Default Tons of flakes in oil????

08. 1000RR
Hey has anyone ran into this issue?
Bike has less than 5,000 miles and just did an oil change after 1900 miles and after draining the oil out of my oil pan i noticed i had TONS of metal flakes in the bottom. They look gold in oil but out of oil its aluminum. Bike runs perfect no noise no burning oil.
