Question Oil filter for TBird

Anybody done their first oil change on the new TBird yet? Does it use the same oil filter as the Speedy/America? Any change in sound or clutch feel after the first oil change?

Having owned a speedmaster it sure looks like it. But i can't say for sure. Just call a dealer. If he can't or won't cross it for you at least get the part # (or get it from triumph USA) and see if it's the same as the speedy/america part #, which you can find here or bikebandit.com or several other places. If it is you can use a bosch 3300 at $6 or one of many others. I didn't notice any difference in the bike after the first service. I thought i would going from dino to synth but no.
