burnt oil smell...

hello...recently got an ultra clean 2009 GZ250 with a bit over 1500 miles; during a ride I had a worrysome incident which might be related to a burnt oil odor that I smell after a decently long run; the incident...a battery tender lead fell out from the side panel below the seat and got caught in the throttle assembly; this caused the throttle to be jammed open and the rpm's were really high after pulling in the clutch at a stop light...this lasted for @ 15-20 seconds until I could shut off the ignition;

I did an oil change...put 1300 ml of oil in with a new filter; when I inspected the filter that was in the engine I noticed some shiny bits (guessing aluminum) as well as in the drained oil; I do not think that I overfilled the oil during the oil change & now I have a light burnt oil odor after running the bike for a fairly long run...otherwise the bike runs good, but I worry about inadvertant damage;

did the piston get scuffed? did I damage something to allow oil to bypass rings into the combustion chamber? is my GZ destined for an early grave?!?
