just got a 93 trophy 1200 with 21250 miles on the clock its my first triumph & nothing the old mobile oil leak my dad use to have,I know there seems to be a lot of questions about oil is a semi-syth OK for it?
My 02' has 8100 or so miles on the clock. I have switched to Golden Spectro. Spectro makes oil for BMW. I have used this 20w50 for a long time in other machines.
When I switched my 99 Buell cyclone over, it really helped the motor qiuet down. The rear cylinder tends to over heat when it's hot outside and your stuck in town.
The Triumph (Mobil) oil is way too expensive here. $50 U.S. with tax.
I use K&N filters, It doesn't take much research to figure out that cheap oil and cheap filters are for cheap bikes.
The bike calls for full synthetic oil.The Triumph Mobil oil is way too expensive.Amsoil 20W/50 Severe Racing Formula is what I've been using for the last several years.High quality and easier on the pocketbook.Don't know if Amsoil is available in merry old England or not.
