Assuming that we are talking about "particles" in the clutch,
then I would would think any piece of the clutch large
enough to cause scoring should be picked up by a good
multimedia filter.
The 37k oil/filter change was a bit extreme. This last time I went ahead
and changed the filter at 25k and simply poured the old oil back
in to the bike. No doubt I'll leave this oil in the bike for another
25k then just change oil and filter. Addititives should be at
50% at 50k. I doubt the viscosity will have changed at all.
I only have 65k on the bike so have yet to see any bearing problems.
In fact I have yet to see any engine problems at all.
She starts first time, every time.
God, ain't the Bandit grand.
I am curious as to what a clutch patical would look like on an oil test.
Any ideas? Iron? Silicon?
Oh Well, If I fry the engine do to my poor maintaince then I will
finally have an excuse to do my 1340cc rebuild.
My bike, however insists on running well and even those pesky
Suzuki cams still look good after all this time running the A-oil.
Maybe I'll get to rebuild at 200k. 300k?
