First, I just bought my 2014 Street Triole last week and I’m preparing for our riding season here in Montreal ( should be another 2-3 months ♂️) I was getting ready to order the stuff do an oil change, I checked with the previous owner, he did about 2000km after the last oil change ( full synthetic). I checked the oil level and it’s full and the oil is still a bright gold colour like it’s new. Should I hold off on the oil change ? Secondly, I will be doing a coolant flush because it has Water Wetter in there now. Any specific tips or advice when doing a flush on a Triumph. I’ve done it 15 years ago on a Kawa. thanks
Hi. I always do a service when I buy a bike regardless of what the previous owner says. Oil change...fully synthetic Oil filter....triumph oem Sump plug and new washer Spark plugs....NGK as per triumph recommendations Air filter....triumph oem Coolant flush....triumph oem The flushing takes patience. Once you have flushed it 2 to 3 times, then new Coolant goes in. This is the point where the fun begins .... Take your time squeezing all the hoses. Lean the bike both ways. All to ensure getting the air out of the system. Best to get a manual. All the best H
