This is the oil drain plug from a 2014 KTM 300 XCW's gearbox. But that is not what worries me.
The little piece of metal sticking to it is my concern. It came out stuck to the plug's magnetic bar
just like this, I cleaned off the oil muck and stuck it back for the photo.
It is the size of two pin beads connected back-to-back. The one end already got bitten by presumably
the gears. It looks a little bit like a rivet to me. I'm guessing it might be off the clutch plates? What is
this and do I need to be concerned?
