Maintenance and Adjustment
93
Make sure that the low oil pressure
warning light extinguishes shortly after
starting.
Turn off the ignition, check the oil level
using the method previously described,
and top up to between the minimum and
maximum level lines on the dipstick.
Disposal of Used Engine Oil and Oil
Filters
To protect the environment, do not pour
oil on the ground, down sewers or
drains, or into watercourses. Do not
place used oil filters in with general
waste. 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.
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.
If the engine oil pressure is too low,
the low oil pressure warning light will
illuminate. If this 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.
