I got a couple of tiny slivers of magnetic when I pulled the trans drain plug. Everything else has been nonferrous a couple tiny slivers of aluminum in the bottom of the pan. Looked like casting flash or maybe someone got aggressive with a razor blade cleaning gaskets. There was a few bits of...
Nothing definitive. I pulled the pan and everything looked great except that shiny in the oil. Granted you can't really check the mains or much beyond rods and wrist pin play. I emailed Tim nash and he said he was getting 4psi hot oil pressure while he was testing for a low oil pressure light...
It does pickup with rpm. I'm pretty sure it's fine now other than need the clutch material flushed out. Years ago Tim Nash was developing a oil pressure light (there's a video on utube) I sent him an email and he said he was getting 4psi at idle. The low pressure was part of the reason the light...
That makes me feel better. I had another post on here were I had shiny material in my oil. After pulling the pan I believe 99% of what I was seeing is clutch material. The clutch that's in it looks brand new. It came with a ackro mid pipe, pcv, and I believe a dyno tune. It didn't have the dd...
Thank you. Mine is getting down to 6-7 psi hot. I haven't found any cause yet. Pulled the oil pump and it had some light wear, pulled the oil pan and found a few tiny bits of non ferrous metal but nothing really concerning.
The Oil pump looked great. I was able to reach #3+4 rod ends barely with the oil pump out. I didn't feel any excess play there. I'm going to drop the pan tonight if I have time.
I'd say it's on its way out. 7psi. Hot idle oil pressure. Manual says 7.3 minimum. I checked it with 4 different gauges, all within 1psi. It jumps up to about 45 psi at 3500 rpm and the needle starts to bounce +/- 4psi. I think I'm going to let it cool off and start by inspecting the oil pump...
Will the pan come down without dropping the exhaust? I just glanced at it a I can probably get the bolts out with a shortened allen wrench but it's pretty close to the exhaust crossover. Thanks.
That oil was Castrol power1 10w/40. Now it has Amsoil vtwin 20/50 although it probably won't be in there for long. I don't really have a noticeable noise issue.
I cut the oil filter open with chain pipe cutter. This is the worst/most of what's in there. The oil color looks normal is sun light I think the muddy color is from the camera/lighting. It just has shiny very fine shiny in it. It's definitely nonferrous. I've put 2k miles on this bike. Plenty...
Between a little play in the clutch basket and the fact that it didn't have double clutch springs, the clutch looked pretty good and it came with a pcv I'm just hoping the previous owner smoked the clutch, changed it and sold it.
