Strewth, that looks like silver paint!
Don’t panick though, not just yet anyhow, let the oil settle first, ideally over night or more. Air bubbles can look a lot like metallic particles. Sounds daft, but it’s true.
If it really is that bad, I’d be sending some oil off for proffesinal analysis to tell me what the particles are.
Maybe that's where the Norton silver came from
Hello pingu-nz , Is the motor oil Ok ? Is this the same oil as the motor ? Could it be aluminum particles ? It looks so silvery. What brand of oil are you running ? Is it possible that the inside of the primary case had a coating on your bike ? You have more than 6000 miles on your bike now. How did the other oil changes look ? The Primary case is the transmission lubricant as well . I think you should get an analysis also. Maybe Norton can help here ?
Not yetHi Paul,
Any update on this?
Cheers
Paul.
