Hi from New Zealand

[Mike Sarsfield]

Welcome Mike S from Idaho USA. I wonder if we have a trend developing with this pinhole in the heads.

I hope not

Welcome from Perth Western Australia. Not good to hear about your early issue but on the plus side at least warranty should get it resolved. Tell them you want a worked head in compensation for your hardship, nice thinking. Good luck and there are numerous of us who are curious about the outcome.

G'day and welcome. Warranty should fix the problem, but if it doesn't duck tape will.

Welcome to the fold, Captain Mike. So sorry to learn of your rough start with the R3.

Our fellow member, RKTNMYPKT, had the same problem with his "new" 2014 model and Triumph is replacing the defective bike with a new one, as they should. The wankers from corporate should do the same for you, so keep us posted. we're here to support you and your being treated properly by Triumph. That way they will be supported by us , as well. You should not accept any offer to repair, via warranty work, a defective unit, as your purchased a new motorcycle in good faith and unfortunately got stuck with an assembly line/improperly manufactured lemon.

Please refer to this thread on the topic: Oil Leak / Pinhole in block

WELCOME to you from WA State.
@Wrecka recently had this issue.
I think it was gasket related.
Might check in with him.

Yeah mine was the gasket that spat out mate
