I changed oil this week for the first time since owning the bike and noticed that the oil drain plug has a bulbous end, but it didn't seem to be magnetized. Held it up to the metal fenders on my trike outrigger and didn't feel a pull. Should it be magnetized? If so, I'll buy a new one and install it the next time.
Is the oil drain plug on a 1989 GL1500 magnetized?

Some are but some arn't. You can put one in and it will catch ferris metal trash.

Nor do you need one. A good oil filter "takes care" of things!
