primary oil condition?
I am changing the oil in my primary after 3k miles, this is because it was mixed with an oil i dont know and amsoil that I put in before. Using amsoil again. The question is, the oil I am drainindg looks like it has graphite powder through it. Is this normal, like clutch wear?
Thanks

Yes that is normal to a degree, as long as your not finding chunks in there! Actually the more you twist the throttle the more gray **** gets in the oil from your clutch, but it is not significant of any damage, just normal wear and tear. It will diminish over oil changes and depending on how much you like to twist the throttle .

I twist the throtle somtimes but I take care how I ride. I touched a lump that was on the drain plug magnet and when you rubbed it between your fingers it feld smooth like graphite. It was not harsh at all and the oil looks nice and clean with a very very slight graphite look.
Thanks for the reply.
