Hi Spud,

You'll need 1 x T3550123 sealing washer / 2 x 3550605 sump bolt washers / 1 x T3600104 O-ring (for use on the sealing washer).

Thanks everyone for your prompt and informative replies...I just thought I'd be prepared incase one of those washers was damaged and I could'nt get the job done. The nearest Triumph dealer is 30 miles away, so this would mean having to put the bike off the road untill I could get over for some new replacements.

I think I'll go ahead and just do the oil change and hope that the current washers are ok. Just one more question though.......

I've noticed some folks talking about clutch slip if the correct oil is'nt used. I think this was a case of using semi synthetic as apposed fully synthetic oil. Can any you gentlemen advise me on this.

Thanks again

The clutch issues are mainly with using oil that is not motorcycle specific. Auto oil contains friction modifiers that can cause clutch plates to slip.

I would only use a full syn oil, one that is specifically for motorcycles. Since the engine and tranny share the same oil, make sure to get a 4T.

Spud,

You should be able to get a replacement washer at any parts house, they are not unique to Triumph.

your right spud as Pig9r is also. I would not run auto oil in her unless you switch to stiffer clutch springs say 20% stiffer. If you do change them, then run turbo diesel oil it does not have the friction modifiers in it and has a lot more in the wear protection department.
The most common issue with the clutch are from not having it adjusted right. 2 to 3 mm freeplay is a must as the manual states.

The problem is usually getting the pimpley faced parts "dude" to find them. You know, the guy who is used to pressing the picture of the hamburger to fill your order.
