Default Primary question on my Heritage
Ok, I've changed my primary fluids once a year since I bought the bike.Each year I find fuzz on the plug magnet. It is only fuzz but there might be just a small amount of metal shavings, not much. My question is this: I had hoped that it would stop being there over time. I average about six thousand miles a year on the bike. Im hoping this is normal, or do I have a problem. I have heard of felt nothing wrong coming from the Primary. Please let me know your thoughts.

Lynn

It is from the clutch pressure plates I believe and it is common wear.
