Well...hope everyone's doing okay....having a great new year!Bought a magnetic drain plug from GoldPlugs LLC.$13 bucks with a new washer as well.Gonna be interesting come my next oil change to see just what kind of stuff may be floating around in there.!Stay safe all....have fun and watch the slick roads you cold weather guys.BLACK ICE....

I have had one in since the bike was new and all I get is a tiny bit of metalic sludge on mine at each oil change. Theres one in every gearbox on a jet engine, it gives you the heads up on impending failure, if you start seeing big chunks its time to tear it down or trade it in!

Can anyone post the part number or a link to the webpage where you got this, please.

LOL just got my Goldplug (proudly made in Montana) today and it came with installation instructions which is less necessary than the new gasket they include. Always glad to get a new drain plug gasket but I'm starting to develope a collection heheh. They'll last me 4 oil changes, easily if I don't overtorque. ah well. Fun to post pics of stuff i get for the bike that no one else will ever see. (BTW< Blue....the instructions say to just give the plug to your mech and let him install if you don't do your own oil changes. Those Montanaites are mighty trusting folk LOL)

WTH????Now THAT'S funny!!!!!I got burned apparently...no instructions with mine! Hope I got er in there right?

Hey Blue You Better check....Just drain all the oil out and screw the plug back in and then if no oil drips out after you refill with fresh oil U have it in right. LMAO!

Shi*...I DID that.No leaks....then I remembered...oh,yeah....she takes 4 qts of oil.Ya....need to do that pretty soon.Aw....I'll fill er tomorrow.So far...no leaks.She started right up however.Anyone know what the red dash lamp is on the right side there?Never noticed it before.It just stays on while she's idling.IDK?????

Wait a minute... blue07 didn't get no instructions? Maybe they sent his to me.

All the tips I've gotten from blue over the past 2 years on this forum, I can't believe his "why is the red light on" story. Heh

Nah...I figured the red light thing out....it was the gear indicator.Ya....showing it was between Neutral and 6th.
