on my first couple oil changes after new shift forks,new clutch plates,and new crank and bore/piston,i am noticing these super super tiny little metallic looking specs in my oil,there seems to be a lot of it considering i think there should be none -not enough in there to form a little pile or nothing like that,they are just floating in there. The specs are so tiny you cant even begin to feel them with your fingers.any ideas on whats wrong or whats causing this? the quad runs/shifts excellent.

 

why did you have it rebuilt ? you blow a piston last time to where there could be fragments left in lower from last time?

 

My engine did the same thing after a top and bottom end rebuild. So did my friend's 250R. I only noticed it on the first oil change.

 

New parts, especially clutch fibers will dirty your oil with particulate matter... This is normal

Also a good reason to change your oil often... I change mine after every weekend of use.

 

if you have pieces of your piston in the tranny oil then you have bigger problems. like a cracked crankcase.

 

im thinking its just the new clutch/shift forks,its not piston pieces or anything.the thing runs absolutely great.

 

good point read that wrong. was thinking of the metalic i seen on my top half of lower end when pulling my jug sorry. smack me!

 

hey 87lt250r,do you know a good place to buy a sleave for an 87 lt250r cylinder?
