as stated i have a now great running 750 frame with a 1978 1000 engine, lots of goodies on it
i ran the bike about 40 miles on the filter that the engine shipped with and when i dropped the oil it was incredibly dirty and some alarming chunks of metal. some of the larger
shavings about half a mill. they do not seem to be magnetic and the color resembled exactly what came out of my 750's engine.
i'm going to pull the clutch off and see if i can find the source of the shavings, has the infamous clutch rattle. any suggestions of where to look?
can i get to the rod bearings if i remove the oil pan?
i understand the clutch should put some amount of metal shavings in the oil but comparisons would be nice to see. i'm going to drop the cheap rotella t4 i put in it again after 50 more miles and see what it looks like.
