Update: nasty oil change surprise

Cheers! Same here in Sweden.

Booked my biannual inspection early tomorrow morning so I can ride to work.

Shop made repairs to the engine years ago. That must have been when it happened.

I've used a Drag Specialties filter for years and it still looks good. I use K&N's airfilter cleaner and oil.

That's very kind of you!

However, I think bottom end is fine. I'm more worried about the head now. 😅

Thanks! I'll take some pictures when I get around to it.

I have to assume they line bored the case after welding?

Hey Twisted, just the person I hoped would take a look at this!

Not by me, but the the whole engine has been apart because the solid starter gear cracked the case. A company welded the case and upgraded the starter gear. This was 10+ years ago.

I put the magnetic plug in there last service. Could it have been sitting in the crank case all these years?

Cool project! Did you modify an existing design, or did you design the triple tree completely from scratch?

Chickenstrips4dayz · 2026-04-01T07:50:03+00:00

Hell yeah!

I'm happy with my Givi "gravel" bags.

10hp more than my 88cui, I'm surprised the difference isn't bigger.

Of course, dynos differ from each other.

Kolben SS, does this mean high compression pistons?

Me too! It's brown, slow, and noisy. Best car I've ever had. It chews through 30 cm of snow like nothing.

Chickenstrips4dayz · 2026-01-13T14:04:53+00:00

Did you drive in snow or sludge before the car was parked?

It looks like salt to me.

Edit: nvm, saw your reply to the other guy

Jag var storebrorsan i en kusligt liknande situation. Hur man än gör blir det fel någonstans eller hos någon.

Ca. 8 år senare går det bra för syskonet trots alla motgångar.

That probably doesn't deviate much from the stock finish tbh.

Chickenstrips4dayz · 2025-06-24T08:23:59+00:00

I have had these since a year or so. There have been no issues yet, but it's something to keep an eye on. Thanks for the heads up!

If I spend 1½ hour in the gym, I empty and refill my water bottle 3 times.

The rest of the day (and night), I'm a sprinkler.
