I recently had the engine on my '02 fs650 go pop after about 2hrs of riding from when I bought it :-(
Basically the a rocker went through the rocker cover.
Anyway I fitted new '03 rockers, '03 cam, cam chain and rocker cover etc etc.
After the rebuild I rode it for approx 1hr and changed the oil/checked rockers. There was a little metal on the filter but nothing much.
However, I have since done 5hrs of relatively easy riding and changed the oil again to find quite a lot of metal bits on the filter.
Should I be worried or is this the norm and give it another hour or so and check again?
