metal in the oil screen

[ductbust]

Wow 8k on the engine first time i checked the oil screen .Was very clean besides about 10-15 metal shavings and a few black ones as well .shavings were about 1mm long, oil had about 2 k on it ( I know I was bad for letting go that long).The engine has had a full clutch kit about 2 k ago. give me some opinions on what to check or should i ride and check it after next ride.It does have slight tick in the engine so I bought some cams since i figured i would be adjusting valves. Could metal be from old clutch? Maybe i'll pull valve covers tomorrow and look . I feel sick and confused I guess I'll sleep on it. ??

First time you've checked the screen since 0km/miles???

Probably just from the initial run in...

mines now on 41000 miles , i change my oil every 500-800 miles ive only once had bits of metal on the screen and that was around 30000 miles , i think to a point you are going to get some now and again id not worry about it unless you get some strange noises. Dont skimp on oil changes.

thanks packman I do oil changes every 1000 except for last been busy or traveling so just rode and neglected . I must stay on top of it and locktite fixes on the way I've had to many good rides to loose it now
