    1. Front brake fluid reservoir, upper level line

    2. Lower level line

  1. The brake fluid level in the reservoirs must be kept between the upper and lower level lines (reservoir held horizontal).
  2. To inspect the fluid level, check the level of fluid visible in the window at the front of the reservoir body.
  3. To adjust the fluid level, release the screws and remove the cover.
  4. Noting its position, remove the sealing diaphragm.
  5. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line using new DOT 4 fluid from a sealed container.
  6. Refit the cover, ensuring that the diaphragm seal is correctly positioned between the cover and reservoir body.
  7. Tighten the cover retaining screws to 1.5 Nm.
warning
If there has been an appreciable drop in the level of the fluid in either fluid reservoir, consult your authorised 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.
