Engine Oil And Filter Change - Triumph Trident Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance
• Stop the engine, then wait for at
least three minutes for the oil to
settle.
Note
An accurate indication of the level of
oil in the engine is only shown when
the engine is at normal operating
temperature, the motorcycle is upright
(not on the side stand) and when the
dipstick has been screwed fully home.
Do not add oil through the dipstick hole
in the crankcase.
• Remove the dipstick.
• The oil level is indicated by lines on
the dipstick. When full, the indicated
oil level must be level with the upper
marking on the dipstick.
• If the oil level is below the lower
marking, remove the filler plug and
add oil a little at a time through the
filler plug hole in the clutch cover
until the correct level is reached.
• Once the correct level is reached, fit
and tighten the filler plug.
