Just got it firing!
hello from Vancouver bc! I just bought a 2017 v7 special and have it up to 250 km already. Did a few good load runs up hills but didn’t drive it like I stole it lol.
I checked my oil today and it seemed 1/4 to high as the level goes. So I tried draining a bit turns out it wasent much to bring it down to the highest setting. But when I drained a bit into a cup I noticed a very metallic colour being suspended in the oil. And lots of metal on the magnet.
My thoughts are I should do an oil change. Why not right? But I’m not sure, due to the idea that maybe the factory oil is a special mineral oil or some sort of break in synthetic stuff.
Was wondering if anyone knows?
Also I have this very pungent smell of almost burning rubber/synthetic smell coming from just below the tank inbetween the pistons and the battery. Is this a normal break-in smell or am I burning out my clutch pads? Lol doesn’t really smell like paint. But I could be wrong.
Cheers
