I doubt if Triumph says it is not a problem, unless your dealer is trying to get Triumph to handle it under warrantee.

My S3 used some oil at break in, but hasn't used a drop since.
I would imagine there are a lot of bikes being improperly run in or are being run with oil viscosities not recommended by Triumph, so I wouldn't be put off what your reading in the posts here or elsewhere.
As far as I am concearned the 1050 motor is as good as anything out of Japan I have owned over the years.

[quote=johnparjr;908975]Of course, but "it's not a problem" probably means that they think the fuel filter will stop any particles getting into your engine.

I would be at the dealer having a major tantrum if I had rust in my tank. It should be taken care of before it gets into the engine.

I agree Matt triumph will not cover it so Ill probably end up buying a new tank there about $760

Well just got back from the dealer the Bike used about 260cc of oil in 1700 miles
