Maintenance and Adjustment
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 N m .
Fill the engine to the maximum mark with a
10W/40 or 15W/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.
Ensure 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.
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.
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.
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.
