I recently did a rebuild on my 300ex. i put a hi comp piston in it and a web cam. i rode it about 2 hours then i changed the oil and filter. Sice then i went on one long ride and a few short rides. I drained my oil today and noticed the oil was pretty metalicly. Where are the metal shavings coming from?

If you recently did a rebuild then it it probaly just from your rings seating. It usually takes a few oil changes to get all the shavings out.

yup although normally your really can't see them you should change you oil 3 times in ivtervals of 10 after you first start it after a fresh rebuild because there will be shavings from your rings seating
