they are flaking pieces of excess glue keeping magnets to flywheel. i did not see mine popping off but all glue flaked away now. not bothered - cleaned oil filters and using bike as normal..
excess glue keeping magnets on flywheel. nothing bad. clean it all and inspect flywheel of magnets keeping in places
Thanks guys, Strange but it makes sense. Based on the oil flow scematic, and where it was located in the filter, the stuff came from ignition side of the engine. I was thinking plastic from a chain cam tensioner but since I've never had it apart I didn't know if there were plastic components in there. Closer inpection reveals that it's too brittle to be a plastic component. So glue makes sense Thanks again !
they are orange n most cases, mine popped out and magnets still on place but i have heard about loose magnets.. worth to inspect when oil is out... as you can see on picture on lhs there is bit left...
OK... I finally realized why I was confused, there were 2 virtually identical threads started by the same person at about the same time - there was probably a technical issue with the site. I merged the 2 threads to avoid more confusion. Hope that is ok.
Yes, that was me. The first time I posted I got an error message that said failure due to data base conflict. I backed up and re-entered and then their were 2 identical posts. Sorry for the confusion
