I bought a magnetic adhesive strip from a garden centre. Supposed to be for preventing snails and slugs climbing up pots ... You cut it to size and wrap it around the bottom of the pot, or in my case around the oil filter. Some biker friends felt it may lead to clogging in the filter but I explained that is what the filter is for in a way and that I change every 4k ... Linke darrsi, never needed to flush !

There's a couple of other little tricks which can keep your oil a bit cleaner, one being a magnetic sump plug, and some people also stick magnets on their oil filter as well to try and contain any very fine metal debris in these areas.
