Metal Shavings in the Oil Filter - UGH

Ugh. The Yamaha XT225 had metal shavings in the oil filter, so I decided to tear the engine down. This is NOT the way I wanted to be spending the summer riding season but, hey, the bike has given almost 17,000 pretty hard miles. Sooner or later it's going to need some attention, I guess.

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on YouTube.

Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!
