I've just oil changed a 2012 Panigale with 7000 km on it and found the same small, brown plastic tabs, 6 of them. The engine is raced, and it's been in my care since day one, with oil changes every 1500 km. Never had a trace of crap in the oil before, and I scrutinise the oil carefully like a gold miner panning for gold with every oil change.
I'm stripping another engine fully, but doubt if I'll have time to open this one before testing tomorrow at Barcelona.
It's damn annoying....
What?Race engine with an oil change every 1500km no bueno
Would you disclose what the reason for the DNF was? I am just curious.
BTW: When I did the oil change at the beginning of this season, some plastic bits still came... And there have been numerous oil changes on my 2012 1199S...
They do? Can you show a reference to that?
