Checking oil screen

[kawiman]

Hey guys, I was changing my oil and I decided to check the oil screen this time. I wanted to ask you guys if there is suppose to be any gasket between the nut and the crankcase, similar to the gasket between the drain plug and crankcase? I dont think there is, I was trying to be careful when I took it out and I didnt notice one but I'm just trying to be careful to make sure. Going on a long ride tomorrow and I dont need any surprises! Thanks!

I believe there is a rubber o-ring type gasket. Go Here.

Thanks topcat, I knew there was a diagram somewhere, just didnt know where to look. I guess I gotta go bobbing for a gasket! lol

OK tha freakin thing was still on the plug, I just got paranoid I guess, but at least I know its right and I dont have to worry about it tomorrow. I appreciate all you folks more than you know. I am new to motorcycles but I'ma tryin to learn.

Did you realize it was still on the plug before you reached into that tray of used oil ??? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

That's the only way I change my oil now. Don't even use the drain plug.
