No. They look like ordinary steel washers. You want copper or soft alloy washers for the crush washer.
The mechanism of sealing is that the soft washed smushes into any small imperfections in the bolt and sump hole, thus filling up any imperfections. For this to work the washer has to be soft relative to the bolt and sump, ie steel washers wont do.
Do you know what diameter the sump drain bolt is?
You want something like this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/copper-crush-washers-10mm-ID-13mm-OD-/390819923360?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5afeaec5a0
Note those particular ones will likely be too small as the ID (internal diameter) is only 10mm. Ebay search for "crush washer" in the appropriate size and you won't go too far wrong. |

Thanks for the advice smegballs.
Last night I change my oil successfully, here's what I found:
The 24mm sump bolt unscrews and out pops a spring and a little wire gauze. Also, there is a rubber O ring that fits in a little groove right around the inner side of the sump bolt; according to my users manual, you just need to check the condition of the O ring and the gauze and reinstall them. This is what I did - the O ring was in good condition, so I just screwed it back in after popping the gauze and the spring in first.
I didn't have a torque wrench, my manual says to tighten it to 15nm, but I turned it finger tight then with the spanner until there was some resistance - at that point I nudged it a couple of times (probably about 1/8th of a turn) and that was it.
So far no leaks, and the engine seems to be running nice and smooth The bike was new to me, and the last owner hadn't changed the oil in 3000 miles; so I think this was well overdue.
Just the spark plug and oil filter to do tomorrow |

Sorry I meant to say air filter! There is no oil filter in these bikes, and I didn't have the right socket size to remove the panels to get at the air filter |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 10 years, 1 day ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
