Hi Guys
I would like to get your opinions about something that happend on my Brothers Kawasaki...
The bike is a KX250F 2006 model...
Here is the "problem":
He just took the bike off from a mechanic shop that he changed the piston rings and valve seals nothing else...
As he took it, my brother and his friend make a service (oil, oil filter etc) BUT his friend put the oil filter upside down which made the engine dry from oil! He only start the bike ond rode it for 500 meters and as he pulled the clutch the bike stalled and the kickstarter stuck....
We let the bike to be cool and after that the kickstarter worked again!!
First thing we did was to check the oil filter as i told them and then we noticed what his friend had done!
After that i added a new one correct and i check the cylinder head and i saw some iron filings at the back of the front camshaft!
Then we start the bike and the bike worked perfect with no issues...after 3-4 hours of use i replace again the oil filter and i saw that there wasn't any iron filings on it...
Now the bike have 8 hours of use and i can't notice anything wrong with it!!
Can someone please tell me if there is a risk of getting some damage after 8 hours use...??
I just want your first thoughts!
PS: we only Enduro riding we don't race!!
Thanks
