I wouldnt. Its a magnet, keeps the tiny metal shavings out of the chaincase oil.

If your concerned you can glue a magnet to the plug -------------------- Motor By Billy the Hillbilly RK Tech Big Bore 860 Crank- H.D.

What's "cheap" about the Doo plug? Other than needing a somewhat obscure socket to properly remove it (Snap-On PP409), I don't find it cheap at all. -------------------- 2009 XP800R X 2008 GSX500SS 2006 Adrenaline 800 2008 Yamaha Grizzly 700 SE 2005 chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 2006 Porsche 997 Carrera 2009 Acura MDX
