakage around hydraulic fittings and for damage to
hoses.
A dangerous riding condition leading to an accident
could result if this warning is ignored.

To prevent body damage, do not spill brake fluid onto
any area of the bodywork.
7. Carefully remove the reservoir cover taking care not
to spill any fluid.
Check the condition of the sealing diaphragm for the
8.
reservoir. Replace if necessary.
9. Release the bleed nipple.
Use only D.O.T. 4 specification brake fluid as listed in
the general information section of this manual. The use
of brake fluids other than those D.O.T. 4 fluids listed in
the general. information section may reduce the
f
efficiency of the braking system leading to an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given earlier
in this section of the manual.
Note:
During. bleeding, do not allow th e. fluid level
to fall below the lower level mark in the
reservoir If the level is allowed to fall below
this mark, air may enter the system and the
sequence of bleeding must be repeated.
10. Slowly pull the brake lever to the handlebar and,
holding the lever fully in, close the bleed nipple.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 'until no more air appears in
the bleed tube.
12. When all air has been expelled from the system,
hold the lever in and close the bleed nipple. Tighten
the nipple to 5.5 Nm.
13. Fill the reservoir to the upper level with new DOT 4
fluid.

14. Remove the transparent bleed tube.
Note:
• To fully remove any air from the braking
r
system, car y out the additional bleeding
procedure to each caliper as listed below:
15. Undo and remove the bolts securing the front brake
caliper to the fork and manoeuvre the caliper clear of
the brake disc. Do not remove the brake hose(s)
connected to the caliper.
16. Obtain a suitable, wide, flat metal plate which is
approximately 2 mm thick and place it between the
brake pads. Pump the front brake lever a few times
until the metal plate is held in place by the brake
pads.
1. Plate
2. Brake pads
17. Whilst supporting the caliper, attach a transparent
tube to the bleed nipple and place the other end of
the tube in a suitable receptacle containing new
brake fluid. Keep the tube end below the level of
fluid.
