This is the SS filter out of my 2010 TC250 with ~350 hrs and right after I changed out the rings ... I can't believe how clean it is straight out of the bike. My 08 TXC engine always had lots of metal shavings in it ... And that bike went well over 1000 hrs before any issues. This is straight out of the engine and only the oil has dripped off it ... This is after I cleaned it with WD40 ...
Looks good, there's probably lots of really fine metal particles attached to it. I wish these would come oem on motorcycles, but then filter companies would go out of business..
Most of us were raised on the paper filters and know nothing else ... After seeing how many PRO racers were using them in their cars, bikes, planes ... I felt ok about swapping over ... Since my bikes do not have a magnetic plug, the moment of truth on an oil change is looking at that filter for metal large enough to see with my eyes ...
Every bike I've had since '89! (mostly Honda XRs) gets a mag drain plug. Cheap and effective insurance
husky really cheaps out on the little stuff as time goes by. husky used to always have magnetic plugs. all my swedes do and my 95 even has one stock?!? when did they quit?
its possible they kept them on the two strokes, but ray is saying his bikes dont have them, unless he is speaking about his 4 strokes only. sorry, just put a ss braided front brake line on my 95..had to use one off of my 80s stash as they had them stock! i wondered why my 95 always felt a bit mushy....after i took the outer housing off a bit from the line i saw it was plastic!! i felt a bit let down, lol..
