TFC 6 weeks in the workshop oil leak

[Wadejesu]

Hi mate
they estimate

Hi Gregger
Yes Triumph Australia send loan bike.Triumph tiger 900 .not my cup of tea but anyway
ETA about 4 weeks or more
It's nearly 6 weeks since
I took bike twice before to change copper washer on one bolt under oil tank but that didn't helped eather
So workshop decided to change cast on top of the transmission
Which got some crack they said
So to remove that cast
Cylinder head need to be removed including petrol tank etc
So head gasket and all bolts need to be replaced with new ones
I am expecting bike to be back to me next week
(NOT HAPPY AT ALL ABOUT. NEW BIKE OIL LEAK AFTER 200KM )

Can't expect much for 30K

I like the way they designed that. Easy to get that stupid little bolt back in, that falls out of the shifter arm. I had a similar idea to cut a square opening on top of the case, and making a plate to bolt on after re-fitting the bolt.

Well, maybe your idea won't work for that but I've thought that cutting an opening above the detent spring would make quick work of that repair.

Guys
Bike back from workshop
Another disaster not shoure who put this bike together
I believe it's completely idiot
Fan wiring run over the fan
I was testing bike for oil leak
after few kilometres weird noise follows with smell of burning plastic
Wire leaning on fan blades was cut of lovely day 40 degrees Celsius on the highway waiting for tow truck....

Agreed but according to Ned, you still have to remove the head to get that access cover off. I hope that isn't the case.

Yeah mate i see it with my own eyes
Head need to be lifted up to remove bolt and cover so technician replaced head gasket and put all new head bolts
