Oil and Oil Filter Change
1. Oil drain plug
2. Oil filter
The engine oil and filter must be
replaced in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Warm up the engine thoroughly, and
then stop the engine and secure the
motorcycle in an upright position on
level ground.
Place an oil drain pan beneath the
engine.
Remove the oil drain plug.
Unscrew and remove the oil filter using
Triumph service tool T3880313. Dispose
of the old filter in an environmentally
friendly way.
Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil to
the sealing ring of the new oil filter. Fit
the oil filter and tighten to 10 Nm.
Incorporating a new washer, refit the oil
drain plug and tighten to 25 Nm.
Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/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.
Start the engine and allow it to idle for a
minimum of 30 seconds.
Prolonged or repeated contact with
engine oil can lead to skin dryness,
irritation and dermatitis. In addition,
used engine oil contains harmful
contamination that can lead to skin
cancer. Always wear suitable
protective clothing and avoid skin
contact with used oil.
The oil may be hot to the touch. Avoid
contact with the hot oil by wearing
suitable protective clothing, gloves,
eye protection, etc. Contact with hot
oil may cause the skin to be scalded or
burned.
Raising the engine speed above idle
before the oil reaches all parts of the
engine can cause engine damage or
seizure. Only raise engine speed after
running the engine for 30 seconds to
allow the oil to circulate fully.
