Engine Oil Specification and Grade
(10W/40 & 10W/50)
Triumph's high performance fuel
injected engines are designed to use
10W/40 or 10W/50 semi or fully
synthetic motorcycle engine oil that
meets specification API SH (or higher)
and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic)
engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in
some countries.
Refer to the chart below for the correct
oil viscosity (10W/40 or 10W/50) to be
used in your riding area.

Do not add any chemical additives to
the engine oil. The engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and any additives
could cause the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-
detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil
not conforming to the required
specification. The use of these oils may
cause instant, severe engine damage.
Make sure that no foreign matter enters
the crankcase during an engine oil
change or top off.
Cooling System
To ensure efficient engine cooling, check
the coolant level each day before riding
the motorcycle, and top off the coolant
if the level is low.
Note
The motorcycle is equipped with D2053
coolant, a year round, Organic Additive
Technology (known as OAT) coolant
when it leaves the factory. It is colored
orange, and contains a 50% solution of
monoethylene glycol based antifreeze.
D2053 coolant, as supplied by Triumph,
provides freeze protection to -40°C
(-40°F).
