Does this offer apply to non-DRs?

If so, cn you send a second one to Aslan - I'll get it off him and have an excuse for a coffee.

Thanks

Changed out the oil tonight in preperation for the MAPMEA ride & look what's sitting on the magnet - a very small piece of the circlip part that I found last time.
To confirm that the magnet didn't miss anything I ran the hot oil through a fine gauze but couldn't find anything else, nor was there anything left on the bottom of the drain pan.

Magnets are good.

Doin mine this weekend, got some shell fully synthetic oil and new filter and a drill.

Nordie, what glue do ya reckon I should use to hold it down? ... think it will hold itself down anyway to be honest but will add something to be sure.

Bit of metal putty?
Epoxy?

Drill the hole so the magnet sticks slightly out and see how much force is required to dislodge it.
Not flush as then both N and S will inside the hole and it won't stick as well.

Mine still needed a lot of force after 2000km so heat shouldn't be much of an issue weakening the magnet.

My theory is that if something is big enough to dislodge the magnet then you've got other problems.

My thoughts exactly ... the magnet is certainly not the issue when it gets to that level, have some epoxy so that will do.

If it is a dry bush then it won't get any better and will need fixing. I assume this means a complete strip down as nothing is accessible without spliting the cases. Last time I looked at this it got into the "need special tools" category and I got the local dealer to do a strip & re-assembly (I needed to do a weld repair on a case) and this cost @ $550.

Any other way to get a manual? The suzuki one is $150 and I have tried other electronic manuals before with no success. I just tried your link but can't get the download to work, I just get a blank screen without any info downloaded.
Anyone got a workable idea????
