oh dear . . .
. . . . did an oil change last night, and found a needle roller from a bearing stuck to the magnetic drain plug.

after a quick look at the haynes i think the only place needle rollers are used are on the gear shafts. they're put on in halves and then the gear is slid over. so this means open heart surgery for my baby. i am not happy, particularly as this bike is my daily transport to work (30m/day).

anyone have any words of wisdom? i'm going to tackle the job myself seeing as i was a mechanic at one time, in a former life.

i'm hoping there won't be too much damage, and the gasket and seal kits won't be too expensive.

wish me luck!
