Here is my first UOA on this bike. I know these engines throw loads of copper when new, but yowza! Silicon is high too. Air filtration is stock and filter was not removed during the sampling period. Oil filter used was a Wix/NAPA Gold #1348. Oil is Schaeffer's 20w50 racing oil.
Motorcycle is a 2008 H-D Sportster 1200R
Miles at time of sample: 5,588
Miles on oil at time of sample: 4,307
Lab used: Predictive Maintenance Services
Iron 11
Chromium 0
Lead 5
Copper 92
Tin 10
Aluminum 24
Nickel 1
Silver 0
Titanium 0
Vanadium 0
Silicon 35
Boron 38
Potassium 6
Magnesium 120
Calcium 1957
Phosphorus 1376
Zinc 1503
Molybdenum 281
Barium 1
Visc @ 100c 19.1
TBN 2.65
Fuel AAA
Glycol NHN
Soot 0
Oxidation 13
Nitration 7.7
Lab's remarks:
"Copper high indicating possible bearing or thrust wear.
Copper may also be from cooler.
Dirt indicated by high aluminum and silicon levels. (alumina and silica)
Change oil and filters (if not already done)
Resample at normal interval".
