Why you should change your oil...

[Kitimat KLR]

Today I changed the oil for the umpteenth time (34k) on my 06 KLR. As I removed the low profile magnetic drain bolt I finally found the missing link! No, not a chain link or other critters but the missing end of my broken Doohickey spring that I replaced at 24k.

Therefore, you should:

1. Change your oil (...after changing your Doohickey )
2. Check / replace your Doohickey
3. Install a low profile magnetic drain bolt

Broken Doo spring "end" on magentic bolt:

Another good reason to opt for the mag drain plug.

Makes me glad I installed on at the last oil change!

doo the doo, that plug worked surprisingly well, and i thought they were a tad gimicky, not no moe.
