Unless you're seeing a lot of metal long after the initial break-in period has passed, a little bit of metal is normal (especially if you live in an area where the temperature varies significantly or if you ride through multiple micro-climates reguarly, like in California)

Thank you Brian. I will be checking it in a couple of thousand miles again. At this point I have upgraded my clutch to the new gen and now to me the engine sounds well, no knocking or other strange sounds i hae also hecked the piston connecting rods for a “play” by pushing on them on the downstroke and both were good. Sk those shavings should not be from anything like bearings. Hopefully
