Hi, I just bought a Triumph America 2002 model, I wanted to know what kind of oil I should use? For the crankcase & the gear box. I have mixed opinions on synthetic or regular oil.And what wait oil should I use? The bike only has 4000 miles on it,Carbs have been re-jetted for the upgraded pipes. Some feedback would be greatly appriciated. Thanks Harles

Synthetic is more than OK, it's recommended. I prefer the motorcycle specific (it's also recommended by the manual). I use 10w40 Mobil 1 MX4T year round. Takes 4 quarts with filter change. Around the middle of the sight glass somewhere is fine.
Did someone have the owner's manual on a PDF file here somewhere?

Chances are if you have a question, it's already been asked a few times, so do a quick search and I bet you'll find what you want. We're constantly updating the Tech Vault too, so take a gander there. Good reading if you're having trouble sleeping some night  And if you don't find what you need, you can always ask.
