Bits of engine in my oil!

12-08-2004, 02:55 PM

I gave the Monster an oil change recently as part of her service and there were quite a few metal filings attached to the magnet. I know that there's often a few but there were quite a lot and some of the pieces were not exactly small. She's a 900 Dark on an 02 plate and has done about 7,800 miles. Her last service was just under a year ago.

Has anyone else had this problem, is it quite normal or does it mean that my engine's falling to bits?

They all do that Gorgeous!

Hope you cleaned the strainer plug thats on the engine side too as thats good at catching bigger bits.
