Warning
Never use mineral based grease (such as lithium or
copper based grease) in any area where contact with the
braking system hydraulic seals and dust seals is possible.
Mineral based grease will damage the hydraulic seals
and dust seals in the calipers and master cylinders.
Damage caused by contact with mineral based grease
may reduce braking efficiency resulting in an accident.
ACaution
Never lever directly against the disc, caliper or the pad
li ning material as this will damage these components.
Always use a levering tool made from a soft material
which will not cause damage to the load bearing
surfaces.
Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons are
compressed. To prevent body damage, ensure that the
displaced fluid does not come into contact with any part
of the bodywork.
1. If new pads are being installed, push the pistons fully
back into the caliper body. Keep an eye on the fluid
level in the reservoir whilst retracting the pistons to
prevent fluid spillage.
Ensure the anti-rattle spring is securely clipped onto

the caliper body.

Warning
Do not apply more than a minimum coating of grease
to the pad retaining pins. Excess grease may
contaminate the brake pads, hydraulic seals and discs
causing reduced braking efficiency and an accident.
3. Lubricate the pad retaining pin with a thin smear of
proprietary high temperature 'Copperslip type
grease.
4. Ensure the heat isolation pads are fitted to the back
of each brake pad. Fit the pads to the caliper with
their friction material surfaces facing each other.
Locate the pad upper ends in the mounting bracket
retainer then align them with the caliper body and
insert the retaining pin.
5. Slide the caliper onto the disc, ensuring the pads
pass either side, and fit the mounting bolts. Tighten
the mounting bolts to 35 Nm.

7. Pump the brake lever to correctly position the caliper
pistons.
8. Repeat the removal, inspection and installation
process for the other caliper.
Warning
Use only DOT 4 specification brake fluid as listed in the
general information section of this manual. The use of
brake 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 fluid handling warnings given earlier
in this section of the manual.
9. Check the front brake fluid level and top up as
required with new DOT 4 fluid.
10. Check for correct brake operation. Rectify as
necessary.
Warning
It is dangerous to operate the motorcycle with defective
brakes; you must have your authorised Triumph dealer
take remedial action before you ride the motorcycle
again. Failure to take remedial action may result in
reduced braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
