Brand new RS is leaking from the compression adjuster on the fork. Only 700 miles. Other side is fine. I will take it to the dealer under warranty, but wanted to show other new RS owners in case it happens to them. I am assuming there is a seal under the compression adjuster in the top cap? Anyone else had this happen to their Speed Triple?
Only speculating, but looks like it could have been overfilled and being forced out. Not a good sign of quality is it
Same fork as fitted to the 94R's, so been around for about 3 years, not heard of anyone else having a problem so hopefully a one off.
Can't believe how many issues I have seen on here with the Speed RS, what is going on with the Speedy? It's hardly a completely new model just a development of what has been around some years. Have done over 5,500 miles in just over a year on my Street RS without any issues and that was a completely new model, so if anything I would have expected teething problems on that. I hope that Triumph sort it quickly so you don't miss out on the great weather.
Mine did have an oil leak from the cam cover but i Have since had 3000 miles with no issues , just a worn out tyre.... My 2010 Speedy did have an oil weep from the the sump so I guess, not that much different from my experiences of new Triumps, 2 bikes, 2 oil leaks....
bleeding seems to have slowed/stopped after a tablespoon or more has seeped out and i dried it off. have not had a chance to take it in for repair yet, but I will report back once i do.
I remember reading about a new bike with this issue. The dealer said it was cos the forks had been horizontal before assembly,was all angles it stopped like yours after a little bit.
I've had exactly the same issue on some new Ohlins forks. Get a small Allen Key which fits the compression damping screw and screw it all the way in (Count the clicks) Then screw it all the way back out, then all the way back in again, then back to where it was the same amount of clicks you counted. Clean off excess oil. Chances are this'll reseat the O-Rings and cure it... Worked with mine.
UPDATE: Still slowly leaking. The dealer contacted Triumph, and they requested the entire left side of the fork to investigate. Triumph is shipping a new part from England and the dealer is replacing the entire left side of the fork under warranty for no charge. Mostly just an inconvenience at this point, and hopefully its just a one off issue, as I received one of the first RS models state side.
So how did this situation work out? Did it finally fix? I have a 2019 Triumph Speed Triple RS that has 500 miles and just had this happen ?
