Product Information
Full details
The Apico Magnetic Sump Bolt is designed for Suzuki motorcycle owners who prioritize engine longevity and proactive maintenance. By incorporating a high-strength magnetic tip, this bolt effectively traps microscopic metal shavings circulating in your engine oil, preventing internal wear and tear. While it provides critical protection, users must remember that it does not replace the need for regular oil filtration and frequent inspection during every oil change.

FAQs
Will this fit all Suzuki motorcycles?
No, this bolt is designed for specific Suzuki models. Please verify your specific bike's compatibility before purchasing.
How often should I clean the magnet?
You should clean the magnetic tip every time you perform a routine oil change.
What material is the bolt made of?
It is CNC machined from 6061 T6 grade aluminium.
Does this bolt come with a crush washer?
It is recommended to use a new crush washer specific to your motorcycle model upon installation to ensure a proper seal.
What should I look for when checking the magnet?
Look for excessive metal shavings or large metal fragments, which may indicate premature wear inside your engine.
Troubleshooting
Bolt feels tight or difficult to thread
Stop immediately, clean the threads on both the bolt and the engine casing, and ensure the bolt is perfectly aligned before attempting to thread it in again.
Oil leaking from the drain bolt area
Check if you have used a new, correct-sized crush washer. Ensure the bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification.
Magnet tip has metal debris
This is expected behavior. Wipe the debris off with a clean cloth. If excessive metallic fragments are found, consult a mechanic to inspect internal engine components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Apico Magnetic Sump Bolt follows the same procedure as a standard drain plug. Ensure your engine is cool before beginning to prevent burns. When removing the old bolt, be prepared for oil flow and have a drain pan ready. Once drained, wipe the area around the sump port clean, ensure the threads on the new Apico bolt are free of debris, and install. Tighten to the manufacturer-specified torque setting for your specific Suzuki model. For care, keep a lint-free rag nearby during every oil change; wipe the magnetic tip thoroughly until it is clean before reinstalling the bolt back into the engine housing.
