"It drips oil, I assume out of the airbox. I've had Triumphs for 36 years, so this is comforting."

hahahah, that's a hell of a statement!!

For the oil your seeing you might want to check to see if the over flow tube needs to be opened.

Sometimes a drip can happen because oil or gas gets into the air box due to flooding or the oil level being over filled during its last oil change.

The drip will come of the left side behind the panel. There should be a hanging over flow tube that is between the rear wheel and the shock.....it will have a rubber stopper plugged into it, pull that out and let the airbox empty, then plug it in and it might relieve the amount of fluid in your airbox.

Then again, if it's that comforting, leave it drip! That's old school!

:hihi:
