Whew! I thought I might be in trouble there. Just filled the Triumph up
with gold cap last night and then all these messages about red cap.
Didn't see anything about energy conserving stuff on the label and I
thought earlier I had read to use the gold cap. Glad that's still the
case.
By the way while I was pouring in the fresh oil I noticed that the
spring that wraps around the clutch pull lever (don't really know what
to call it but it's the bottom termination of the clutch cable) seems
to have broken off so it doesn't really do anything. No idea how long
it's been like that but its disappearance doesn't really seem to have
affected anything. It also seems like it might be a pain in the butt to
replace. Any reason I should be worried about this part missing?
