What the heck is this on my oil pump?

The dreaded legendary crankcase mouse! Most likely couldn't escape due to a clogged breather! Legend has it if dried it can be sold as a loofa! Should not be confused with bellybutton lint or pocket fluff. As for what you pull out of the drain after wifey takes a shower. Answers like that got me a brand new model wifey and a negative bank account!:blink: Thrice!:whistle: :woohoo:

well i was going to be a smartass and reply to the topic question with....oil.
but after seeing it i cant believe that would be in the motor period.

hope you get it figured out.

Your Kawi coughed up a hairball man :laugh:

I offer up these names for it
Smegma
Gakimoe
Shemp
Sputz
Sump Sausage
That guy who was beaming up when the transporter malfunctions
rare earth
Spoo
Harley Hair
Peanut Butter Fuzz (Super Chunk)
Laura's drain Clog (not my idea)
Thank God I didn't Step on it
Ozzy's Bat
Little Brown WTF
Screen Parker
Mo Hair Ball
Trump's Hump

OK ! Meds and then going horizontal! You don't have to tell me twice! Anyway good thing you got it out of there! Promise us you will destroy it!

has anybody been inside the motor before?i wonder if somebody had cylinder off before and dropped a rag in there and forgot about.:S

I am the only one who has been in the motor. I had it apart completeley a few years when I turned it into a streetfighter. Jeff, I thought it might be a paper towel but the fibers are way to strong. I peeled off about 3 stands and it was all I could do to pull them apart and break them. They are STRONG. I like the clutch fiber idea but I haven't had the clutch cover off yet. Imagine my horrow when I crawled under the bike with a shop light and saw this hanging from my pump. I will take the pump out tomorrow just to make sure that none of it got past the screen. Once I get everything back together I will run it for 100 miles or so and then tkae the pan off again and see if any of it appears again. I will run just motorcycle oil, no additives. I will also hang a sign on the bike informing people that introducing any foreign materials into my motor will insure that they are quickly reunited with the loved ones that have died. I have also decided to dry out the Kaw Hair (thanks Moon) and have it mounted so I can display it in the garage. "What the hell is that Shane?" "I don't know..you tell me".

Shane, That ain't clutch "fiber"... I have seen fragged clutches in the pan and on the oil screen enough times to know.

Could also be the 535 hacked up a hair-ball and spit it into the intake on the Kaw... (snicker hehe)

Don't worry about this stuff if you have cleaned it out. It isn't from the engine so as long as you don't repeat whatever got it in the oil (likely via a removed valve cover) it probably won't reappear. Just check again in a couple oil changes.

I vote for sump sausage:laugh:

You also get my vote for:

"Wierdest object removed from an engine"

at next year's Kawis Awards.

I think I got it...look closely

How about a scouring pad? Maybe something was stuffed into the cam chain well so nothing fell in when cleaning gasket? Jimmy Hoffa's Angora wallet? What the hell IS that green thing Wirewulf? Maybe I don't wanna know!

Put it on E-Bay maybe some casino will buy it for thousands$$$!
