Those same particles you are talking about can get lodged into lifter bores, where the breather gear is, the oil pump, etc. The HD engine is aluminum and metal chips can do dammage to any/all of those mentioned components and more. Believe what you want, I stand by my beliefs on this .

Did you ever read your private message I sent you regarding the extended warrantee that I sent you weeks ago ???

But not to keep oil chips in to help break in the oil !!! You could change it every 100 miles and it would not hurt anything. If you believe everything the service department is going to tell you you're in for some interesting stories. Go ahead and ask that same service guy about the chips helping break in the engine, I am interested in his reply to you. Why do you think there is s magnet on the drain plug??

I was being fecetious about the drain plug thing. My whole reply was to scr103's claim that you leave the break in oil in for the full 1000 miles because the chips help break in the engine.

Does anyone read a whole thread or just read the last post ???

No problem, I actually don't let any of this get to me. Its all in fun and a discusion between people with a common interest (motorcycles)!

I have said this before, your opinion is worth no more and no less than mine. We are each entitled to one.

That being said if scr103 would like some additional chips for a quicker break in I would be more than willing to help him out if this is what he truly believes, I am just trying to help here :D
