Oil Change

[1olbull]

Noooo they want to charge 35$ a can of some fancy oil + three washers and a rubber seal. It is funny that they never have the washers or rubber seals in stock and triumph does not sell them as a kit.

Back when my bike was new (2012) I bought a bunch from Bike Bandit and the supply is holding out very well.

I used silkolene and a high flo filter. Change is pretty easy. Just follow what these guys said (except sunny)

The book says 10,000 Km not miles, which equals 6000 + miles.

Work shop manual says 10,000miles (16,000km) or one year which ever comes first, changing FS oil to early just relates back to the old days when it was hammered into us that oil had to be changed evet 3000 miles but due to the crappy oil back then it was probably true.

He's a Scot..... and if he says you can save money...... believe him.

PS.... How do you get 50 miles of copper wire. Place a penny between 2 Scots....

If you tilt the bike over as far as you can left and right with the three bolts out, you can get almost all of the oil out.

This has turned into an oil thread.

We civilize you colonials and this is the payback remember Canada and America are on a long term lease which we can recall anytime except Kentucky we do not want Kentucky back.

Also if we did not stretch the penny and invent copper wire an Englishman named MrDavy might not have invented the electric light(no Edison did not invent it)
