I've just changed the oil in my 420 motor and found a few gold coloured metal flakes in the oil. They were in the oil that came out of the sump nothing in the oil strainer. Somebody please tell me it's not the main bearings/ big ends. . .!!. .The bike is running well no knocks or rattles. . . . Paranoia is a terrible thing. . .
