Hey guys yesterday night I did an oil change and spark plug check on my uncle's bikes which we usually take out when I take my 400 out.
Well anyways his honda 300 was perfect considering he hasn't changed the oil in like 2 years. The plug looked good but we replaced it anyways and with the new oil it started ont he first puch of the button.. Great machine
on to his second bike which is a kawi Dakota Sport (The tank #1). The oil was bad like the 300 since it hadn't been changed for so long, the plug was a lil dark but nothing major and after the new plug and oil were in it also started up on the first push of the button.
OK now the problems start when we got to his other Kawi Dakota Sport (The Tank #2) . ABout 2 months ago the pipe fell off at Glamis and the bike was ridden by a friend (Dunb *****) for awhile without it before he let us know about it. Anyways the bike never ran the same even after the pipe was re installed but we figured maybe the pipe was gone on it. OK well I first drain the oil which also looks like cramp than move to the filter. OK the filter had tons of crap on it which I figure is very bad and I have never seen before. It looked to me like gasket pieces on the entire outside of it. Also you can see the metal flakes sparkling in the filter. I figure this is bad... Well we replaced the filter put a new plug in since the plug it had was really black. Started up the bike with no problem even thou it sounds like a harley now... lol
Well my question is what do you think is wrong in the engine. I figure there is a major problem since there were metal flakes in the filter as well as what looked like to be pieces of gasket.
Let me know...
