how much metal should have been in filter its the second oil change im not sure the dealer cleaned the filter the first time it has some alloy color metal and some tan colored any info would be great

 

Metal in the filter is pretty common on the Warrior/Wolverine motors. As long as it does not become excessive, I would not worry about it.

Mine has done that since I got it new in 96 and I am still on my original bore and the tranny is still tight and shifts great.

 

Sounds like dirt entry. Get an oil sample the next time you ride and send it off to get anaylised.

 

You said tan colored stuff, does it look like metal, or something else? the reason I ask is mine did that when new,had little chunks of brown stuff, even after the break in period and the metal particles were gone. Turned out to be chunks of the auto clutch shoes being torn up by a broken spring,ended up ruining a trip I was on, got so bad it started to rattle in the clutch case. If the brown peices look like brake material, it could be that,keep an eye on it, after a few oil changes, if it seems worse, or hasn't gotten any better, might not be a bad idea to take the right case cover off and check it out. I may be way off, but metal filings should be silver,not brown or tan.

 

okay its maily fine peices of metal the filter was not totaly covered but in places it was thicker than other on the filter also i ask this cause its under warrenty also being a meachanic i would not think it should have as much as it did but its different than a car motor

 

not to worry change it a couple of times and it will go away![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Some of that is probably due to the valves coming out of adjusment because its new. Its common. My clutch carrier also was grinding up and that caused alot of shavings and it eventually got shavings in the crankshaft and siezed it up. The shavings were really bad on mine when this happened. So if it gets really bad you better check it out because it can result in a blown engine.
