Warning!
- Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
- A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
- An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.

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.
7. Fill the master cylinder with new, DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container.
8. Bleed the rear brake (see Bleeding the rear brakes, renewing brake fluid).
9. The air gap between the wheel speed sensor and the pulser ring must be between 0.4 mm and 1.2 mm. Check, and if necessary, adjust the air gap (see Rear ABS sensor air gap measurement).
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 attempt to ride the motorcycle again. Failure to take remedial action may reduce braking efficiency leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
