2010pburgfish Posted March 1, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2012 2005 RSTD oil plug has NO magnet??? Normal??? If normal is there a clearence problem?? Anyone tried one? Don't understand why anyone would not put a magnetic plug on from factory, especially on a bike with such a long factory warranty. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderhead Posted March 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2012 Anyone have a source for the magnetic drain plug; it sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter 1500 Posted March 14, 2012 Share #8 Posted March 14, 2012 Never heard of a Magnetic plug. Wouldn't an oil filter take care of that anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted March 14, 2012 Share #9 Posted March 14, 2012 Never heard of a Magnetic plug. Wouldn't an oil filter take care of that anyway? I think the theory is that the magnet captures the particles and prevents it from floating around before it gets a chance to go through the filter. It it is attached to the magnet it hasn't gone through the filter yet and won't go through the bearings, transmission, rings, oil pump and on and on and on.
