    Flakes in oil

    Yeah, same here. I even cut the filter open and there were very small, but ferrous pieces in there also. I have read that ferrous would be shift dogs. I'm going to ride it for 500 mile's then send it in for analysis.

    Secondary coil resistance

    I was measuring all the coils exactly how its shown in my factory service manual. Could all the coils be bad and still have the bike run?
