I changed my oil today and by chance happened to see something just inside the drain hole. I used a scribe to pull it through the drain hole and it appears to be a damaged oil seal. It was already crushed to its current shape when I pulled it out. It has what appears to be BASLFX 14-25-5 marked on it. Does anyone know where this could have come from? I've own the bike since new (VRSCA 2005) and know that I did not drop this in there. The only time the motor has been opened up was for the recommended valve lash adjustment. The bike seems to be running fine before and after the oil change.
Thanks,
JB
