Default oil problem...

i got an o4 ktm 200 exc and went out for my first riding weekend with it last friday. it ran awesome. i put 40 miles on the bike and it previously had 124 miles on it. i changed the filter and oil and the oil bolt has a magnetic tip. a bunch of metal splinters were attached to the metal tip. what are these splinters from? are they bad? what can be done to prevent it?

Its normal. Its fibers from the clutch plates. Thats what the magnet is there for, to keep that stuff from floating around.

You like the bike so far? I want one really bad, I promised myself I will have one by winter.
