2022 Speed Triple Oil Change Problem-no Oil Pressure

Yes

 

Na se paro ena thlefono na milisoume genika gia ta provlimata..?

 

I know this thread has some age on it, but I wanted to add my experience as well.

I did the first oil change on my 24 1200RS yesterday. I poked a hole in the old filter prior to removing it. I was hoping that if I drained the filter prior to removing it I would avoid most of the mess. Nope. I still made quite the mess when removing the old filter. Sigh....

I had read this thread before doing the oil change, so I added oil to the sump before putting on the new filter. After adding ~3.3l of oil to the sump I put the new filter on the bike. Then I fired it up. I immediately got the low oil pressure warning on the TFT. I gave the bike a couple of throttle blips and this did not help. I still had the warning in the dash. Darn....

I did some internet searching before resigning myself to a dealer trip. I found a reference to service a service bulletin that I downloaded and read. It was dated 7/4/22 (being American I'm guessing this means April 7, 2022 and not July 4, 2022) and the reference number is 21768.

It mentioned the low oil pressure warning message. There were two bullet points in the message. One bullet point talked about changing the oil pump drive gear from 24 to 28 teeth. The second bullet point mentioned a software update controlling the warning message. It says, "This update changes the behavior of the warning so that it now latches on. If the pressure does briefly drop slightly and trigger the warning, the warning will remain on the display until the ignition is cycled and does not switch off when pressure rises as may be expected."

This seems like an odd choice, but it looks like Triumph programming intentionally keeps the low oil pressure warning message on the dash even if the oil pressure actually measures fine.

I started the bike again and it gave me no oil pressure warning at all. I'm interpreting this to mean that the bike did have a low oil pressure warning when I started it after the oil change (makes sense). The low oil pressure condition likely lasted only a couple of seconds. However, the warning message did not clear (as designed by Triumph). On the re-start everything was fine.

Hope this helps.
