When changing the oil. Should the the o ring be changed on the oil drain plug ?. Thanks. Bob.

 

not every time, after a while you will see it is spent. these things are ok for at least a few oil changes. if it starts to leak change it .they're cheap enough to keep around.

 

For the cost of an O-ring. Change it, it's worth the peace of mind.

I change it every time. Cheap insurance.

 

Done four oil changes, haven't changed it yet, I look at it, clean it, put it back on. It ain't leaking either, so I'm good. Personal preference, I'd change it if I had any sitting around, but I don't.

Just like it's stated here, if you had to put a new one on after you changed your oil because the old one was leaking, you'll probally mess up the good oil, at least I would.[:-]

 

they are cheap. i replace it.

 

Its the same o ring as on the transmission drain so just buy a dozen and keep them on hand

 

Do not change if you enjoy seeing a pool of oil under your bike. Some people say its just their bike marking its territory. You spend thousands on bike now your worried about a quarter o ring. Cheap enough change every time.

 

DING, DING, DING, we have a winner. That's hat I do I have a small bag with a dozen or so tacked on the wall over the work bench. It's the same one for the FB also, so it works out nice.
