Ok, so i've had my 51 plate TT600 for two months now and its mileage has gone from 12k to 15k.

There has always been a very small accumulation of oil inside the lower fairing at the back where the two sides join, and the sump plug (?) has always been oily to the touch. I initially put it down to maybe it being over-filled when it was serviced at purchase.

I topped the oil up before the AR (1200 miles ago) but only as a precaution, the level was nearly at its min and I just wanted to be on the safe side, it hadnt been using a noticeably large amount.

The bike was last cleaned 10 days ago (250 miles) and ive just found the underside looking like this

Attachment 7860

To me thats a worrying amount of oil!!!

So your advice please, should I do a full change and replace the plug to see if this cures it? Or what else can I do?

As ive only had it since the end of June should I just go back to the dealer I got it from (100 miles away!!)

And dont just tell me that its a Triumph, its what I should expect and to get an SV instead...

Thanks, KJ x
