oil drain plug

If you removed the "Oil Drain Plug" on the bottom of the engine, then yes it does have a soft aluminum crush washer to seal with, I wouldn't reuse it more than once. But if you drained your oil through the oil screen plug on the side of the engine (left) then it has an O-ring to seal with.

Just be sure you don't over tighten the oil screen plug or it will be bad when you try to get it out, trust me :( I'm waiting on a new one to come in.

Things are going good. School is out and just getting the bike ready for the National Rally in a couple weeks. We need to meet for dinner on a Saturday or something.
