Nice, and the plastics are in great shape, that alone is a big plus. Funny looking seat ornament though. I'm not so sure on where the metal is from, maybe a piece of case (is it grey aluminum?), either way if the engine is running good I would let things be for now.
The piece is aluminum, and it is the same color as the outside of engine. With out doing a teardown, I would have to make a guess that maybe the quad has had a chain break that caused the case to break. The piece feel into the bottom and drifted to lowest point in engine. The cover got replaced, and life went on.
If I was to just drain the oil, I would have never found it. I really dont see how it was able to fit through the small oil passage to get into the oil pump cover. I did check the oil filter and and there were no metal shaving at all. So I hope for the best.
Me and my sons, took our bikes and the quad out to Slades park Sat. We rode for about 5 hours. Well they rode, I would be riding the lt250s, find a good spot, then stop and watch my boys ride. Then I would go a couple laps taking it easy. So far, I have noticed that there is a very small oil leak in the area of the front sproket/chain gaurd.
At the end of the day when we were getting ready to load up, I had to let out some donuts! The quad is impressive on power!
