I would like to start motoring the engine oil in case something happen when the bike dropped that is not intermediately noticeable, like abnormal wear.
My question is has anyone sent oil in for analysis? If so do you have any recommendation on what company to use. I currently have a BLACKSTONE laboratories kit in front me and before sending it wanted some input.
Thanks
Did you hole the case and get debris inside? That big engine is going to be pretty tolerant of a little debris, which would be filtered anyway.
Oil analysis is usually meant to detect wear of engine parts, as you said, but if the engine was repaired and the oil drained and replaced along with the filter, I should think there would be nothing to worry about. That's a robust package and the clearances are a little larger than if it were liquid-cooled.
Maybe do it once and see if there is anything going on, it's not that expensive and could not do any harm to have that clean bill of health.
