Metal particles in the oil.

I just want to put in a plug (<-a pun! ) for using a magnetic drain plug in any motorcycle engine.  Better than any possible filter, a magnetic drain plug will pull ATOMS of iron and steel out of the oil, and hold it.  Most magnetic drain plugs are drilled for safety wire, which is a great idea, as well.  If RPM does not have them, Amazon probably does.

Failing that, I would still recommend placing one or more strong neodymium magnets, to be stuck along the bottom-most part of the normal oil filter.  Secure the magnets there with tape, if you worry a lot.      When changing the oil filter, leave the magnets in place on the old oil filter, until the old oil filter is removed from the engine.  When the new oil filter is secure on the engine, then transfer the magnets to the new oil filter.

We have two choices for metal particle collection when you use the RPM Spin On Oil Filter Adapter.

Here is the Magnetic Oil Pan Drain Plug. There is also the option of using the Oil Filter Magnet 18-22mm to collect anything as it heads into the filter.

I have always used a magnetic drain plug and I have used the Oil Filter Magnet from RPM. Well worth the $10.00 to keep the nearly microscopic steel partials out of your engine oil.
