Re: [ST] Oil Substitute?

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Manuel is wrong.. 4t is 15-50wt.. at least the Triumph branded 
stuff is. How low on oil are you??  I don't think I've ever had to 
add oil between changes. You're not checking the level with the bike 
on the side stand are you??  If the bike is on level ground on the 
center stand as long as the level is between the marks next to the 
sight glass you ok.. Most dealers tend to overfill the bikes 
anyway.They dump the whole 4 liter jug in.
