I never saw one when I took the drain bolt out.
I drained into an oil pan and then poured that into a gallon plastic jug.
Didn't see one then.
I sincerely hope it's stuck to the engine!
the cost of finding that out will be another oil change.
I'll inspect and see if I can see it under the drain bolt.
When I look at it, there seems to be a washer under the bolt. (it's a bit hard to tell...)
It's not leaking oil...clean under the bike.
I will remember that there is a "crush washer" and look for it in 7,400 miles.
thanks for replying!
well... maybe 2000 miles... not sure if I want to go with the 8000 mile oil changes. I trust the OEM's judgement there, but still...
