Hello Guys! I'm here once again recurring to your experience, knowledge and patience!
This time I would like to ask you about a substance that came out with my bike's engine oil. I think it could be important to mention that the bike hasn't been used in months, just turned on once a week, revved for about 15-20 minutes and then turned off again. And that's mainly the reason why I decided to perform the oil change even though I had not traveled the corresponding mileage.
With the oil already on the plastic pan you can observe something in there that seems to be some kind of carbon or maybe a very fine metal filing with a greyish or black color (not shiny like copper but more like a matte gray color).
In the pictures below I show you what I am talking about. Take a particular look at the difference between the pretty fresh oil color and the black zones filled with that substance, i was even thinking on filter that oil since it must have at most 100 miles traveled and 2-3 hours of use...
What do you think that substance can be?
Should i be worried about it?
The bike is a gsxr 1000 k1 and has 34,000 miles.
30 seconds video showing the oil residues i'm talking about:
Thank you in advance!!!!
