Great video thanks, have the same bike and I'll be having a go myself this weekend!

Good luck the oil filter can be a pain to remove sometimes.

Good video. Good job. Thanks

[@upnorthbiker]

Glad you liked it!

Why bother screwing the dipstick home to check the level? The dipstick thread length is about 12mm. Need I explain?

[@mikebrook8500]

What make/grade of oil do you use please?

[@upnorthbiker]

It should be in the description of the video. I have also provided a summary video where I put up all the special tools and oils etc. you would be able to pause the video and look at the items on that one.

[@mikebrook8500]

DOH! Didn't see that....thanks mate. I'm in the middle watching all of your TS service videos as I've just bought a '20 model, so these are brilliant.

Thanks for your shairing. It would be better if you had used full-synthetic 10w50 (or 10w60) instead of semi-synthetic 10w40.

Hi Ahmet the oil I used is what triumph recommended but I am due another change soon so will ask them about fully synthetic

[@AHMET_AYDINLI]

@@upnorthbiker Some master technicians in my country (Türkiye) are recommending to use full-synthetic oils for these kind of advanced motor blocks (racing type motor blocks which have been designed to work in high revolving speed). They are recommending mineral oils or semi-synthetic oils for the simple motor blocks (one cylinder etc. motor blocks which use ball-bearing elements in their crank system). NOTE: Full-synthetic oils can be used in all kinds of motor blocks and guarantees the best and clean lubrication but their price may be expensive some users. The budget may be a problem. As you know, full-synthetic oils are more expensive than mineral ones. So, the technicians do not recommend to spend much more money on synthetic oils for the simple motor blocks.
