I changed my oil and filter this evening and found metal shavings in the oil and in the filaments of the filter. Some of the shavings were shiny metallic and some baby blue, all being a fine grit. The bike has just over 50k on it and I have never noticed shavings before. Oil is changed more than recommend. Doo has been done.
Bike is an 05 fugly. Is this cause for concern ? Maybe a bearing or clutch box?
