RTFM! Follow the instructions in the owner's manual or Triumph factory
service manual to the exact letter. You will not be disappointed. I
did and my bike uses NO OIL WHATSOEVER! I can treat it nice or like I
stole it (after it's warmed-up) and it never burns oil and is very strong.
Doing so also ensures you will have Triumph's backing if something bad
happens.
