Hi folks, I have a Thunderbird Storm, 2011 & I’ve changed the engine oil and it smells of petrol, has anybody else experienced this issue? All comments gratefully received.
Many thanks.

Sorry old chap, we all have 4 wheeled Triumphs. You need to find a motorbike forum. 

As to oil smelling of petrol, means some it getting past the rings, likely from overfuelling.

Yes although any high mileage oil will tend to pick up a smell of petrol or also if only run for short distances. I would change it, give it a good thrash and have a sniff again after a few thousand miles...
