  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

So I purchased the 511 SMR with 1500 miles on it, it came with a fsh, next offical service isnt required for some time but I like to keep my bikes serviced every 500 miles. So I purchased all the relevant bits and got to servicing it on the weekend. Apart from someone over tightening the sump plug and both metal filter bolts it went great until I found the below attached to the magnetic sump plug. Anyone got any ideas what/where it came from?

Does not look good. Engine make any noise? Maybe look at the torque limiter that is said to fail sometimes on these. It is located on the clutch and should be EZ to pop the cover and look at it.
 
Cheers, engine sounds great no rattles or knocks. Ill check the manual for the torque limiter location.
 
Certainly not a bearing or bearing casing fortunately, looks like it was a flat piece of metal so that should narrow it down, certainly worth popping the whole clutch cover off and having a look inside if nothing there then pop the rocker cover off, if nothing there ride it like you stole it and pretend you never found it.
