Caution
Always fill the engine with clean
engine oil prior to fitting the new
engine oil filter.
Fitting the new engine oil filter before
filling the engine will create an air
lock in the oil gallery and engine oil
starvation.
Engine oil starvation will cause
premature engine damage leading to
engine failure.
▼
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).
Caution
A new engine oil filter must be fitted
each time the engine oil is replaced.
If the engine oil filter is not changed,
it will create an airlock and prevent
engine oil pressure from being
achieved and the engine oil pressure
warning light will remain on.
▼
Apply a thin smear of clean engine
oil to the sealing ring of the new
engine oil filter.
▼
Fit the new engine oil filter and
tighten to 10
Nm using Triumph
service tool T3880313.
▼
Start the engine and allow it to idle
for a minimum of 30 seconds.
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 60 seconds to allow the
engine 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.
▼
Make sure that the low engine oil
pressure warning light remains off
and the engine oil pressure message
is not shown in the instrument
display screen.
▼
Stop the engine and recheck the
engine oil level. Adjust if necessary.
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.
