Hello everyone,

I recently performed a routine service on my 2012 Husaberg FE 350 and noticed something concerning. When I removed the oil screen, I found a bent washer inside the compartment. The washer appears scratched, with some material missing, and has what looks like teeth marks, which makes me think it may have gone through the gearbox. There was also a noticeable buildup on the oil screen.

A couple of rides ago, before I knew about this, I had an issue where it was very hard to change gears, and when I came to a stop with the clutch in, the bike would stall. However, on my most recent ride, it seemed to be working fine again.

For now, I’ve decided not to run the bike until I can diagnose the issue. Any insights, advice, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Nico

How thick is the washer?
