hahaha....I got it because it drove me nuts too. I might have to change it. It could possibly be too irritating.

I break the motor in like I would normally ride the bike which is pretty hard.Change the oil after the first 50 then again at 250-300, then again at 500, use Mobil 1 15 50 from wall mart, at 1000 miles I go to Mobil V 20 - 50. Read about this in the touring section and have not had a problem on the last 4 bikes, my kawi did have more metal than any of the Harleys.Its just making the parts mesh with each other would not overthink it too much.

You know - thanks so much for that. I am one of the guys that has been over-thinking it and did panic a little when I saw the comment about 6th (which is completely contrary to what the owners guide says and what I was told in person).

I had more of a gray sludge stuck to my drain plugs...not really any flakes or shavings. I figger'd it was break-in mud; micro-itty-bittys from the ring edges and cylinder hone surfaces getting friendly with each other. Yeah, that jammin' monkey made me laugh out loud!!!

But it's not like metal chunks, as mentioned above, it's more like minute powder, and that's why you do the service so quickly.
not to go into 6th? ride that ****!!
