Maintenance and Adjustment
• Turn off the ignition, check the oil
level using the method previously
described, and top off to between
the minimum and maximum level
lines in the sight glass.
Disposal of Used Engine Oil
To protect the environment, do not pour oil
on the ground, down sewers or drains, or
into groundwater sources. Dispose of used oil
sensibly. If in doubt, contact your local
authority.
Oil Specification and Grade
Triumph high performance fuel injected
engines are designed to use 10W/40 or
15W/50 semi or fully synthetic motorcycle
engine oil that meets specification API SH (or
higher) and JASO MA, such as Castrol
Power 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic)
engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS Racing
4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in some
countries.
If the engine oil pressure is too low, the low
oil pressure warning light will illuminate. If
this warning light stays on when the
engine is running, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the cause.
Running the engine with low oil pressure
will cause engine damage.
Do not add any chemical additives to the
engine oil. The engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and any additives could cause
the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable,
non-detergent oil, castor based oils or any
oil not conforming to the required
specification. The use of these oils may
cause instant, severe engine damage.
Ensure no foreign matter enters the
crankcase during an oil change or top-off.
