Metal swarf on sump plug

[cropsprayer]

So went to change oil and filter on my track bike today and when i took sump plug out it has a fair bit of metal filings / swarf stuck to the inside of it! Never seen that before on any bike however I've only had this 6 months and since changing rearsets and QS I've been hitting a lot of false neutrals 4th to 5th so I'm guessing maybe related maybe?

What year is the bike and is this the first time you have changed the oil

Its a 2013 and I changed the oil when I converted over to track earlier this year. Didn't notice anything like that then but obviously all its mileage since have been on track.

You answered your own question there!
Changed rearsets/quickshifter and false neutrals = bits of gears on sump plug!
I suggest you check your installations.

Yeah I sort of assumed and have seen a lot of other posts now since I posted this with similar pics. I've adjusted the rearsets and gear road god knows how many times at the track......speaking to other owners it seems it's a common problem so I'll have to just keep tweaking till it's sorted I guess.

I fitted 2016 shifter parts to fix my shifter issues from 4th to 5th, but mine would cut the engine but just not select 5th just stay in 4th . Mine was swarf free though I rarely had a false neutral and that was on the down shift to 3rd after a missed up shift . Have you fitted a different QS as well then ?
All the info and part numbers I used are on here https://s1000rrforum.co.uk/showthread.php?9993-Shift-assist-issues
Mine is perfect now

In 2011,I had that problem,changed my boots-problem gone!
Unfortunately,the s1000 seems very fussy when it comes to gearshift setup.
IMO,Gen1 and 2 would benefit from a similar arrangement to the gen3(i.e gearlever on a separate pivot and shifter rod vertical).

Yes agreed and I'm sure the gen 3 was changed for this reason. My aftermarket rearsets even mounted as low and far back as possible still result in a different alignment of the gear rod as it's now higher than with stock.
