Tiger 955i Oil Leak
I got home after a short trip out on my 2003 Tiger, to find the back end of the bike (including the tyre)covered in oil.
After degreasing everything and then running the engine, it turns out to be a damaged oil filter. The enamel paint has been chipped off the filter and the oil was seeping out pretty quickley once the engine was running.
I'm lucky that it was a short journey and I never ran out of oil. Has anyone else seen this?
I'm about to take replace the filter and will know more once I've got it off. I'm assuming that it may have been damaged by a stone from the front tyre or possible just damaged by rough fitting by a Neanderthal.
More to follow..........
