Bronze bits on oil screen

fasteddy · May 23, 2009

2008 FE550, 17 hrs, third oil change, ( changed oil at 3, 8 and now at 17 hrs) using Motul 300V 15W50. Found some bronze bits on the oil screen, should I be worried about this or is this normal bit shedding on an Berg engine thats running in?? I've included a pic of the debris.

As much as I hate to say it.....I agree with Ned 8O

Looks OK for a Berg.

pull the clutch slave off there is a small bronze bush inside the gearbox input shaft, this is likely where the flakes come from.

my bike did 170hrs with that many flakes every 4 hours. I don't know how that much bronze can come out of one bushing but I replaced it and since then got no more flakes.

Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise, I'll keep an eye on it just the same and continue to enjoy the BERG experience.
