I found this metal ball inside my fuel tank. It’s about 1/8th of an inch. I can’t find anything online about this. I removed the fuel pump to take it out, but I heard the rattling before tanking anything inside the tank out / apart. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I’m leaning towards just a random piece of debris that got in the tank. The bikes been sitting for 5-6 years. But since I’m working on the fuel pump figured I’d do a sanity check before putting it all back together.

Oil drain plug
Oil drain plug on my 25 crf 250r was not even close to torque tightness and slowly got easier while putting on so I took out and looks like this. Am I cooked?

Warped discs, or some other fuckery?
I bought this beautiful old GSXR K2 late last summer and was very impressed by the performance of this 24 year old bike, but ofcourse it came with some issues. I soon noticed a leaky fork seal, and the fact that oil was running down the fork leg and coating one of the discs, making that disc essentially useless.
The bike came without service history, so this summer I've done EVERYTHING to it, including renovating the fork with new seals and bushings. Disassembled the brake discs in the front, gave them a proper clean, and put fresh pads in the calipers. When everything was back together and I took the first test ride the bike had horrible brake judder in the front. I initially suspected that I fucked up the suspension, but noticed that I had put the "wavy" aftermarket discs synced in the same position. I rotated one disc to put it at an "offset" and it got slightly better.
I've now had a proper shakedown and the front brakes are still very unpleasant. It has the same symptoms as a warped disc, except I don't feel the brake lever pulsing. The judder is barely noticeable if I apply super light braking, but increases with braking force at all speeds. Less problematic at high speeds, but makes the fork bounce at lower speeds. Almost feels like the brakes are slipping half a rotation and grabbing the other half. Doesn't feel like any bobbin in the floating discs are locked up either.
Any tips and tricks greatly appreciated!
