    Hi all. My speed triple 2016 with 18k has just developed a sml oil weep from the single bolt on the right hand side below the rocker cover but above the head gasket. Just started after I topped up the oil. Any ideas.
    Cheers

    I know it sounds obvious but have you tried just nipping the bolt up slightly

    Is that the cam-chain tensioner?

    The one below the clutch cable? Been known to be loose on another members bike, try nipping it up a bit.
    Are you under warranty? Dealer if you are.
