Fired up the ET4 (pre leader, 99) for the first time in about 4 months or so, getting it ready for MOT and checking for spring riding.
Oil level was normal. Oil was reasonably clean. No oil pressure issues (I think, no light, oil was pulled into the engine as per).
I drained the oil to replace and refresh, and there were quite a few small metal flakes in the oil. Brass colour, some silver.
Now, other than that, the scoot seems healthy enough.
Could it just be a prolonged period of not being used? Or is there something potentially more sinister going on in the bottom end?
