So last couple of nights I get my 03 Sprint ST out.. chilly but not really cold..about 48 degrees average and it was a leisure ride and not spirited at all (less than 85mph) As I am pulling up into my garage my bike dies.. I simply restart it.. and pull into the garage.
I notice a strong smell of fuel. I get off the bike. Put it up on the center stand. Nothing I could detect without pulling fairings off.
I get up the next morning. The garage still has a strong fuel smell and I noticed two drip locations below my bike. One is fuel. The other is oil. Just had 12k service done at 24k and it has about 27k total on the bike. I know I can look for things specific to a fuel leak.. and an oil leak... but "together" .. what would cause both to all the sudden leak like this. It would seem to be related.
I pulled off the fairings and I can't really trace it yet and not really qualified to pull the tank off. What are the thoughts on a "dual" occurrence like this off hand? Any ideas I should ask Triumph to check. I have a mechanic I use for straight forward things like brakes, oil changes, etc., Having just spent over $1700 less than 5 months ago getting all the things I am supposed to do at 12k done I a thinking I should take it to Triumph.
thx
