Front brake level - normal?

[AndrewK]

Hello all,

I have 200 miles on my R3T now and I have a quick question about the front brake level. When the bike is off it looks like the fluid levels are full, but once I get going the levels drop to the 'lower' indicator. Is this a Triumph thing, a dual calipers on the front thing, or nothing to worry about? I told my dealership about it and they said to bring it in and they'll check it out. Just wanted to get a few opinions here before I went.

My only other motorcycle experience has been with 3 Hondas, but they always looked full.

Thanks

Probably just the angle the master cylinder is at and the fluid level changes when bike is moved

Turn the handlebars so the reservoir is level. Open the reservoir and top up the brake fluid with DOT4. Leave it about a generous eighth of an inch down from the top.

I'm so busy holding on for dear life that I never even thought about looking at the site glass.
I do check it before I ride!

Dealer said it was fine, and that they fill it with the wheel to the left. I'm just not used to seeing the levels fluctuate.
