I just bought a 2004 TBS sport on Jan 30th, I've got 204 miles on it now. The fit in finish appears to be outstanding.. However, I have a slight oil weep. Upon investigating it further I noticed it was coming from a hose that appears to run out of the oil sensor.. and another tube (can't remember exactly where from)... anyway.. it's tight as a drum.. (nothing on lilly-white paper under it after my paronia got the best of me I layed a 6' 6' white section of paper under it in an attempt to detect any leakage).

SO... I let the bike sit... had a friend of mine sit on it on level ground.. it appears that too much oil is in the machine (no daylight thru the oil sight on level ground).. I will talk to my dealer about this.. (first I will remove any over-fill from the bike, I am 100% confident this is the issue with my TBS). Anyone else out there had overfill off the showroom floor with there bikes?

buy the way, the bike runs flawlessly, smooth, nice sound, nice feel to it, anyone who likes classic bikes will not be dissapointed with the new TBS... Just make certain to check all your fluides when you get her home. (I'm not certain the dealers always know what they are doing when it come to british iron)
