Oil screen NX250

[FazerAce]

I use my xl250 degree for green lanes, so the clutch gets a hard time. Was wondering if anyone has cleaned or swapped out the oil screen. Is it worth doing, and how easy it it to get to?

hi,
the oil screen is only intended to keep larger metal particles away from the oil pump, fine abrasion goes through and ends up in the oil filter. If at all, change the oil filter more often. The screen only needs to be cleaned after an engine failure.

Otherwise I would only clean the screen when the clutch cover has to come off anyway - when changing the timing chain, for example.

Thanks I'll leave it alone then.
