Give the engine time to 'bed in' before using fully synthetic oil, at least 10 or 12,000 miles. Use semi-synthetic after first service - I think they recommend 'Silkolene' in UK, I dont suppose the brand matters, just the SAE etc.

Chris.
Have they changed their recommendation since my 02? My book says put fully synth in at the 500 miles service. They recommend Mobil1-4T.
As I said in my previous post. 40000 miles and uses NO oil. That, to me, suggests that Triumph got it right.
