could a small piece of rubber possibly been sucked in and somehow clogged up in an oil passage? and when i do say small i mean small because i did not see it when i recovered the main piece
Really? I mean really?

How could anything get from the air intake and end up in the oil passage? Do you really have any idea of how an engine works? You really do not do you?

Oil scavenging can be a real problem, that is why people like Muzzy's manufacture dry sump conversion kits like this http://www.muzzys.com/ZX14/ZX14_Oil_Pan/index.html.

But I suggest that you not even worry about it, the way you are riding your bike (judging by your various posts) you will not be around long enough to worry about anything on your bike wearing out other than tires.

Once you wedge it under a car or into a sign post it will not matter anyways.
