Magnetic Oil Plug

[IndianaTom]

From what I've read here, the stock engine oil plug is not magnetic (and probably doesn't need to be with a filter in the system). However, I can't imagine it would hurt to have one. They can be instrumental in discovering a wear problem that you might not notice if all contaminants end up in the filter like normal.

So my question is:

What size is the FJR oil plug, and where might I find a magnetic replacement?

Thanks,

Tom

Many owners have ordered the drain plug for the rear drive and used it.

I had the same idea early on in the spring when I got my new '06A. You can get one at/through any Yamaha dealer or perhaps one of the aftermarket parts places on the web.

You could also Call Gary McCoy @ university motors.I don't have his # with me ,but I'm sure that you could find it on this board elsewhere. The neat thing is that the "DRAIN" plug for the

differential is the same. I looked through my old parts #' & I believe that the Yamaha # is

90154-05007 but please check to make sure.I'm glad I did ,from a peace of mind thing.Make sure you order a few crush washers when you order(good for rear end oil changes & engine as

well) Good luck. Sliick2

Thanks, I'll be sure to get a second plug for the rear end and more crush washers.

I'm sorry i wasn't real clear-I should have said that I found that the differential drain plug WAS magnetic. I don't think you will

need one for that. Sliick2

I think it was the SS250, but I will have to check when I get home today.

Jestal, any experience with focused magnetic flux amplification on oil filtration systems? One would think the industrial diesel boys would be all over this technology in a heartbeat!
