I was starting to wonder, too, but I think it might just be skewed
demographics here on the list. It seems that a large number of the folks
who are experiencing fuel sender leaks get their bikes serviced at
CalBMWTriumph. However, we know that the leaks are hitting a lot of
other dealerships, too, and maybe us CalBMW-Triumph folks are just more
chatty. :-)
Contrary to this, though, I walked out to my garage this morning and
noticed a few drips of what looked like oil from under the front
sprocket area. Having just removed my Scottoiler and cleaned out the
sprocket cover last weekend, I was surprised to see the drips. I thought
I was done with that mess! I'm guessing the chain's a bit tight from the
6K service, thus causing that weeping leak others have experienced.
<sigh>
