    Hi.
    From NZ, After many many years I have my first Triumph (Triumph Bonneville America 2010)
    I love the bike, a little worried about a recently discovered small oil drip, seems to be settling on the cables on the left of the oil sight.
    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum, hopefully its an easy fix. The only oil leak I ever had was on a new tiger 800. It just required the clutch cover bolts nipping up, they were alarmingly loose.

    Hi Ahaywood and welcome to the forum :cool: As stated, best to degrease the area to see where it is coming from.
    Best of luck sorting the drip and looking forward to seeing your ride

    Welcome to the family. Yes do a good clean. Give the oil filter a quick turn by hand to make sure it is tight enough. And hopefully it is just where someone oil changed the bike and you always get some residue around the filter and it travels all over. Do let us all know how you get on and opinions of the great beastie.
    Joe.
