Calling all Fireblade owners and in particular those of you owning models from RR4 onwards. There are reports on several other bike forums of galvanic corrosion (GC) occuring.
GC is caused by the reaction of magnesium in contact with an alloy or steel item such as a fastener when a catalyst such as salt water is introduced. Fireblade owners are begining to realise that the alloy sump plug is reacting with the magnesium sump causing the magnesium to be eaten away and in severe cases oil to leak serious consequences if not spotted in time.
