It may have been over filled. The dealer changed the oil the week before. 400ish miles since and not a drip!

Funny thing. About a week and a half ago I saw a rocket stranded on the side of the freeway. I couldn't stop as I was 4 lames over. A coulple days ago I was at a different triumph dealer and they had a bike with the same windshield sitting there. So I asked the service guy. He said it wasn't the one I had seen.

The one I had seen was in the back. The owner had over filled it bybanout 3 quarts or so!!! D'oh!!

This past Saturday, I decided to be a little obnoxious. Was at a rally/car show, it was hot, the Rocket was hot from traffic, and I did a couple of little burnouts. Then immediately parked her. I could tell that the clutch was hot (lever was soft).

I came back, a few hours later to find an oil puddle!?!?!???? It was large, but likely no more than a cup of clean fresh oil. So, after looking things over, I started her up. No drips, lights or funny noises, so I rode her the 25 miles home. Next morning no drips, maybe 100 or so miles since and no issues.

Any idea what this is? Should I freak out? The drip seemed to originate from the vent tubes at the front of the swing arm. She has another year of warrantee, but, still. The bike has a little over 25k miles.

Any thoughts?

A CUP OF OIL!! That is 8 ounces and would have made a 4 foot spill print!

Maybe a half cup? It wasn't alot. The puddle was maybe 18 inches by 10? Anyway, 1000 or more miles since and still no issues or drips. One of my friends suggested someone placed it there so I would leave the bike, so they could come back and steal it? You just never know.

Some one though it was a Harley and wanted it to look correct. That's why they placed the oil under your bike.
