Hey dawgs

Been awhile since last post. Been mostly snowmobiling here in north east. Anyways been getting my 07 bulldog ready for season and just had full service done at reputable place by reliable mechanic. He noticed that when draining oils there was a lot of metal in all of the oils. He also adjusted loose primary chain. Is it safe to assume that it was likely the chain or should i be searching for something else? Dont want to start opening up stuff if not necessary. First time ive ever had metal in oils. 8000 miles with OE. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

if it was just the primary, it could be as simple as the clutch discs with normal wear. if it was chunks, might want to think about going a little deeper.

1+ and if there is a lot of metal in the oil bag, start saving your $$

It's just too easy to take the outer primary cover off to check the clutch basket and its famous nut. And what a cheap way to achieve peace of mind....

Well worth the short amount of time to pull outer..

I just did one on a K9, hub nut was tight, but the bearing on the input shaft for the transmission was starting to go bad.

Very likely primary oil Will have some metal in it. If he drained all the oil into a single container then it would be hard to tell where it came from.

Agree, and if he saved the filter, it could be cut open to look for metal, ( a good mechanic would have done this if suspecting )
