Atleast someone caught on. that plug isn't bad to remove its just the guy that is removing it you have to worry about. once every 5k I pull it. and I change all my fluids every 2500 or when I get home from a trip that is longer then that.

I think I'll get some of those plugs to try. I saw some little pieces of gears on the tranny plug and maybe a stronger magnet will help it out.

I have them. No comparison to the stock plug magnet. Safer to say 100 times more the magnet pull, not 3, 4, 5 or 10.
Put one next to a 12in crescent (the magnet will pick up and hold it in the air) then try this with the stock magnet. :-) You'll then be a believer.

I have one on the oil drain, one on the tranny drain, and one on the primary drain. Could of bought a chrome du-dad with that money but I like the idea of protecting my motor as good as I can. These are a well made and powerful piece. But hey, that's just me.

I see o-rings on most of the plugs pictured on their webpage? I do like what I read but I said yesterday I was done buying things for the bike, what shall I do!!!!!!

Just beware that those magnets can alter the crank rotation and mess up timing. Unless you use Amsoil, which has antimagnetic properties to counteract the magnetic field.

I seen a guy that had a man hole cover stuck to the bottom of his bike because of one of them drain plugs.
A guy tried riding over some railroad tracks and was thrown from the bike when it stopped suddenly.
Another person rode by a saw blade factory and..............well you can imagine what happened to him.

I put 5 in my bike and the engine would not turn over do to the strength of the magnets. I removed the magnets and the engine turned over. Those are really strong magnets! Ok to put 3 in and you will be ok
