The engine oil also serves as the transmission lube. There is no separate fluid.

 

[trike lady]

It's all self-contained. The engine oil handles the engine, trans and clutch.

thanks the book did not tell me that

 

[detdrbuzzard]

thanks the book did not tell me that

the book would not tell you that. the engine is what they call a unit construction meaning the engine and trans are made together. if you look at ads for old triumps you'll see some that say pre-unit. thats when the engine and trans were seperate

Welcome to the forum from Pennsylvania. Ride safe and enjoy the GWOF..

When you pick the oil you use make sure it does not FRICTION REDUCING, that will cause the clutch to slip.
