Good advice Jb, but it's only relevant to the fuel injected bikes. Shedds' Thunderbird will not have this plate.

Shedds:

I would just keep an eye on it like I said, if it gets any worse, or doesnt get better get it to the dealer for a new breather and seal. alternatively if you are under warranty get it in to them to be checked anyway.

Triumph recommend oil changes every 6000 miles. 3000 is better if you want to spend the money. Personally I only do about 4000 miles per year so I just change it before the winter layup.

well mick thanks for the advice and i happened to have my bike on the centerstand last night after a ride when hot to check leak and it is coming from where the opening for the chain is on the cover dripping out of that open area and running down so i think we are looking at a output shaft seal here? i called the dealer to tell them and they said when they opened up the cover last time everything was dry but now i am going to take a long ride before i show up there to get everything hot and pressure up so they can see it. oh ya when i looked at the sight glass it showed overfilled but last time it was below half way when on centerstand i allready drained out a quart awhile ago. :???:

I had the same problem on my Legend the first time the dealer serviced it. After you drain out the extra oil pull the vent hose off that runs up to the airbox from the left side of your engine, let it drain out and then reconnect it. If you don't get the oil out of the hose it will continue to pull up to the airbox.

i,m mostly concerned with the leak from the chaincase cover and shiftershaft seal the airbox leak seemed to subside a little after i let out more oil to get the level down to halfway up glass on centerstand that is a total of a quart and a pint?
