This is how to change the oil on your Triumph Street Twin. This may be very similar if not the same for other models and oil changes in general. Many Thanks
@@ovegustafsson1791haynes manual also tells you to fill the engine with oil before fitting the new oil filter to avoid creating an Air lock between the oil pump and the filter.
Always fill the new oil filter before installing it. You want quick oil pressure. You can’t just hand tighten the oil filter on this design, you can’t get your hand around it. Using the filter socket is the way to do it. Usually after filter seal ring contacts the base, an additional 3/4 turn will do the job.
looks like someone over tightened your oil filter ;looking forward to doing mine with the center stand which should help with access ,i think triumph should have made access a bit easier .
the oil filter should only be hand tight? the one you took off here was way way tighter than that. ditto w/ the oil drain plug...just a bit more than hand tight?
Yes if the correct amount of oil is in the engine then you will see the oil in the sight glass. The bike has to be standing upright, not on the side stand.
