Re: [emrat:7126] 3,000 or 6,000 mile servicing??

I will do it every 5K, if the service intervals are 10K like on the TEX, but even then Big-T is confident it can do 10K.  

If your doing your own changes, why not 3K I suppose.  I sure as heck wouldn't pay someone else to do it every 3K.

Myth or not I change my oil and replace the filter every 3,000 miles unless I'm on a road trip.

For the cost of Castrol 10W-50 Racing 4T and a filter its a no brainer.

That 3,000 mile oil change is really myth though, particularly with modern oils.

It's probably a good idea to change your oil/filter every 3K.  Years ago, Triumph changed the service interval for the twins to 12K (valves,etc).  This was done at the same time that the T3A triples svc interval was changed from 6K to 12K.  EWB
 
Remember that service intervals are based on the shop doing ALL maintenance to your bike, with you doing none.

Hi Gang,

So I am approaching 3,000 miles on my Bonneville and am confused about whether I need to do a servicing.  Erico gave me a Triumph service document which says I need to do a 3K service.  However, the Triumph owner's manual states there is a 6K service after the initial 500 mile service.

Do you guys and gals recommend a 3K service or is it not necessary?  I want to keep the bike in tip top shape:). 

Best,
Ross
