Critique my ARX oil filter please

[Shaman]

This is coming out of the ARX in a motorcycle. These filters are from an ARX cleaning using recommended oil. (Rotella T 5-40) I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but others have. Please check the pics and let me know what I am missing. Please circle or highlight so I can understand

I was rough cutting it open, because the blade I used wasn’t the best. These pics are from a while ago, so I don't have the filter, and I am out of the country, so it will be hard to get to some information.

That is some muddy looking ick in that drain pan!

The filters held up okay, it looks like.

Thanks for the pics!

If I remember correctly, it's a mix of muck from a bike coolant system with a leak in the bottom most hose cooking the coolant, rust and lime dremeled off of the coolant system, and the oil from the cans, plus the metal shaving. Can you highlight the areas you were referring to earlier?

That filter has a lot of abrasive particles that I can see with my naked eye. Does your bike have an air filter? How often do you change the oil?

 

[Shaman]

The air filter is the stock foam air filter. It was cleaned during the supertech/clean phase. I will probably go to about 2000 miles/ when the clutches start slipping with Delo when I get home. I will do a used oil analysis after the oil is ran to see if there are any more coolant problems.

Looks like your filter was doing its job.

Filter was working well. However, now that the coolant leak is fixed, I would recommend running another cleaning and rinse with ARX. What kind of bike is this? Wet cltch?
