Re: Tiger: should I be worried about this?
the left hand engine bolts on my tiger hadnt been torqued down properly, silly but just try nipping the bolts up and see if that cures the problem. if not it will just need a new gasket.

That would indeed be dirt, 3 days of touring the peak district with heaps of rain on the last day... She needs a polish. Will drop by the Triumph dealer and see if he can check the torque on the bolts. Maybe I'll just have him change the oil completely and just get it over with. Thanks for the advice guys! JB

'phone Sprint Manufacturinghttp://www.triumphparts.gbr.cc/
They'll know if that model is prone to anything you need to worry about. Haven't yet had a Triumph question they couldn't answer (usually before I'd finished asking the question). Quote:
Web site was a bit rubbish last time I looked, so you may want to just pick up the 'phone.

Re: Tiger: should I be worried about this?
Nothing drastic, slight weep from cover as above, pinch the bolts up with a torque wrench so you don't overdo it or replace the gasket sometime, do keep an eye on the oil level though, it doesn't look like it, but sometimes these joints can blow quite a bit of oil vapour when out on a long run that doesn't look much when the casings cool down.
BTW did you see this one round the Peak District, spotted parked up at the Cat & Fiddle the other week

Re: Tiger: should I be worried about this?
all wrong.
It is the seal on the crank shaft cover. Don't worry too much, if it is under warranty ask for the seal to be replaced, if not change it yourself or live with it. Asking a question like that on here is a waste of time. If you need advise on what colour bike to have this is the place to be. try http://www.t595.net/ Steve |
