👋 hey
I ride a Street Triple 765 RS - 2018 Model.
Around 2500km ago I noticed a slight ticking sound, didn’t think much of it because I needed valve adjustment anyways. Today I changed oil again after 1500km and 8 Months, no track but sporty street riding.
In the pictures you can see a lot of tiny flakes / abrasion. At least I think it’s a lot.

Does anyone have experience about the amount of abrasion „normal“ in a Streety engine, coming from the normal clutch wear? Or on the other hand, does someone know if this looks more like a main / connecting rod bearing failure?

(I do a lot of wrenching, focused on clean work and rebuilt a couple of good running car engines. However I never directly looked at abrasion in oil of my motorcycles.)
