Well, I changed the oil in the Rock today, it went fairly smooth. Due to my crash last year, I still don't have an excessive amount of mobility in my right leg, so getting up and down on the ground is perhaps the hardest part of the job. I have an 05 model and had just logged 11,000 miles so it was past time for it's change on the service interval, the dealer changed it before I got it, back in April with about 6,700 showing. I feel that around 5,000 miles is good considering that it is full synthetic and the factory recommends every 10,000. As, it turns out, I have the early style sump, the one that actually matches the service manual.
Got my oil at AutoZone and the filter at the dealer, figured I had better support them in some way. The oil is the Mobil 1 4T racing in 10w40, I know it is not what mother Triumph suggests, but sod them, its my bike and thats all that AutoZone had in the 4T.
If you are coming up on an oil change and wondering if you can do it, I'd think maybe yes you can. Afterall if this crippled, crazy guy can do it so can you. (I had old in there but as most of you are older than the moon I took it out.)
