Supporting Member betoney Posted December 18, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted December 18, 2017 The part number you have shown is the same one that I am coming up with but the washer on the right does not look correct. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The one on the right is correct. Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R. Sleeps 8 hours (2)2005 FJR1300abs: 230,000 m 2015 FJ-09: 114,000 m (Replaced engine at 106K) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted December 18, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted December 18, 2017 The one on the right is correct.Are you sure about that? The washer I get every time from the local dealer is the one on the left, it is concave and flattens as you tighten it. Maybe I get the wrong one every time? ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The one on the right is correct. Here is a thought, only replace the washer if it is damaged. On the FJR Forum, some are still using the OEM washer after 78,000 miles and countless oil changes. I have gone to this method of reuse and now have exceeded 3 oil changes. You will know almost immediately if it isn't working, so you won't be headed out on a 14 day ride with a drippy oil plug. You are proceeding at your own risk, but pretty much a safe one.

kiwicanuck Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks guys, I guess I should use the new one while I got it, was almost going to reuse old one, don’t know why they look so different. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The washer I get every time from the local dealer is the one on the left, it is concave and flattens as you tighten it. Maybe I get the wrong one every time? Yes, you most likely are getting a aluminium crush washer. They are fine and can also be used multiple times. Yamaha sell a crush washer with a bubble like side. All dealers don't use OEM crush washers when doing oil changes. Alum crush washers may run .33 ea while Yamaha crush washers run 3.85 ea. just guessing on those cost figures to make the point.

rain Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 OK, I've seen this topic a few times and here's what I've got with my 2017: No crush washer at all. So I didn't really question it. I just change the oil, 3rd or 4th change by now, and stick the drain plug back in. It never leaks. ?? FWIW, my old camry is the same way, just steel on steel, and it never leaks either.

kiwicanuck Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Issue is the oil pan is not steal, without the washer you could strip the threads on the pan, iam keeping it safe and will pay$2 on washer than new pan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted December 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted December 18, 2017 I agree, the ones on the right are correct. (At least according to my local Yamaha Dealer) I bought a handful of them from him a few years ago, and just checked the bag. They look exactly the same. Other crush washers may also work, but those are the ones that the dealer sold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicanuck Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks for the feedback guys. I am not worried now and saved me a trip back to dealer. Bike has new oil and filter now and waiting for summer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member britelitebob Posted December 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted December 18, 2017 I've never replaced a drain plug washer on an engine or gearbox ever but I always put a couple of wraps of teflon tape on the threads otherwise your always likely to get some amount weepage around that plug.

nicksta43 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The one I got from the dealer was definitely the one in the left. I thought I had an extra but couldn't find it when I was out there yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbrd Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Just keep using the original washer. It'll be fine. My bike has 85,000 kms, has had 15 oil changes and is still using the washer that came with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
