Hi Guys,

I have a 2006 bike with 24,000 miles and have just done my first oil change

Bert just had another go Cheers

I know it looks grim but I used to get similar debris on my plugs. I wouldn't be overly concerned personally. Even at 45k miles I still get an occasional shard. KTM do not chamfer the gear teeth edges so you tend to get bits on the magnets.

As I understand it most of the debris is from the waterpump: it is a known issue.
Even after rebuilds mine still does this.
If you are still concerned take the cam cover off the front piston and check the cams for excessive wear. Chances are, if the cams are ok then so should the rest of the motor.
(Although this is not always the case: one time the metal was from my front piston breaking up!)

SELL IT

Normal. Ride the piss out of it.
