my race bike was spiting some pieces out when draining the oil. 1x3mm flakes about 5 of them and a bunch of smaller ones. I raced it for a year now and still runs awsome havent mushed the gears yet but its running awsome the bike is 7 years old now and has been raced sence day one so im sure a little isnt to bad It may have been when i crashed i layed it down on the side and it pushed the clutch out of the basket and it seized but a cars gears are a lot bigger so they can handle more wear to i guess. :dance: I would not worie about it unless you get some big chunks have you ground the gears to gether by accident sence the last oil change or staled it?
