SXR Metal shavings on flywheel magnets. Is it serious?

[JamesG]

(2007 SXR, stock) I found some tiny metal shavings stuck to the magnets on my flywheel today. You can see them faintly around the magnet edges in these pics. I know shavings are a bad sign, but is this small amount serious? And if so, what does it mean?

Probably just wear from the flywheel ring when the bendix hits it. If the flywheel is tight and the stator is tight, I'd run it.
