Review on Motorcycle Hardware DPWM12 20 50 Drain Washer by Alex Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Only 1.2mm thick, drain plug did not close

Purchased for a 2000 KLR650 drain plug. I have an AE Motosports KLR 650 Kawasaki low profile magnetic drain plug AE Motosports KLR 650 Kawasaki low profile magnetic drain plug. So my rating is for those who work with this fork and not the original. First, they don't work / don't close well. I had a small amount of oil under my bike after an oil change. I thought it was from the oil getting into the oil change shield but I washed and cleaned it well and the oil was still flowing. I installed another one and tightened it to spec but it's still leaking. Then I ordered an original Kawasaki, 92065-097. I compared them and there is a big difference. Motorcycle Equipment: Thickness 1.2mm 19.9-20mm Outer Diameter: 12-12.1mm Inner Diameter: Kawasaki 92065-097: Thickness 2.0mm 22mm Outer Diameter: 12mm Inner Diameter: Probably just thickness, but Kawasaki sealed it! My point is to make sure you know how thick you need to seal something. Update: I found the label that came with the washers that says they are M12X1.5mm, like I said above, I measured them with vernier calipers and they are not 1.5mm, they are closer at 1.2 mm thick!

Pros
  • Oil drain plugs
Cons
  • Vulgarity
