Maintenance and Adjustment

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.
Turn the ignition OFF, check the
engine oil level using the method
previously described, and top up
to between the minimum and
maximum level lines in the sight
glass.
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.
Engine Oil Specification and Grade
Triumph's high performance fuel
injected engines are designed to
use 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.
Refer to the chart below for the correct
oil viscosity (10W/40 or 10W/50) to be
used in your riding area.
Oil Viscosity Temperature Range
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.
Make sure that no foreign matter enters
the crankcase during an engine oil
change or top up.
