Remove the right hand side panel (see
page 133).
Release the fastener and detach the reservoir
from the subframe.
Support the reservoir in an upright position.
Release the cap screws and detach the cover
noting the position of the sealing diaphragm.
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. Tighten the cap screws to
18 lbf-in (2 Nm).
Reposition the reservoir to the subframe and
tighten the fasteners to 62 lbf-in (7 Nm).
Refit the right hand side panel (see
page 133).
If there has been an appreciable drop in
the level of the fluid in either fluid
reservoir, consult your authorized 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.
