#1. Run the valves.

#2. Do a compression (or better yet a leakdown) and post the numbers.

Unless it was overfilled with oil this does not sound good.

you should get your valves checked unless you can do it yourself. when you do an oil change do you change the filter aswell?, mine did that aswell i changed front front sprocket (added 2 teeth) made a huge difference i dnt hold the throttle all the way and i go 98 km/h.

its possible that the oil filter was clogged and starved the motor and ran hot and eventually caused problems.. thats not a good thing to find a chunk of metal,, i would discourage you from riding and get the motor serviced (if you want to spend the money) it could be a easy fix or bad enough all depends what you wanna do, you can find new engines between 900-1200 bucks depends where you look,, remember whenever you change your oil change the filter aswell, there not expensive,,good luck to you keep us updated on your progress
