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.
Cooling System
To ensure efficient engine cooling, check
the coolant level each day before riding
the motorcycle, and top up the coolant if
the level is low.
Note:
•A year-round, Hybrid Organic Acid
Technology (known as Hybrid OAT or
HOAT) coolant is installed in the
cooling system when the motorcycle
leaves the factory. It is coloured
green, contains a 50% solution of
ethylene glycol based antifreeze, and
has a freezing point of -35°C (-31°F).
