Return of the glitter...

Returning to this: Was changing the oil today, not sure what I was expecting to find (secretly hoping said problem has disappeared) but was greeted with this;






Bike has been running fine, no unusual noises or behaviour, done around 2000 miles since last year - that's an awful lot of debris for just 2000 miles, all magnetic so investigation starts again...

I'll start by inspecting the sprag clutch, but it looked fine last time, as did everything else
- I had a camera inside the engine and everything (that was visible) appeared OK and I've not had a sprag type problems.

The only thing of slight concern was/is that the clutch shaft has a little 'wobble' in it. By wobble I mean that if I get hold of it I can move it a little up/down/side-to-side, it's not a huge amount and probably no worse now than last year but it does move significantly more than my 916 clutch which has almost no movement and has done around 50,000 miles, compared to this Monster @ 11,500 miles...
