Default metal flake in the oil ..advise please

I changed the oil on my 03 rm125 to find some powdery metal filings on the magnetic drain bolt. The oil looked like oil colored metallic paint....Last time out I accidentlly shifted from 2nd to first comming down from a jump and mashed the gear alittle.should i be worried or is it normal wear

Thanks
