Yes but as you can see they’re recessed and hard to get at,and little pieces of metal aren’t easily removed from a magnets grasp. Enter my dilemmaI have not done an oil and filter change on my 790 but on my last KTM SMT it was a case of wiping of anything from the magnets with a clean lint free cloth which should remove any metal residue.
The hand book (which you should have) shows the oil screens magnets.
dealer did first service so no idea if metal. I just did 5000 mile service and both of mine were clean with no metal and just oil residue. I blast with suspension cleaner. You might try a small pen style magnet to see if metal will attract to other magnet.Anyone have a clue? I had a similar set up with the two screens on my former 2 Husky 510 & 511 SMR's, forget how I cleaned them.
Are you saying the brake cleaner knocked the metal shavings out of the mesh, dissolved it, or what?I did try a few different way for wiping, no luck ...... turned out to spray brake cleaner, results was instant cleaned off.
I If find it more effective then air, the liquid would push better on fine particles stuck in there, also the oil make these particles to stick so brake cleaner will dissolves oil and make everything to go away, same thing for the magnets.Are you saying the brake cleaner knocked the metal shavings out of the mesh, dissolved it, or what?
Also, should we thoroughly rinse and dry the screen before reinserting if we hit it with cleaner?
Awesome, thanks for the tip.I If find it more effective then air, the liquid would push better on fine particles stuck in there, also the oil make these particles to stick so brake cleaner will dissolves oil and make everything to go away, same thing for the magnets.
Brake cleaner will evaporate pretty quickly so no need to rinse.
Just thinking.. WD40 would probably do the same job...maybe??..Awesome, thanks for the tip.
Yup..a few shots of nonchloinated brake cleaner will blast all the bits off the magnets and get the screens nice and cleanI did try a few different way for wiping, no luck ...... turned out to spray brake cleaner, results was instant cleaned off.
