Discovered in a friends bike. I'm not a XR guy and I really don't want to post over at bonertalk.
Any ideas what the source may be?
Edit: thread title spelling *shavings
P.S Guyb, how do we edit the the thread title???

Are you sure it's brass ?
I can contact the XR650 guru, and ask.
The top end and valve train were recently rebuilt. There oil was changed during that same period as the motor was being rebuilt. Dude has one ride on it!!

The Shop
Did it come apart in the bike ?
And no, he pulled the element out post filter removal. Can't you see Mohammad's box cutter on the right?
Looks like a bushing disintegrated.
I could make the call, but maybe your friend should call so he has the word first hand.
Have him call Precision concepts racing (877) 976-3486
Talk to Bob Bell... Bob is real patient, and will surely know what's wrong.
Budget a new oil pump too.
Pit Row
Just wondering, is it possible that the stator unwound?
Was your friend able to make a call to Bob Bell ?
Wanted me to pass on that he appreciates the feedback.
I'm sure he'll be given your friend a call sometime next week.
Wondering if we can take the task on ourselves. Splitting cases is one of the only tasks that I have never done before. Maybe just do the teardown and then hand off the rebuild to shop personnel, that way he can keep the labor cost down. Any ideas?
I do have a Supercross Mechanic, that works on the side here in Capo. if you wish to save a few bucks...But you would have to wait until the 250s go East.
Bob Bell, (Precision Concepts) is the guy that built all of Johnny Campbell's winning Hondas, for the last 12 years. He may be a bit pricey, but nothing less than perfect
wllsvk, thanks for the advice. Analytical teardown will commence when he has time. Photos and detailed report to follow. May contact slowpro's friend on the rebuild.
