This is a very bad sign and usually means the pistons have been scarred by a foreign object or you bearings have worn beyond usability. you should not run the bike while it is like this as it will progressivly get worse till it seizes up completely

    im afraid yeah with new bearings? there is unfortunatley very few ways of getting anything into the sump other than oil. if it is metal and sticking to the plug it will def be bearings and if not usually piston ring which is equivilent to above. really sorry have to tell ya. i myself have a kawasaki zxr 636 with full skimmed head and all the trimmings but i only installed all the trimmings due to mismanagement of my standard engine and sufferedc same problems?

I own a 1987 chevy iroc z28 and have found metal shavings on my dipstick will i need to replace my engine or can that be fixed
Does it burn oil, smell oil filler cap for burnt oil smell, dipstick must be magnetized, unusual. Safest for you to drop the oil in a long clean tray for inspection, be careful of sump plug as it should also have shavings, note if shavings are small and short, if long, then bearings are seriously in danger, flush engine with quality engine oil flush fluid, put new quality oil in and filter, run engine for around 250 miles and re inspect, dipstick, sump plug, and oil, if significant shavings are found, change all mains and con-rod bearings, if hardly any or none, reuse oil and check after about 1000 miles.

SPEED ERROR ON PRECOR 927 TREADMILL
I had the speed error on my precor 9.23. When I opened it up I found that there are two little round magnets on the belt pulley with a sensor mounted nearby. This must be how the computer know the speed of the treadmill. I noticed that there were several little metal shavings stuck to the magnets. Not sure where they came from, hopefully not another problem. However, I removed the metal shavings from the magnets and everything worked fine again. If anyone else has the speed error it might be worth a look to see if its the same problem.

As something to start with, I would check your injectors, do an injector cleaner/seafoam treatment. I would also drain the oil, and check with a magnet to make sure there are no metal shavings running around, and check to see if one of the cylinders has lost compression/the spark plug isn't working.

The car. was flooding Isprayed carb. cleaner in breather intake
if the shavings are black and brittle then you can safely say that they are from your piston rings, this could be due to the bearings or just general wear and tear. if they were stuck to the magnet inside of the sump then it will be bearings and your engine will be on a self destruction mission the more you ride it till you get it fixed
