Hi all the bearings in my final drive collapsed last year and I had them replaced by a local chap. All the bearings and seals inside I got them from Motroworks all new. I have now made about 3000 miles when I decided to replace the oil from the final drive to make sure nothing weird came out. The oil came out dark grey. The chap who did the job thinks it may be residual grease from the bearings since they were new and the heat has disolved it in the oil. (The oil I used was clear by the way). I noticed in the oil that came out very fine metal particles that I managed to isolate with a strong magnet. There are just a few but very fine. My question would be, if someone had the internal bearings replaced, if they found the same issue. Is it normal or is there something wrong going on inside?
Many thanks
