Hey guys, I went to switch out my oil filter today after reading about another k&n filter going to bits, and when I dumped out what was left in the k&n filter into the pan... sparkles. My motor only has 3500 miles on it and getting really worried. Any ideas where to start? I’m the second owner and I only got it 500-600 miles ago so I’m not sure how it was treated before.
It's easy to worry too much. Running in creates wear as the surfaces bed in. The oil filters there to catch the bits that result from this.
Like HM says put oil in and ride.
You should see the fork oil that came out of my bike after only 10,000 klm. Nothing wrong with them.
You could pay a bike shop to do the maintance. Think they take great care and check everything thourghly, errr not in the shops I've been in.
