1330 OIL DRAIN PLUGS
I will be picking up my new 2015 F3S next week and wanted to order some aftermarket hex head drain plugs for it when I do my own oil changes. I notice in the owner's manual there are two drain plugs. The goldplug.com website lists only one replacement hex head drain plug. On my former ST-S with the 998 engine, I had to order two different size drain plugs. Are the two drain plugs on the 1330 engine the same size?

I bought the Goldplug items for my 1330. I had the Goldplugs on my 998 also. It turns out, one of them is the same one needed on the 998 but there is a 1330 specific for one side. Not sure which is which from senior memory.

Here are two sources.
Dimple, both plugs: http://magneticdrainplugs.co/canamspyder.php

I too bought the Dimple plugs. They are clearly superior to OEM. (Not knock OEM because I know they're made to a price point, etc) and are about the best magnetic drain plugs I've ever seen.

I agree with most of the other posters. Go with the Dimple Plugs.
Be careful, you'll need to salvage the O rings off the old plug and transfer them to the new plug, or make sure you have new O rings available.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

How much metal on you picking up on the oil tank versus the trans plug with the magnetic plugs on the 1330? I know the stock trans plug has a magnet on it from stock

Work properly. Buy new o rings, swap out with the next oil change. The OEM drain plugs are horrible! Terrible design, fail easily, useless.

I'll be ordering the dimple plugs for my next oil change which is due in about 7,000 miles (three months). Thanks everyone for all the positive comments and good information.

I've never encountered a drain plug requiring the allen socket. The 6mm socket in particular seems a bit sloppy and I am worried about stripping it out if I put too much pressure on it. Has anyone had a problem with removing the original plugs? I have the Dimple plugs already to install. They look awesome.
Thanks,
Ken

Where are you putting the 6 mm Alllen head? That's clutch cover plug, aka transmission plug. Crankcase plug is T45.
On my first DIY oil change after dealer 3000 mile service both my plugs came out perfectly and there was no indication on them that the dealer tech had a problem on his first try on the bike.

Thank you sir, I knew someone would help me out. The T45 was what I was looking for. All I could find prior to this was two sizes 4mm and 5mm. I haven't been able to get it up high enough to see what I was doing and was just going by feel. I've got that cleared up now so will be glad to have real hex heads to work with.

Magnetic drain plugs choices
I see the same sizes for both drain plugs on EBAY & Amazon for $9.95 Each=--one with free shipping. $63 for 2 drain plugs seem high priced/ Over the years I've see stripped threads on the crankcase due to over torque. Am I missing something on this $40 difference for 2 drain plugs--drain plugs are usually not a high usage item--every 5K to 7K miles . & nobody sees them except the mechanic. Please advise.
Thank you kindly,
Darrell

.......OK, what are the sizes and maybe we can figure it out,, the 998 and 1330 have different ones .......PS, I just bought the GOLD PLUG brand, and am very impressed with the magnet ( 1330 engine )....paid $ 24.00 delivered

Does anyone know the thread pitch on the Transmission side drain hole on the 1330 engine? I was told that it is 1.25. But I saw a reference to a gold plug that was the correct size 12MM but the thread pitch was 1.5. I am looking to replace the OEM plug with a Gold Plug but Gold plug seems to have only the engine side plug.

M12 X 1.5 according to the parts list for MY 2014 SE6, and BRP has not changed the size. Find it in the fiche for Clutch Cover.

I had very little on the OEM trans plug magnet when changed at 2K. Swiped with a rag and it was clean. Personally, I can see no reason to change that one.

The whole issue probably never would have arisen if BRP had specified the same type of plug, Torx or Allen, for both plugs. OTOH, a manufacturer is well within its rights to expect DIYers will check to see what type of bit is required before stuffing a bit in a hole they do not carefully examine beforehand.
