2018 Triumph Speed Triple Rs - 500 Mile Oil Change Problem

confused to the sequence

 

I think it's to ensure the oil flows right to the point where the filter screws on thus preventing any form of air lock from occurring by doing it in the normal sequence. Still it sounds wrong (in this order) and messy.

 

So if I understand correctly, Triumph's latest technical service bulletin doesn't state how they want the new filter installed (oil added to it or not) just add oil to the engine before installing the filter. Right??

 

I would get more clarity from the dealer as to the exact method just for reference and future know how. For now they have to service it to maintain the warranty.

 

In most oiling systems the filter is after the oil pump, so there shouldn't be a problem with the new oil leaking from the oil filter connection as long as the engine is not started... lol
I would like to see a diagram of the new oiling system though.
I guess the safest route would be to have the dealer service the bike till the warranty is up. By then (hopefully ) more information regarding this condition should be out, maybe even a recall to change a valve or a spring in the oiling system. We'll have to wait and see.

 

Thank you Aurence, very informative.

 

Seams like a simple enough solution, thanks for posting.
Also it great to hear your replacement RS has been solid. I've enjoyed reading your detailed review .

 

Having just had this problem on a 2019 speed triple RS 1050 and this thread leading me to the cause, I thought I would post our solution to solving the issue. The engine sounded obviously rattly along with the oil pressure warning.

Repeatedly starting stopping, refilling using the new procedure and pre filling the oil filter with oil had all made no difference to solving the noise/oil pressure light.

In the end it was solved by running the bike and cracking off (loosen off) the oil filter at the same time. You will spray oil everywhere so be warned but instantly you could hear the problem solve itself and quickly tightened up the oil filter again. The engine sounds lovely again and got rid of the oil pressure light.
