I had a small crack in my oil pan that was leaking very slowly so I decided to replace it. After taking off the old oil pan this is what I found.... Anybody have any idea what it is? I tried looking around the crankcase, but didn't notice anything out of place.

 

Almost looks like some sort of tool

 

wow, if the bike runs fine just ride it and dont worry. but i could check oil in like 1000 miles again to be sure you dont find somthing else.

i agree it looks preformed like a tool or somthing. buy the bike used?

 

Wonder if someone was using a screwdriver for a dipstick? Looks like an interchangeable tip from a screwdriver.

 

Yeah it does look very similar to a flathead screwdriver except that the tapered part, where it goes from round metal to flathead, is unusually long.

The bike is used... got it at 10k miles and its at 18k now.

 

oh yeah.. i'm in the middle of kreeming my tank today... i've always known there was something inside, but I just figured someone had dropped in a nut or something... when I drained it though there were two rocks about half the size of a fist each... WTF?...

 

Dude that owned it before you must've had a wife that was trying to kill him. Rocks in the gas tank, metal objects in the crank case ... wonder what's in the forks

 

LOL! For real! That dipstick thing seems likely... Might of been a quick fix so they could go ride.. Idk But it does not look like any engine part that i know of

 

hahaha... already replaced those, one was bent and leaking... in hindsight i probably shouldnt have bought a bike with a stunting club sticker on it.
