How old is the bike? For the first 12 months or more from new mine would leave metallic flakes in the oil when I changed it. I was aware this would happen and was told to expect that for the first 6-12 months. So because of that I would religiously change the tranny oil every 3-4 rides for the first year. The amount of flakes lessened quite noticeably the more I changed it to the point where I wasn't concerned at all. It's been going for over 8 years now on the same clutch with no problems and barely any flakes. Could it be clutch material bedding in?
