Hi all,
I have some minor difficulties and every advice will be more than appreciated. So, a month ago I bought 2023 R3 GT, it had 8000 kilometers. A service was just done in official Triumph garage just before I bought it. After I have done 2500 km with it, I noticed a small amount of oil just under the airbox and oil pan (see picture). Now, before I had HD Street bob, so I am not scared of little oil on bloc, but just wanted to check out with you people, I already checked other threads but more or less everybody had a problem with nuts and washers which is more in front of the engine. I swiped with a cloth just under the airbox and it appears it comes from there. Again, nothing drastic, but it bugs me. Is it possible this is residual oil from blow by? This occured few hundred kilometers from now, not before. Also, I arranged a check up at dealership, but I will need to wait for a month for that. Also, warranty expired 2 days ago.
Another thing, after noticing this, I checked oil level (with Triumph method, 90 sec running then wait 3 mins), and the level was 1 cm under the minimum level. I added 500 mL of Motul 7100 15w50 synthetic, and now its just in the middle between min and max. Now, since I mentioned before a service was done 2500 km before, is this oil consumption normal? Tbh, I never had a bike which burns through oil like that, so its a novelty for me. Thank you in advance and ride safe.
