TGB Blade
Brake fluid capacity & service interval
TGB Blade uses brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals require a change every 24 months. The data covers 5 configurations.
The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.
| Type | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Blade 1000 V-Twin (2015- ) |
|
| Blade 460/500 (2011- ) |
|
| Blade 525/550 (2011- ) |
|
| Blade 250 (2010- ) |
|
| Blade 425/400 (2010- ) |

Additional Notes
- Across all TGB Blade configurations listed, brake fluid capacity is expressed as a fill range rather than a fixed volume, with the reservoir kept between the minimum and maximum marks on the hydraulic brake system.
- The Blade 1000 V-Twin, Blade 425/400, Blade 460/500, and Blade 525/550 all share a 24-month brake fluid change interval under normal use conditions.
- The Blade 250, introduced from 2010, carries no change interval in the specifications, distinguishing it from the other Blade variants where a 24-month replacement cycle is stated.
- The 24-month interval is a time-based service cycle rather than a mileage or hour-based one, reflecting the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture over time and lowers its boiling point regardless of usage level.
- The Blade 460/500 and Blade 525/550 share the same brake fluid service interval and capacity specification, despite representing different displacement classes within the Blade lineup.
- The Blade 1000 V-Twin carries the same 24-month change interval as the mid-displacement Blade models, indicating a consistent time-based service standard across the hydraulic brake systems of those variants.
