Metal on Primary Drain Plug Magnet
My bike has 5000 miles on it and I just changed my primary fluid for the second time (first time was at 1000 miles). The magnetic tip had alot of fine metal dust on it, covering the magnet tip itself, is this normal? I didn't notice it at the 1000 mile primary fluid change.

Dust (mud) is normal. Shards, I've had a few, usually from the starter drive or ring gear.

Normal, in fact I would be worried if there wasn't any.

Definitely normal unless they are big pieces, then, not so normal.

It's broke and very dangerous! I'll pay for shipping and you can send it to me. I'll take it off your hands.
