Today i changed the oil as a 5000 km small service on my ST2.
Drained the oil, put new oil in, disconnected the sparkplug leads, turned the engine over, but the light stayed on.
So started doing some checks. Removed the oil pressure switch, and with my footpump, is tested wether the switch was bad, No it wasn't. So also no electrical fault, because after putting pressure on the switch, the light would go out.
With the pressure switch removed, i could see the oil was beeing pumped, because it would come out of the hole where the switch sits.
Drained all the oil again, and found something horrific.
Metal particles. But a big to big to not be worried about it.
Bottomline.
Not happy. espacially because i have a trackday coming up in 15 days. that's not going to happen. Oh and the fact it will cost a buttload of money, that too. And i'll ride my car to work everyday. Crap!
Anybody had something similar happen?
so after 77.900 km (48.400 Miles). its over and out.
