Debris in sump

[Karl Tyrson]

Greetings friends, I am quite terrified. After repairing and taking care of almost everything, the oil light kept coming up on the highways so we brought down the sump only to find this. does anyone knows what can this be? The bike turns on, rides quite well, gears change is ok, but the oil pressure was low (hence the sump removal) but there is so much debris. Please, help!

That don't look good at all

Hmmm, low pressure.....still runs....my thoughts have no bearings on the issue. Time for a tear down.

I found a thread here with an image of debris from the torsional damper bearing, could it be?

You're right, incorrectly installed bearing, screens in the debris
, and therefore low oil pressure.

But there are pieces in this pics that seems joint by riveting like some kind of clamp or hugger not quite a bearing

Considering that you have a 2005 and such photos are not uncommon for owners of early Rockets, you will know for sure when you disconnect the torsional damper cover.

You are right, analyzing ‘em closer it all seems to be that, hope this debris didn’t affect anything else

Yes torsional damper bearings. Also you have the old style sump pan 2004. In 05 the changed it right before they introduced the Black engines.
