Maintenance and Adjustment
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 off
to between the minimum and maximum
level lines on the dipstick.
Oil Specification and Grade
Triumph high performance fuel injected
engines are designed to use 10 W/40 or
15 W/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.
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 groundwater sources. Do not place used
oil filters in with general waste. If in doubt,
contact your local authority.
Caution
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.
