Topic: exhaust pipe gaskets

I don't have crush washers on the oil drain screws but flat aluminum washers. I suppose you could call those crush washers but I think of those as having a seam in the center that closes up when you tighten? Those types are definitely one time only use but the aluminum flat washers seem to handle multiple reuse just fine.

Do you know the size on that? I just changed my oil for the first time on the bike. I dont remember seeing any washer or gasket, just the bolt. I am hoping this explains why I have a tiny leak now and didnt before I changed the oil. It is very small, only about a dime size spot collected around my kickstand that I find in the morning.

Anti - you do need a washer there. It is listed as a 12mm washer. That's the ID. Honda pn 94109-12000. You should be able to get a copper drain washer of about the same size at an auto parts place. The same bolt and washer is used at the bottom of the oil tank up on the frame as well.

ive turned the exhaust gaskets over and reused them often,no sweat,if you want use some black NO.4 locktite,then again they are only a few bucks a set,generally when i order stuff i get eight of those aswell,just incase i need them.
