Recently picked up a 2014 cbr1000rr that went down. Magnesium from the clutch cover went into the crank case. Best way to flush this out?
Cleaning crankcase

I would get everything out that I could see. Flush the area with excessive oil, change the oil a few times and ride on. Maybe try laying the bike over a few times with that cover off to help vacate the pieces. The oil sump has a screen that won't pick any of that junk up if it were to remain in the sump. Good Luck.
Let's see some photos of the bike! -BIG DAN

Got her for a steal. Just sold my last dirt bike this month. Currenly fixing a cbr600rr that I was hit on and now this cbr1k. Been riding my hypermotard a lot. 
I would keep pumping diesel fuel through the crankcase. Get about 2 gals fill it up and then drain it into a clean pan. Use a trans funnel with a screen to fill it back up so you can keep track of the metal and flake. After that use an extremely cheap and thin oil. Fill it up, run it for 10 drain. Fill it up with fresh oil, run it again and drain. Change the oil filter every time.
The best way is to disassemble the entire motor and wash each part and clean every port.

Missed connection. I love the ones Mike writes.
I can remove the rad, fairings, pipes, and then zip off the oil pan... a lot of work
Re-spring on the Duc and did the timing belts
Finally got working on it.
It's so fast!
