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.
After the oil has completely drained out,
install a new sealing washer to the drain plug.
Install and tighten the drain plug to
18 l b f f t ( 2 5 N m ) .
Apply a thin smear of clean engine oil to the
sealing ring of the new oil filter. Install the oil
filter and tighten to 7lbfft(10Nm).
Fill the engine to the maximum mark with a
10 W/40 or 15 W/50 semi or fully synthetic
motorcycle engine oil that meets specification
API SH (or higher) AND JASO MA.
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.
