Engine oil transferring into void

[Blairbiker]

i was told they will empty my oil and if the correct amount comes out it will mean that there's a problem and it will take them 10 hrs to "Fix" it. so if not enough oil comes out I'm presuming they will say there is no problem I'm not convinced

Seeing as yer both from Scotland I was wondering if your both using the same dealer . I think there is only one in the country.

if it has the proper amount of oil then they think that the return pump is not doing its job an i assume (?) they will want to change it
if the oil is not the proper level then i would assume that it is burning it or there is something on with the way u r checking it.

Two Triumph dealers in Scotland, Edinburgh and Aberdeen

If there is the proper amount of oil then he says it's the seal as it is a known fault, I'm not sure if it's a missing seal or a damaged seal. i would assume the same as you, although i checked the oil correctly

I think that we r both on the same page
my thought was if the seal (that they r referring to) is part of the pump or the storage tank then if u wait for a while to check oil it might drain back rapidly
causing a low oil level that is the reason i suggested u check while running (no time to drain back)

10 hours of labor on a fairly new bike. This is a shame.
Triumph tries to save money on manufacturing in another country and end up losing on warranty work and reputation.
I would think 10 times before ever considering a triumph again.
Having said that, I love the Rocket.

well just finished lunch and was pondering this problem
so what i would say is to start it up let it run for a minute and while it is running check the oil if it reads full (or close) then the oil level is correct
then turn it off and check it a few times if the oil goes down then u have a drain back problem from the tank.
now if it has the correct amount of quarts/liters and u start it up and it is not full then u have a problem with the pump that returns the oil to the tank.
that would mean that the oil is staying in the sump and if u keep putting more oil in it the oil will built up in the sump and will cause problems.

2020 R3GT at dealer for service, 1 year 4,500 miles. refilling engine oil it took about 1.5 litres over the capacity to even register on the dip stick. Triumph tech say the oil is transferring into a void in the engine where an oil seal has been omitted on assembly. Repairing it under warranty. Anyone else had this happen?

My bullsh!t meter is registering full scale..............

Herman If your correct about the oil pump not returning correctly the VOID must be the sump
