The only reason for the crush washer is to provide extra protection against leaking around the drain bolt.  After you change your oil the first time (without a new crush washer) check for leaks over the next few days.  If there's no leak, don't fix it.  ;)

This sucks  :cry:

I can't find any oil filters in the stores or any crusher washers/gasket, which by the way know one even knows what they are.

Could someone tell me where I can get the drain plug sealing washer (gasket/crusher washer)?

The size I found that I need from the bike bandit website is 14.1x18x1.5: COULD someone please confirm the size?

I guess I'll go to a dealer on tuesday and get all the stuff.... sigh!
[What I do to get the oil filter is going to the nearest AutoZone and ask for the K&N oil Filter Reference: KN-133.  For sure they will not have that on stock but the will order it.  Just  pay for it in advance and they would have it on the store in about the next 5 business days.  I dont remember exactly how much but it costs like $12 bucks.  ]
