MrTJ Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Well, i was changing the oil in my banshee today and i happen to notice some metal shaving in the oil pan after i emptyed it. i never had this happen before, so im worried. i have not driven in in about 2 months, because on my last ride i crashed and broke my collar bone. Just before I did that i put a new set of t6's on it. it seemed to be running fine and had no probloms, but appently somthing is going on. The top end has about 2 years on it and the bottom end is still stock. Am I going to be rebuilding it again here shortly? I suppose one possible explnation but is probally just wishfull thinking is that the spot where you screw the oil plug in is partly stripped, it wouldnt just be the threads falling off woul it? thanks Quote
joshv5.0 Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 probably shavings from the transmission or something near the clutches since thats the only parts that are lubed by your gear oil Quote
MrTJ Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Posted July 30, 2005 Are the shavings aluminum or steel? 398983[/snapback] how do you tell? Quote
stclark816 Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 use a magnet 398993[/snapback] Good call. Quote
MrTJ Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Posted July 31, 2005 Are the shavings aluminum or steel? 398983[/snapback] use a magnet 398993[/snapback] Steel is magnetic right? The shavings diddnt stick to the magnet so... aluminum? Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Steel is magnetic right? The shavings diddnt stick to the magnet so... aluminum? 399286[/snapback] im guessing parts of your clutch basket, inner and outer hubs and pressure plate as well as your steels and fibers. sounds like its time for new parts.

racer Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 yup. pull the right side motor cover to be sure. but be sure to drain the coolant first! Quote
kw04 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Posted August 1, 2005 man that sucks but you can bring it to the house and do it if you want instead of the storage place. Quote
