Oil leak on the 2020 GT

I have the same leak.
Here's my Triumph America Case Reference #: 00882435
My bike is in the shop for the 3rd time for the leak. They are saying the leak is NOT coming from the bolt that has been getting all the attention. Triumph is telling them to remove the transmission/crankcase cover the bolt goes through. In order to do this, they have to remove the engine entirely. If the cover is bad, they have to replace the cover and case as a pair. As they are apparently matched.

If they say yours is the only reported case, then they're lying or not looking very hard. It appears to be pretty widespread. There are a number on this forum with the problem. Of the four 2020 rockets my dealer has sold, mine is the only one with the leak, but the service mgr said he is aware of the problem with them elsewhere. I smell a recall..We need to make some noise. If this doesn't get rectified soon, I'm going to have to go Lemon Law on them.
Good luck and please keep us posted.

Thanks Bandit, I will get my case from triumph and post it the same. I agree, it’s time to get loud about it.

I wouldn't be happy having my engine pulled from a premium price motorcycle. Hope you find a suitable solution - keep us all informed.

Ok this might not be according to Hoyle but another contributor on this forum suggested that tightening the bolt in question fixes the problem. Well, at least on mine it did, snugged it about another quarter to one third of a turn and 4000 or so miles later it is still a non issue (dont tell your dealer, lol).

Yes, Sir, I remember the suggestion. I wasn't brave enough to risk snapping off a bolt on my brand new bike. In hindsight, I should have given it a try.

I’m not happy about any of this, my motor has less than 300 miles on it and the leak has been persistent since bringing it home. This is my first Triumph and it has been a real bummer.

Lol, my dealer doesn’t listen To anything my one sa

Im the same as you...now I’m in it to win it with Triumph.
