Re: 1st service



Eric,

Thanks for the response.  Another quick question--- I was able to buy FRAM
oil filters for my Concours for years and wondered if this is possible with
the Sprint --- more specifically is the screw on oil filter a standard
filter used on the other Triples ---- if so, is it the same as the original
Sprint --- and did/does FRAM make one -- I'd like to avoid having to buy a
"Triumph" filter because of the excessive cost (not to mention the "Triumph"
Mobil 1 motorcylce oil). \
Catch ya later,  Lance
