I am busy servicing my 990R and trying to locate an oil leak, thats been there since my valve clearances was done, check everything and replaced the starter o ring as well, nothing still there, I suspect the wrong amout of oil is in the bike, dont know anymore.

When I removed the sump plug, a piece of spring was sitting on the magnet, where the hel did that come from, it is not a very big one, definitely not a clutch spring. I was thinking maybe an tensioner spring like timing chain, maybe somebody has delt with this before, will be very sad if that motor needs to be stripped.

Please if somebody got an idea, will try and load a picture.
