Hey guys, I just checked my oil screen and found a bunch of metal shavings in it. The majority are copper. My buddy said it sounds like bearings.... what do you guys think? If it is bearings, what needs to be replaced? Is there a walk through? Bike has 18k miles on it, and I did lose oil about two years ago on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Pretty much the worst spot to have a breakdown. I had to ride it a bit with the oil light on until I could shut it off and coast the rest of the way.

I'll attach pictures
