A picture of the crap I found in the screen. I can't figure out what it is. It is not magnetic. Today I inspected my other bike and there was hardly anything to see in the screen and it has about the same milage.
I didn't change the bearings; to torque the rods I use the tool from the picture; Carrillo wants to torque them on stretch 0.130 mm

Yup, I couldn't figure out for life of me what was crap in my pickup screen, stuff looked like granola crumbles! As I said bike had 2K miles when I cleaned the screen so it had to be something from factory.
Would you be willing to post a photo of that screen with a quarter or something for scale (unless you’ve already reinstalled it)? Thank you.
Double trouble?
I do not get the factory’s reasoning on that part..
That paper towel in dudes screen coulda went thru the pump and got deposited on the outside of the filter element and his .... would still be running
What are they so worried about that they doubled up??? What’s the logic here?
*Yes I like mick have a critical fault finding mind : )

Hey Donald what clutch fibers have you been using over the years in that engine??? Oem or aftermarket?
Hard to imagine you having a paper towel in one of the holes (oil fill or breather or the like) and it getting pushed inside without you knowing. Hard to imagine any oil filter doing that too. Even if it were made by Bounty : )
Where else could that crap have come from???
Could it be the coating from the piston skirts???

I never had to change clutch plates yet.
Today I inspected my spare engine. It was used on the track about two years. There was the same crap in the pick up, but a little less compared to the broken engine. It looks a bit like the stuff that is in the filter of a washing machine.
I use my Panigales only on the track and I change the oil and filter about every 500 km/miles. So in both engines I have used almost 10 oil filters. Maybe there is some loose filter material in a new filter. I use HiFlo filters.
But of course in the future I will clean the pickup screen with every oil change.

Gotta agree with Don on this one. close to 20K on the 1299 engine that just had a refresh. Pump filter, clean, oil filter screen, clean. OEM filters only. I changed the oil and filter 100 miles after first assembly and every 3K since. Same procedure this round. Engine internals looked brand new. Oil pump cavities were clean. Cam journals and caps were free of noticeable wear. Valves were in spec, main and rod bearings were replaced but didn't need to be. Attention to detail is key and don't use questionable aftermarket parts. Be interested to see what that material is.
