Changed my final drive oil today and then noticed it should be fully synthetic. I have been using kawasaki 80w-90 mc gear oil. Changed it when I bought this bike 3k miles ago. Should I go buy the synthetic? Should be 75w-90 I figured 80w-90 was close enough but it was not synthetic. I changed it...
I'm back at the dealer I bought the rocket from (2022 R3GT). I don't trust the 10,000 mile service interval (or year), so I had it serviced by another Triumph dealer in my hometown at 5,000 miles to replace the oil.
The tech just came out and asked me where I had it serviced because it is 2.5...
Well I bought a new to me 2013 roadster last month. I shook it out a bit and had no issues, so decided to take it for my vacation trip. Now I'm over 600 miles from home and it is making oil. My next stop is/was going to be Nashville TN. I'm assuming that it is an injector problem. Are these a...
Long story, but I need another drain plug and washer and I really don’t want to wait a week or more to order it. Any reason a standard M14x1.5 oil drain plug won’t work? What about the ones with the manner on the tip? Helpful?
Was looking at something like this.
Hi all.
Thinking of changing the oil in my front suspension, but the manual says it requires a lot of special tools and the forks of the bike as well.
Is that really necessary?
Or is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance.
Hey folks...
Is there any way to remove the oil filter without loosening the front cooler? (2020 R3)
I doubt it but thought I would ask.
Moving forward, would a K and N filter allow filter change without loosening anything else?
Thanks
Need some help.I have now done 6500 miles and find oil usage is quite high more than 1 litre per 1000 miles .I bought the 2017 Rocker 3r with 3500 miles .I suspect the first 3500 miles running in were done with a gentle throttle and the rings never bedded in properly . There is no trace of oil...
2013 rocket roadster
I have a weeping leak from the small hose that connects the oil tank to the top of the crankcase
( front left hand side of engine)
I've had the o ring replaced as the spigot was loose from poor pressing at the factory
Sealed up with 2 part engineering (epoxy/ cement) but...
In this area (red circle) I see some oil (or other liquid) marks.
Question: what is covered under chromium cap? Might be some liquid leaking from this place? What it is, as I do not find any info in service manual?
I just did the 600 mile oil change and thought I'd share a few thoughts for those of you who've never done an oil change on these bikes.
The long kickstand on the 2.5 makes a tip over waaay too easy, especially when pulling on a wrench from under the bike. Do something/anything about it...
If you haven't looked lately finding motor oil in becoming much like finding Waldo. I went to 4 different stores (all of them) in my little burg and found zero bottles of Mobil 1, Valvoline and Motul for an upcoming oil change. It wasn't just the R4T oil that wasn't there but a lot of other...
I've got a 2013 roadster that was originally running 10 W 40 oil castrol
I'm now running 10 W 50 oil in the machine and although running well -doesn't seem to have the same grunt as before.
Does running at a heavier weight oil do any long-term damage to the engine as I'd like to revert back to...
My oil cap jettisoned at some point this morning on my spirited ride into work. This brings up a couple of questions/thoughts...
-While waiting on a replacement to get here from Pinwall Cycle, I was wondering if there might be a commonly available automobile plug that might work in the...

2020 R3GT at dealer for service, 1 year 4,500 miles. refilling engine oil it took about 1.5 litres over the capacity to even register on the dip stick. Triumph tech say the oil is transferring into a void in the engine where an oil seal has been omitted on assembly. Repairing it under warranty...
Hello all. New member first post. Have a 2020 R3. Noticed the much mentioned oil leak from bolt on top front of engine. The thing is that it only started leaking after my 600 mile service. Oil overfilled?
