Maintenance and Adjustment
Unscrew and remove the oil filter using
Triumph service tool T3880313. Dispose of
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 Nm .
Refit the oil drain plug and tighten to
25 Nm .
Fill the engine with a 10W/40 or 10W/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.
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.
Warning
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.
Caution
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.
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.
