SE Compensator upgrade, lots of metal
I upgraded my noisy compensator to the SE version about 6000 miles ago on my 2010 SG. I changed the primary fluid today and noticed a lot of Metal shavings on the plug magnet. even more than the first change after the new bike break-in. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Bike is out of warranty and I really want to avoid the big bill after having the dealer tell me everything looks normal.

Check after the next oil change and I'll bet you won't see as much contamination.

The plastic inserts look like "PUR" (crosslinked polyurethane).
This material is extremely tough and has been used for many years to make disposable pavement scraping blades/lips on snow plows.

If the deformation chamber / volume in front of the damping material is well calculated this will last for ages.
