Ryker 900 first oil change: debris in filter housing
Just finished my first oil change on my 2021 900. Upon removal of the old filter, examination of the bottom of the housing revealed pieces of dark grey rubber-like material. I'm thinking maybe it's excess gasket-forming material (e.g., Permatex). I can confirm that it is NOT part of the old o-ring nor part of the seal on the bottom of the old filter. Should I panic? (The old o-ring is partially visible in the image, for scale).

I would take THAT to a dealer and ask them.

Good reason to get that initial service out of the way. Not uncommon to find some industrial leftovers, and the earlier you catch any such suckage, the easier to limit any damage AND get it covered under warranty. Just got my 900 Ace back from the shop with a clean bill of health.
That said, I'd rather find something like that instead of metal shards, right?

Any debris come out the drain?

I seriously doubt my dealer would take the time to inspect/clean the filter housing or check the old oil for debris. That's just me, though.

If no debris came out the drain, then I would expect:
1. The oil filter caught the debris;
2. or most likely due to size, the debris originated in the oil filter housing and went no further
You may want to change oil and filter again shortly for peace of mind.
