Having spent the last week removing all sorts of interesting looking particles from my oil tank, I’m wondering if anyone here has added an inline filter. Given the type of oil pump, I wouldn’t be inclined to add anything with a paper element that would restrict supply. Most newer British motorcycles have a screen to strain out the larger lumps, so thinking a small inline canister, but with a screen large enough to flow enough oil so as to not cause any problems.... like making the pump want to suck air along the shaft from the worm gear. Maybe incorporate a couple of rare earth magnets. Anything to keep some of the abrasive material from lapping in the oil pump and speeding up the sumping. Out off all the crap that was in there, I can’t say there was one piece that I would want to see go through my new pump.
Comments? Am I missing anything?
