Do they work? Have you noticed that the "stronger" magnets pull more metal shavings out of the oil? You say you don't use o-rings? Really?

You must buy these. Your stock plugs are not strong enough and may fall out if you don't buy these. It is happening to every one drain plugs littering the highway O rings leaking 35 dollars is cheap to save your bike.

I can't believe you risked sudden catastrophe by touching that bung and lived to tell about it.

it was risky, the jaws theme song was playing the moment I put a wrench to it. but it went in smooth with a little Teflon dope and never leaked so it will never be touched again unless I start having sumping problems. I am a believer in these magnets though. Protects my motor investment.

It goes in the sump pump, not a big deal.

I took the plug out that your not suppose to touch and put a sensor in the hole for a oil temp gauge, now that plug doesn't scare me anymore
I'm glad my bike came with magnet plugs from the factory
