New Gas gas 450cc owner -metallic oil darn!!!!
Just purchased Road approved 2007 Gasgas 450 Pampera and now I know why it was way cheaper (around 50% less) than comparable KTM450 bikes in the market ...
Gutted as on the test ride the motor seemed to be run fine with no major noises ... was on a gravel road and didn't have time to really go for a long ride.
Now after replacing oil and paper filter and checking metal screen far to many metal flakes copper to a grey metal with heaps of metallic dust/fine meta pieces ... to not be something major
idle the motor hasn't any major noises ...underload I believe there is a deep knocking from either top-end or Big-end Connecting rod
Power wise the bike runs well ...is what sold me think the donk was healthy
...NOW not sure what to do just got a new front tyre road reg >>> gutted
I guess the only option outside just selling it off in parts is pull the motor out and try to work out where all the metal is coming from ...
