Used in 3 Kawasaki vehicles
[How is it used?
D Tracker, Ninja250R, and Z400.
D Tracker needed Wiring with Race Specification, so we chose ZETA, which was our preferred Brand.
The other two vehicles continued to use this product because D Tracker found it to be a good product.
The Ninja 250R and Z400 are used for touring main use, so they are not wired.
Was the one you received as per Image?
As per Image, ZETA's RedAnodized has good coloration and satisfies the Large variation.
Was the installation difficult?
It is not that difficult to remove and replace the OEM drain bolt.
However, since this product is an aluminum bolt, sufficient care should be taken when tightening Torque.
How was your experience with it?
Magnet has a lot of iron powder on it at every oil change, which confirms that it is doing its job well.
In addition, the D Tracker has not had a single breakage of the body or screw threads, even though the oil was changed frequently. I felt that it was durable.
As for the durability of Anodized, the part that hits the socket naturally peels off, but the Others area is not exposed to much sunlight, so there was no fading.
The holes were not damaged and could be redone each time without any problem.
Well, if you really want to manage them well, it would be appropriate to replace them with new ones every time, but even if you replace the Oil frequently, I don't think there is any problem with replacing them with new ones every year.
[Included Parts:were they on?
None
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None
Point and hang of installation
There may be pros and cons, but I apply an anti-seize agent to the drain bolt and tighten it. I have not had any problems with this product, so I do not think there is a problem.
However, it is easy to overtorque by applying anti-seize agent and tightening, so care should be taken not to overtorque, e.g., by using a torque wrench.
I have come to understand the tightness of the Drain Washer to the point where it crushes reasonably well, so I am not doing anything in particular.
(I think you will be able to figure it out if you do a lot of Oil changes.)

I'd like to replace it anyway.
Material:I put in One point in Red because it is lightweight with AluminumBolt and unusually for a YZ compliant product, there was a choice of colors other than Blue.
In fact, you can't see it at all because the Under Guard is also attached….
A powerful magnet is attached to the end of the screw to pick up iron dust in the oil, making it easy to check for wear and tear after running.
Parts that should be installed during break-in, race, and other situations where the engine is subjected to heavy use.
This iron dust on the magnet is not easily removed, so when replacing the oil, do your best to scrub it off with Parts Cleaner and Dustcloth.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the magnetism.
Magnet power seems to be there; there is almost no magnetism on the Bolt sides. It can lift a standard Android phone. View detail
This is my first purchase.
This is my first purchase, so I won't know until the next Oil change.
So I gave it 3 stars.

Depends on the shape of the oil pan
I used it for Engine Drain, not for Motorcycle, and I confirmed that the black iron powder was caught in the magnet when I changed the oil, but I think the amount of caught iron powder depends on the shape of each engine oil pan. Incidentally, the oil pan shape of ZX-12R is very difficult to catch the iron powder, so be careful when the amount of iron powder is large. View detail
With magnet, it stands out and makes it easier to maintain.
I replaced the oil with gold dust because it is an old car body, but there is no oil filter in this car model, so I hoped that I could at least catch the gold dust with the magnet on the drain bolt.
The color is Blue to match the car body color. It is a very Beauty and prominent color, which is good because it makes it easier to find this Bolt at the bottom of the car body, where it is hard to see. It is good because there are other Bolts right next to it.
This body will not be ridden much distance, so next Oil replacement (1000km) will probably be replaced in a year before I drive any distance, but I'm looking forward to seeing how much Gold genus powder is removed at that time. (I forgot to take a picture, but there was quite a bit of Gold Genus powder that had settled on the pure Black Oil after the replacement.)
For your information, the specification of OEMBolt is M12×15mm P1.5 BoltHead hexagonal 17mm, and this product differs only in BoltHead dimension, which is hexagonal 14mm.
