Differential oil after 2000 miles

[mo8414]

Changed my differential oil today which I'll be posting a video on eventually. This is how it looks after 2000 miles. I always change it when I change my emgine oil since its cheap and a easy procedure. Last thing on my maintanance list to do will be lubing the drive shaft splines.

looks nice and clean. How much fine metallic stuff was on the magnetic plug? My first change had the largest amount of filings present (which wasn't alot) but with continued changes, gradually dropped next to nothing... This is normal as your final drive breaks in.

No so much on the plug but was in the bottom of the drain pan. Not a ton but enough to notice. This is the second oil change I've done on the differential.

i do the same but i know that oil is good for 50K aka the LIFE OF THE BIKE. there is nothing more satisfying then draining clean oil and putting more clean oil back in knowing that i can just spend random $ for no reason other than to flex to the oil gods.

I change my final drive gear lube every time I change the engine oil. It only takes 5 or 6 ounces so why not.
