I wouldn't get excited about it, especially on the first oil change. There is always going to be something on that thing. I worry when there are chunks on it.

Looks like mine did a few days ago at the 3 hr. mark. No worries, unless it keeps showing up like that on subsequent oil changes.

Thats not bad for the first change, typical of any bike. Mine was pretty clean and now very clean, thought that was even more strange.

little more than mine had a few hours in, but agree i wouldn't sweat it.
my fun surprise at the first oil change was dropping ~1700ml of oil !

Little wine at lunch time and it's easy to lose track of those pesky oil cans

Or Lenny - the dealers fill the oil, as the factory drains them after run-in.
