heh heh heh,...coming from a guy who makes frequent stops at gas-stations,to collect the used kitty-litter for his underwear...(nothin like skid-marks and oil,eh Don):laugh:

Seriously though...like asked...define "Crud"...

Was it schmag?(crumpet-droppings that fell from your beard)...

Maybe it was snackage?(boogers that fell from your moustache)...

Could be,maybe you farted out of excitement,and something flew out of your pant-leg,and ended up in the engine?(that's not a fart...that's a "Shart",mmmmkayyyy...)

What did you drop in there?

And yes...drop the pan when in doubt...it's only time,bolts and gaskets(and $)...and piece of mind(become one with you're bottom-end:huh: )

Was it gasket material...or was it something metal?

Was it a socket?...or something bigger...the handlebars?:ohmy:

Do you have a retractable,extendable magnet?(got time for fishing?)
Lots of light,and a magnet...don't expect to get lucky right away(speaking from experience)...if you don't like what fell in there,there's a reason.
Before you do the "Tear-down"...stop and think about it...don't rush it!

I've said it before,and I'll say it again...throw the phone across the street(not needed,trade it for an owners manual for your breed of bike)...feed all pets and kids,and tell them all to go play in the snow...tell the Warden you love her...give her some money,and tell her to go gamble and have fun...:kiss:

Now...LOCK THE DOORS!!

Bring the bike into the living-room... grab the pillows and blankets from your bed,to support the bike (divorce is only a word,and you're better than that)...

Now it's nap-time,mmmmkaayyyyyy
Turn the T.V.on and put it on the "Speed" channel...

Lay down beside your bike and lock your fingers into the spokes of the rear wheel(handcuffs help)


You're in good hands

Where is the Canadian Beer? How do you expect to fix anything without Canadian Beer? :huh: Tell the wife before she hits the casino to bring you back 2 sixers of Molson. As for the rinse I'd use Marvel Mystery Oil. Not too keen on using carb cleaner. Even wd40 would be better.

look at the pictures of my bottom end, there's a lot of collected crud, I think it would be worth pulling that oil pan off and give it a good cleanout.

I found my cam chain guide in my pan. That was cool.
