Tell me people what did your oil look like after the first oil change i got my bike changed the oil to some good stuff then rode it for 2 hours maybe then put in my lightend oil slinger and when i drained the oil it looked so metalic i have been riding bikes for years and never have i seen oil look this bad b4
So guys is this the common thing or what???

[Flarry]

The oil that came in the bike was like this on my lifan but after that I changed the oil quite often and it never got to that state again.

[mangus!!]

it could be coz it was brand new and the gaskets and seals werent properly sealed mine was the same

[motoluver]

That would be because it's a brand new engine. All the metal shavings is nothing to worry about, it's mainly from the engine wearing in.

[sik-pj]

yeh thats wat the motoshop said to me when i put my lifan in my bros avenger motolover is right

[Trashthumpy]

yeah mine had bits ov metal in it nothin to worrie bout unluss ur gettn like big chunks thn ya got a problem

Hey, the oil would probable be run-in oil, which is a slightly thicker viscosity and colour, made to catch all that shit coming from imperfections inside from manufacture.
It should be changed after the first tank of juice. If not sooner..
