there is an invitation I do not want to miss!! I will try my best to find the time to come to arkansas in the spring and have the privilege to be insulted in person .Bring your tractor to Arkansas in April and I'll give you a redneck insult in return...in person...and probably buy you a drink

what other words do you know that belong to the french bathroom!! ( incidentally I was once fixing the pulsating tap in a french bidet when the shut off valve of the vertical tap let go now I know why women love to seat and lounge on the appliance.)You watch your mouth there bidet breath !

Patrick you are a nut. A funny nut to boot. I knew the French was going to break out as soon as I started reading this thread.
BTW: Louis, Take her to the dealer and get that oil tank valve problem checked out. I think having all the oil in the engine could be a problem.

Welcome to the Forum from Scotland. Louis my oil tank empties after a week without running and it has always done it.I would not worry about it as it refills completely about 5sec after the bike fires. My bike always did it and it's got 35000 miles on it now. My previous Rocket also did this.

basically I told him I had had the same problem and the dealership found the one way valve broken. I had the crankcase breather spewing oil all over

Thank you for your warm welcome guys, and for the tracks that you have given me, I can see that everything can be normal but also the opposite with significant risks. I have to check it.
I would like to know if the oil non-return valve has been changed (discretely) by Triumph
Albertaduke, Thanks for the french words
and for the american, Australian , English guys : my apologies for my approximativ english.
Albertaduke, thanks for the information about Kilderouge (I will take contact with him, I've already read some subjects from him on rocket-3.org web site.
About the bathroom subject, Honestly, I do not know at all how the French girls play with faucets bidets or other utensils in the bathroom. I should make an inquiry on the matter.
Canberra, Interesting answer, I agree with you, and thanks for your contribution , effectively, I intended to drain the oil tank only to see what it contains. If the tank is not completely empty, I wonder how much can be considered sufficient to start I suppose that 50 cl should be enough (?)
(My Rocket has not been driven for a few weeks now) I will see if the oil tank is partially or completely empty. If it's not empty, I will have to do this check several time to be sure.
In another hand, why the oil would empty only partially? can be about of pressure when the engine is still hot (?)
I will find the answers et I'll be back,
thanks to you all Rocket Men !!

I will not try to translate my mechanical advice to him in "franglais" as I would not understand it either but lets be fair here OK french canadians are a great bunch matter of fact I am talking to an R3 french canadian owner who want to sell his 2013 rocket3 roadster with 8000 miles for $11000 which I believe is a bargain I am yet undecided I need a push from this forum to travel 2000 miles to buy itYou can write to Louis in French and he'll understand, but try to speak the Canadian "franglais" and he won't have a clue what your saying.
