Oil On Belly Pan

I changed the oil & filter a couple of weeks ago, I've been out on it a few times since then, but today after a bike run I noticed the left side belly pan had a film of oil on it, couldn't see any obvious leak, although the oil filter had some oil on it. normally when I change the oil filter I just tighten it by hand but this time I noticed the manual say tighten to 10 nm so I did that. Do you think I should change the oil again and put a new filter on and just tighten by hand?

 

when I tightened it with the torque wrench it seemed to be a lot tighter than what it would be if I tightened by hand?..mind you I didn't have my specs on at the time,so maybe it was more than 10

 

yes filled the filter up with oil,I'm just wondering if I tightened it too much if I could have damaged the seal? and that's how it's leaking, I'm sure the torque wrench was set to 10nm but maybe it was set at more the left belly pan was pretty much covered in a thick film of oil

 

yes I think your right.. just as well it's not the super expensive oil I use!

 

was out a run today and discovered where the oil was coming from left fork seal was pi**ing out oil, I never thought about checking the fork seals
booked in to get sorted next week

 

I decided to have a run up to Braemar to get the new tyres scrubbed in,it wasn't handling right so had a look and that's when I saw the forks covered in oil..just a coincidence it was after I changed the oil I guess

 

It's got just under 18k don't know if that's early or not? just as well it happened now though as I'm hoping to have a last minute weeks touring in Ireland with @andyc1 just as soon as the forecast looks fine

 

I probably weigh 2 stone heavier now i'll mention to the garage to make sure they put settings back to what I had them as though

 

yeah I've always just tightened them by hand, the speed triple is the only bike I've had which says to tighten it to a specific torque
