Hi, Sorry i did not respond when you commented on my post previously, i do not come on here often. I had similar findings to you, my oil was very dirty with swarf for a few changes after i built it up. I just kept riding it and changing it and eventually it went back to normal. My guess is its the gears meshing back together as they have been disturbed.
I had the bike for a good while after the issue with no other problems! Gear box never felt any different from when the washer was broken nor when i fixed it, not sure what caused it!
Best of luck hope yours sorts itself out as mine did.
FYI, it was one of the parts reggie mentioned, just a little washer. Just got to build the top end back up and put it in the bike now, thanks for your help!
Thanks guys,reggie they’re exactly the parts I was thinking. The engine is now on the work bench I couldn’t leave it, hopefully split the cases tomorrow and find out the issue!
Hoping you can help me out! I changed the oil in my 2016 evo factory yesterday, and as I was putting the sump back in I noticed some swarf poking out the sump. Using the magnet I fished out all I can, there was no sign of anymore but now I’m a bit unsure what to do!
From my motocross days i’d Split the engine no questions asked, but strangely the gearbox feels absolutely fine, In fact I only put 500ml of oil in this time rather than 550 and it feels the best it’s ever been. It also didn’t miss a beat Sunday. I have no idea when the part broke but I’m reluctant to split the engine as I can’t find anything wrong with the bike!
I’ve looked at the parts diagram and I can’t see anything resembling what I’ve found. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Or does anyone recognise the chewed up parts?
Planning on riding it Wednesday and seeing how it goes...
