Re: [St] Oil Change

[Todd J <me_shucker@xxxxxxxxx>]

On my 01, I have seen the reflective tape, onthe inside of the plastics, slightly cracked and cooked but no melting of the plastics. 
   
  Check to see if the fairing attachment hangers are bent causing the fairing to be too close to the hot parts. 

HTH,

  After much procrastination I finally manage to change my oil and renew the 
brakes all round. Although the front had 30% left the rear was, well lets 
just say I am glad I did it today. I found both VERY easy to complete having 
both completed within an hour. Tremendous difference on the front lever now 
:)

Moving onto the oil change I decided to go with the Triumph stock filter 
after all the comments made about Fran. Having never competed this task on a 
Triumph before I decided to remove the lower right fairing and take a look 
around. That's when I saw the problem. It seems the lower right fairing has 
been a little too close to the exhaust and melted in two places. The oil 
change went as expected and thanks to comments made earlier I managed to 
find the drain plug without any difficulty.

Has anyone else found the same problem with the fairing on a 99 ST?
