Default Chrome flaking off Tranny Dip Stick

Was checking my tranny fluid today and noticed chrome flaking off the dip stick. Didn't notice any other coming off and I hit it with a wire brush to make sure no more was loose. Should I change the fluid?

Dipstick,transmission or motorcycle?...lol seriously I doubt flaking chrome would do any damage to transmission gears...but an oil change is cheap piece of mind.
