Do these bikes drink oil like their country men drink beer?
Just picked up a 2024 and it had 1000km and had its first service around 600km. For my peace of mind I had triumph do service one again and change the oil and filter. I road it 900km and checked the oil today. Was no reading on the stick. I do the procedure per what I read.
Run the bike until warm, turn off and wait a few minutes. Stick was dry! I added about 250ml give or take and then got a reading. I’ll check again tomorrow and see. I didn’t run it hard and never had the rpm above 7000.
Couple of questions.
- check oil do you screw in the oil stick all the way or just to the thread. I’ve see conflicting information.
- when you turn off the bike the oil light is on.
- when is the oil light come on and it matters? When the engine is running, off after ignition is cut, before ignition ?
Thanks!
