Last time I was out on CERBERUS the next day there was a little bit of oil on the garage floor Wasn’t sure if it was engine oil or that stuff that they use on the bike when it’s in transit I wiped the left side of the engine down and thought I’d keep an eye on it Went to Newcastle Triumph on Wednesday to do the test ride and deal on the Tiger a round trip of less than 20miles Been in the garage today checking the bike over before I hand it back tomorrow and left side of the engine had oil down the side of it again It’s a bit blurry (sorry) but that bolt at the back has a copper seal washer on it I don’t know what it’s for It’s certainly tight though but because I don’t know what it’s for and I’m getting rid I’m not touching it I will tell them that I think this is where the oil is coming from Anyone with one of these Rockets might want to check this Hopefully this is the only one
As I dropped the bike off at Newcastle Triumph this morning I told Kevin about the leak and he didn’t even look before saying that it’s the copper washer that’s leaking He knows about it as they’ve had a few of them leaking from the same place They’ve ordered a bag of copper washers ready for any other bikes coming in So if you’ve got a new Rocket it’s worth keeping an eye on it

Hi I've just brought a used rocket 3 off triumph Newcastle 4weeks ago with just 500 miles on the clock. Got it back to Grimsby to discover a week later it has the same problem!!! Could you tell me the reg of the rocket you gave back please.
