oil tappet screen

[Alexey]

Hi guys. All of us in the service of our motorcycles wash oil tappets screen. Tell us in what condition you tappet oil screen? What is contamination? The microscopic metal dust?

Alexey, just wash it with a degrease (oven degreaser from your wife´s kitchen does it), then rinse and dry it thoroughly and mount it back. Done!

Or you can use brake cleaner to clean it off.

Off Course Ker, I was just trying to be "practical".... same result for that matter.

I know how to clean it. I ask how much contaminated by your oil screen tappets. Do you see them very small metallic dust particles?

 

[Alexey]

Photos did not. Particles are very small and they are very small, almost invisible

I hardly see anything on mine after 4-5K

X3.......... Alexey, if you see some metal in there....... is wrong. can you take some photos (macro) ? that should be always clean to the eye.

 

[francoblay1]

Do that..... open bottom bolt, (carter) let it take all the shit out .............

how many oil changes since this bike has been in your hands? and how many miles (Kms) has she done?

It might be nothing, maybe just the prior owner didnt know how to change the oils properly.
