Metal on Primary drain plug
#13
Yeah mine too...just fine fuzz. The larger particles would have me concerned, are you getting any excessive noise outside of the norm?

I have never had quite that much but dont think its anything to worry about. It does look as if maybe that fluid has been in there a while longer than maybe it should have been. Dont want to cast doubts at the dealer doing the service but this is one reason I do my own......that way I know for sure. Change the fluid and check it again at next regular scheduled maintenance (15K).

So how does a clutch "come out of adjustment?" Only way I know is if the center adjuster nut was not tightened. A slipping clutch will leave a lot of metal behind. Although primaries will have a lot of metal floating around in there anyway just from normal clutch use and wear.
Myself, I change engine oil, filter, transmission oil and primary oil every time together. I also don't let it ever go past 3000 miles (unless on a trip) and use Syn3 in all 3. So far, so good on 2 different bikes. I have never understood all these theories and advice on using non synthetic oil is somehow better.
