    finaly got my bike back from dealer after they had it for nearly 8weeks

    i was not happy with the length of time it took to replace bearings in gearbox....

    but it was great to take a ride with a few mates.just come home after 2500km long weekend

    turns the speedo around to 16000 kms so in keeping with the  service sched i have taken on, i changed all the oils

    i dont believe it.......   there is shiny shit at the bottom of oil container used for draining transmission oil 

    you can see a mixture of silver + bronze dust in the oil

    there is only a small amount but i certainly didnt expect any.

       any  suggestions  ?

    no doesnt seem any noisier than usual
    im thinking of running it for another 2000kms then changing the oil again + have another look
    isolation is my biggest problem livin out in the scrub
    i guess if there is crap in the next oil change ill hav ta take the thing to morgan+wackers in bris 650kms away
    at least i have plenty of warranty left and spoke to serv tech at above shop yesterday,they dont seem to have a problem with me servicing the bike as long as i use gen parts
    i was a bit concerned that i may have some probs with warranty not being able to get to a dealer for every service

    hey fatboy
    what the hell is a speed pick up sensor and i told dealer i have been using screamin eagle syn oils in all holes
    would have liked to have tried amsoil in trans but worried about warranty issues
