Maintenance and Adjustment
Allow the engine to idle briefly, then stop the
engine and secure the motorcycle in an
upright position.
Place an oil drain pan beneath the engine.
Remove the oil tank drain plug from the
bottom of the sump and allow the oil tank to
drain.
Note:
•
Removal of the oil tank drain plug
allows the oil to drain from the oil
tank, not the sump. In order to
drain the one or two litres of oil
left in the sump, the front and rear
sump plugs must also be removed.
Incorporating a new washer, refit the oil tank
drain plug, tightening it to
25 Nm
.
Position the oil drain pan towards the front of
the engine, remove the front sump drain
plug and allow the oil to drain. This will drain
the oil remaining in the front part of the
sump.
Incorporating a new washer, refit the front
sump plug, tightening it to
25 Nm
.
Position the oil drain pan towards the rear of
the engine, remove the rear sump plug and
allow the remaining oil to drain. This will
drain any oil remaining in the rear part of the
sump.
Incorporating a new washer, refit the rear
sump plug. Tighten to
25 Nm
.
Remove the oil filter cover by pulling it gently
towards the front of the motorcycle.
Position the oil drain pan beneath the oil filter.
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
.
Fill the oil tank 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.
Warning
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine
oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation and
dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil
contains harmful contamination that can
lead to skin cancer. Always wear suitable
protective clothing and avoid skin contact
with used oil.
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 a few seconds to
allow the oil to circulate fully.
