OK--I believe in the centrifugal oil filter now!!

Here we go again.....

Another "oil debate" (or should that be 'debacle'?); only this time revolving (ha-ha-harrrr) around SGs! How ever did these bikes run in the 60s and survive into this century? :-)

I've been told that the dirt was better back when these bikes were new.

Hi,

Many bikes did survive because they didn't run the last 30 years or so.

But I don't want to be theoretical, maybe it's time for some tests :

I suggest you take a beer bottle, smash it to pieces.
Put a few small pieces into the engine, and ride the bike.

After a few hundred miles check your oil filter , please report here with pictures.

Will you guys pick up the gauntlet ?

I just want to buy some of that dirt.
How many miles between changes?

Thanks, Brady

If you provide the bike, I'll provide the beer bottle.

Hi,

You have the bike, and a beer bottle, and your infinite belief in the spinner filter, so what is stopping you from testing ? What is holding you back ? Put your money where your mouth is, please.

And Steve, what is keeping you from testing this theory ? btw, did you rebuild your engine already ?

I was in at the Intermot in Koln last week, and I wondered why the newest Honda's weren't all equipped with a spinner filter.

I've been UK-side and around other Southern European regions for a few months, so I'm away from my CB77. And in the UK it's rained a lot, so I've had little enthusiasm for the old CB250!

I have most of the parts, in Spain, for the CB77 power plant's rebuild; I just need to get back to it. When I do I'll stick to the internals provided by Honda, thanks.....
