As the magnet and edge material breakdown continues in your engine, the larger fragments will end up in the oil pan, and the rest should ideally get trapped in the filter.

The rotor only missing some area of the epoxy glue you can easy re-new.
Nothing wrong or worry about the rotor...

For example, Yamaha R1 rotors are common to known to lost the neodym magnets strips due to glue failures.
The next gen R1 rotors have thin metal sheet drum belt to hold the magnet stips in place if the glue failed.

“New” rotor should be here from Germany in a week or so. In the meantime, I got back to the carburation, as I have a very rich condition.

Took the carbs out and measured rhe float height. Some adjustment was needed and I am now waiting to be able to test the bike.

Gave it a go again at balancing the carbs (as I couldn’t before). Quite satisfied with the end result.
