Stop the engine and check the oil
level. Adjust if necessary.
•
Refit the lower fairings.
Disposal of Used Engine Oil
To protect the environment, do not pour oil
on the ground, down sewers or drains, or
into water courses. Dispose of used oil
sensibly. If in doubt contact your local
authority.
OIL SPECIFICATION & GRADE
CAUTION:
Triumph
high
performance fuel injected
engines are designed to use semi or
fully synthetic motorcycle engine oil
which 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.
Ensure no foreign matter enters the
crankcase during an oil change or
top--up.
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.
Corrosion Inhibitors
To protect the cooling system from rust and
corrosion, the use of corrosion inhibitor
chemicals in the coolant is essential.
If coolant containing corrosion and rust
inhibitor chemicals is not used, the cooling
system will accumulate rust and scale in the
water jacket and radiator. This will block the
coolant passages, and considerably reduce
the efficiency of the cooling system.
WARNING:
Use coolant
mixture containing corrosion
inhibitors and anti--freeze suitable for
aluminium engines and radiators.
Always use the anti--freeze in
accordance with the instructions of
the manufacturer.
Coolant mixture which contains anti--
freeze and corrosion inhibitors
contains toxic chemicals which are
harmful to the human body. Never
swallow anti--freeze or any of the
motorcycle coolant.
