Hey Guys,

I just got my first service done on my 899 and was suprised to see how much metal was on the drain plug. Anyone else with a 899/1199 get this much metal on the plug? Is this even normal?

Does seem excessive.

I think it is quite normal for first service.

Normal amount of wear particles from transmission gears.

It's about normal for this model.

I've seen much more, and less as well.

If you have a look down deep into the pleats of the filter element you will also get a nasty surprise.

I recommend splitting the oil change interval in half and do the oil/filter changes at 6,000 kms.

Yep, totally normal for first service of any motor.

I'm amazed the OEM plug picked up that much mine didn't. When I went aftermarket that's what mine looked like on the second change.

Normal will reduce each time.
