Na ! Buddy believe me you are not .... Don't worry we are here to help each other how we can .. every opinion bad or not is up to us to determine what is best you.... Have a great weekend be safe God bless 🙏.
 
Ok, It's been since September/ October when I went to Inde Motorsports Park. Ran the bike probably 15-18 laps. Haven't ridden the V4 since then as I have the Norden, KTM and now the Hyper 950. Rode the hell out of the 901 in Death Valley in November.

Anyway, first oil and filter change after that track day:



A lot different than a year or so ago:



Looks like some casting remnants:



Most of the brass or brass looking stuff is not as bad as before:



I was running AMSOIL 15-50 and I did top her off with Motul because well, I had already bought the .... and its bloody expensive.

Bike has 9900 miles with 9 or so track days. Oil changes are always after a track day and every 3,000 miles. Will be doing RL oil next time.
 
Do not start that bike. This is the best opportunity. You will have to get everything out.

The method you described above, will work great.

I ran Virgin redline for about 500 miles and then I dumped it completely

The next time I dumped 500 miles later, it still had a little bit of a greenish tent so I wouldn’t worry too much. It will take you a couple changes to get it all out.

All my miles are very hard and near red line I basically have less than a 20 minute drive to where I’m ripping it up.

I always ran 300 V fresh for track weekends though.

What I’m getting it is your 3000 miles if they weren’t very hard, may not be the Engine killer that it was for me

OK, I think I touched on everything you asked. Good luck, buddy!

Thank you!!!!!
