I just did my first oil change after a little over 500 miles. I had done a top end on the bike Which is a 1975. It had sat seized for many years.A lot of work and It’s running quite well and I’ve been working the bugs out. I didn’t change the front guide which I’m regretting now. Ugh as it was in good shape. The two filters are both clogged with black fiber not chunks as I have seen in other posts related to the guide. I’m wondering if it could be the clutch plates? That is my next think to look at. I was planning on going on a long trip next week and right now I’m a bit down About it for sure! Here’s some pics of the filters. I’m straining the oil now. I’m thinking either the guide is in crooked, or it’s falling apart otherwise clutch plates or it’s somehow some gasket maker in the oil? Thoughts?
