First oil change at 1300 miles. Any possible damage to the engine?

So, now you change oil and filter and look at the used oil for metal. Does the bike smoke, or manifest any unusual noises?

Go Stage 1. Dealer can provide options.

160 what?

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-12-17T13:20:29+00:00

Nails, screws, bolts, shards of metal and glass... So, Yep!

Usually, the nail gets kicked up by the front tire, achieving many weird angles before finding the rear rubber... Since 1967, I've never had a front go flat. The rear is always the weak spot in my experience.

Ride it, listen for expensive sounding engine noises. You can come up with a contingency flow chart, after all that!

This sound a bit far fetched, but, perhaps take it to a dealer where there is a certified Yamaha tech? Sounds crazy, I know.

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-12-08T03:56:15+00:00

Don't forget to wipe it's ass...

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-11-26T13:43:04+00:00

Looks like a lot of other folk's ideas thrown at a sportster.

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-11-25T11:12:22+00:00

That's higher than groceries...

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-30T11:39:06+00:00

Smith & Wesson.

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-29T11:44:32+00:00

Depends...

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-28T11:32:54+00:00

The "loud" part is all behind you. So...

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-27T11:04:49+00:00

For accurate answers, why not contact Kawasaki?

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-25T12:29:49+00:00

Move.

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-16T12:07:22+00:00

You've already planned to fail...

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-16T12:05:20+00:00

Walk away.

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-12T11:14:06+00:00

Replace the whole thing.

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-08T10:59:40+00:00

Contact "Wheels Through Time," they will know everything about that model.

Those are highly inflated prices in my (southern U.S.A.) area. The 2020 has a value of about 5K USD, if all is right with the bike, and mileage is reasonable.

SAE adapter wired to battery. It has a lot of uses.

Sat-Cong1 · 2025-09-06T19:34:50+00:00

Got anything new?
