Default Toasted engine?

I just bought a stock 2000 Yamaha Wolverine 350cc (with a k&N filter) , got it home and decided to change the oil. When I took out the oil drain plug there were metal particle in the drain plug, and the oil filter had lots of dirt in a corner of it (almost looked like rust). The spark looks normal. Is my engine toast or is this normal?

I presume you mean the oil plug has a magnetic core to catch filings and such. It isn't unusual for there to be a bit of such stuff to wipe off. That's what it's there for after all. Unless there is a great deal I wouldn't worry. I wiped some off my King quad's plug nine years ago and it hasn't been apart yet, at least the crankcase hasn't.

Sounds like your filter and oil plug are doing their job. Put some fresh oil and a filter on it, run it for a day then change your oil again. If it's running ok and not smoking a lot you should be ok.
