I have a 05 Rocket and there is a leak behind the oil tank, its seems like a lot. Could it be from the head. Or an o ring in the oil tank connections? Anybody seen this?
Last week I posted a problem about a coolant leak. The part was identified by Greggor. I ordered one and it has arrived. The next problem is how do I remove the old part?
I have tried to gently remove it, but I am reluctant to try too hard as it is attached to the head.
The next picture shows...
I had a look and couldn't find this covered before.
My bike is leaking radiator fluid from the connector behind the lower left radiator hose.
I have disconnected the hose.
I tried gently twisting the elbow. It is either very tight or is pressed into the engine.
Can it be removed and repaired...
Hi everybody, newcomer here from belgium age 52,drive a rocket Roadster 2008 bought it 2, 5 year ago with 20000k on the counter and now have 50000k on the counter.
Here I want to share some experience with the problems I've had so I can help other with their problem. The first months the...
Hey guys, my 17 Roadster has about 13K on it now. I've already changed the valve cover gasket once for leaking on the right side in the usual spot. I just got a sudden oil leak show up on the left side under the oil tank. Haven't pulled the tank yet to investigate yet anything I should pay...
Hey guys; so finally removed my Rocket's final drive so I can grease the splines. My bike only has 7500 miles and its a 2013. Yeah, I need to ride it more. Anyway, when I removed the final drive, I noticed a film of oil the end of the swing arm. I traced it back to the shaft and as it joins...
Since my October knee replacement surgery I've gotten out on 3-4 rides on my BMW and sidecar rig but delayed riding my Touring until I felt that the knee was strong enough to deal with any big bike issues, such as an unexpected pressure from parking lot lean over etc.
Yesterday I decided it...
So, back in October, I did an oil change - filter plus 5 qts, then ran the bike for a few minutes and topped it off to the "full" mark.
Put a couple K miles riding down to Barber's Vintage Motorcycle festival, and rode around town for decreasing amounts as crappy weather set in.
When it hit 50...
Leaking tank by Y62 posted Dec 21, 2018 at 2:31 PMI just wanted to show you my gastank with crack. Picture is front center. Anyone seen something like it?
How can I identify that “ticka-ticka-ticka” sound coming from my engine? I have a 2012 Roadster, and it seems like the noise has been there all along. I get different opinions from everyone; valves that need adjusting or it’s just the fuel injectors and it’s normal (both from a dealer, whom I...
Can anyone tell me what this tube is for and what might have leaked from it???
The other day I noticed some dried up substance that seems to have come from this fitting. Also, there appears to be some kind of sealant/glue substance around the fitting that may have melted???
Has anyone...
Well after scratching my head for the last day or two trying to locate the cause of a small back fire through one of the throttle body's - using brakleen as a sniffer spray I could get the engine to flare when I squirted the brakleen onto the injector body where it meets the intake manifold on...
So, I installed my Viking header, among other things, today. Unfortunately, each exhaust port has a leak.
I used new gaskets and a small amount of sealant in each port.
Has anyone used 2 gaskets per exhaust port? Results?
Or should I just go ahead and put a thicker ring of sealant. I did...
Noticed a small patch at the rear of the bike this morning and discovered that oil has leaked at the final drive onto the rear wheel rim, around the hub where it goes into the rear drive.
Before pulling it to pieces, what can I expect when I remove the rear wheel?
Is there a final seal that...
I just thought I would update the forum on my bike behaviour. After the 3 month layup and the oil dropping to the sump the water pump has dripped coolant onto the floor. it seems running the engine has caused the seal to leak initially then reseal itself. It stopped after the engine warmed up...
Good morning all, my 2015 Rocket just developed the dreaded valve cover leak at 10K miles. I am lucky as the bike is still under warranty so the repair is covered. I have searched through the forum and it is clearly a known Rocket issue. My question is once repaired and assuming that dealer does...
I was finishing up balancing my throttle bodies when I noticed, what appears to be a slight oil leak from the under the back of the oil tank. Any ideas? Only 1,850
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
I took my 2017 R3R in for the first ~500 miles service checkup to the Triumph dealer. They found a coolant system leak on the crankcase press fitting for the bypass tube under the thermostat housing leaking at the crankcase. They reported it to Triumph to confirm course of action...
My 2012 Roadster has an oil leak, I noticed it a few weeks ago. I let it sit then took it to a triumph dealer for a diagnosis. They say it's weeping from the bottom of the sump and a new gasket is 15 dollars, total price to fix is $387, including the diagnosis, I say I'll fix it myself and now...
After starting the bike for the first time in three years, the next day I took a thirty mile ride. Several hours later I noticed my front forks were leaking. The right one was leaking a bit, enough to drip down onto the tire. The left one was more severe, leaving a puddle about the size of three...
