Re: 1st service



Hello Eric and Lance,

I have to second what Eric stated below; at under $9.00 MSRP for the OEM
filter it is not worth the potential controversy if you do have a warranty
claim.  Additionally, Triumph states it "must be filled with a 10/40;
15/40; or 15/50 that meets API-SG or API-SH specification". Mobil 1
automotive oil with a viscosity of 15/50 has a API/SH rating and will not
void your warranty.  It costs ~ $4.50 per quart which is a bit more
reasonable than the 4t Mobil racing oil they recommend. BTW, it seems to
take about 3,000 miles to get everything fully seated on these triples. 
What has been everyone's experience with the ST?

Kind Regards,
John King
