Small Aluminium scrapings in my oil screen

ElSnorro · Apr 28, 2008

Should I worry about this?
They are not magnetic so its alu.. about 15 to 20 very small particles

sorry for the blurry pics

it wouldn't worry me. it's probably the camchain near the water jacket from the sidecover. the chain tends to take a bit of alloy out of there.

Ok, this amount was after about 200 kilometers..
The bike runs just great, and has about 86hours on it.
Can i check by removing my cam chain tensioner if my cam chain should be replaced? And how exactly?

Thanks!

undo the 10mm nut first and then remove the two 5mm mushroom screws.
remove the tensioner gently and count the serrated teeth that have been used.

check the end of the tensioner. does it have the allooy knob on the end still?
if it does you must upgrade to the new tensioner immediately by taking the knob off and the new blade.
at this point a new chain is a 'given'. remove the camchain if you are happy to do it and feed the new one in later by hand.
if not you feed one onto the end of the other and turn the engine.

if you do remove the chain, we have some wear specs in the doc from now on. put there earlier this month.
