Just got it firing!
Hi
Removed the sump to change the oil filter on a friends 1100 stone 03 model and found debris in the sump. I also cut open the filter and found some in there too. Never seen anything like it before its not shavings or bearing material, its metallic (checked by using a magnet) it looks like fine bits of rust. You can crush it between your finger. Initially it looked like bits of paint. Its in various sizes from very fine to quite visible.
I also found a small amount of emulsified oil in the sump and rocker covers due to short runs.
The bike has done a genuine 11,000 miles.
Has anyone come across this before
