As you know I had my 2010 Rocket Tourer triked earlier this year, well Triumph have said that my 2 year warranty is void, so I will be doing my own servicing, so what oil would you knowledgeable people recommend for the engine and gear box.
I have a 2011 R3T still under warranty and did my own oil change. Used Mobil 1 Racing 4T. Not sure where to get it in the UK, but I used this site in the US: http://store.avlube.com/mob1mx104cyc1.html
Mobil 1 MX4T full synthetic or an AMZOIL equivalent. Royal Purple also tested well. Biggest concern is that it has to stand up to the shear stress (oil breakdown) of the transmission.
Any well known brand oil that meets Triumph specs will do. After all,by the time your bike's engine is worn out,it will probably be on its 4th owner.
I think it more important to choose the correct viscosity to suit your climate and do regular changes ,than the brand.
I have to agree with the turbo diesel oil. If not use a track oil as they do not worry about EPA rules and such. Joe Gibbs racing oil is pricey but great stuff also.
