Brakes

the rear brake as described on page 15.20.
12. Pump the brake pedal to correctly position the
caliper pistons.
Rear Brake Caliper
Note:
• The seals and pistons of the rear calliper
are not serviceable items. Should a fault
occur in the caliper, the complete caliper
must be renewed.
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 efficiency of the braking system leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given
earlier in this section of the manual.

13. Check the brake fluid level and top-up as
required with new DOT 4 fluid.
14. Check the operation of the rear brake. Rectify as
necessary.
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is
stabilised and adequately supported. This will help
prevent it from failing and causing injury to the
operator or damage to the motorcycle.
1. Replace any brake disc if worn beyond the
service limit or exceeds the disc run-out limit.

It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with
defective brakes and 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.
Measure disc run out using an accurate dial gauge
mounted on a surface plate.
