Sump washer - SV650.org

26-06-06, 07:42 AM

Hi All,

Called into Hein Gericke for oil n filter at the weekend, but they don't supply the sump washer, and I remember a while back, Jonboy mentioning the fact to always replace the old one.

So the questio0ns are:

1.Where can I get a bag of em from, cos I can onyl imagine them being pennies.
2. If not, can I replace with summat else? in ther form of washer stylie?

Cheers - Mass

Sorry about the really sil;ly question first thing on Monday morn folks

Strictly speaking you don't need to. My experience has been that it will last a few changes. It's more important to achieve the correct torque.

Having said that, I do try and change mine at least every 3rd oil change.

I usually get them from a suzi stealer. part number - 09168-12002

Cheers for that Curium,

Can you explain a little about the correct torque please?

I just thought it was a "Put it back in as tight as it came out" Jobby?

Jonboy never repllces his by the way(tight git

) .

Suzuki ones are not pennies though. About 30-35p a pop. Quite expensive when you think of it. Honda ones for my Bros were 10p or less each

I can'e see any reason why you can't the right fitting regular sump washer but I just never have.

Mine is changed every oil change and I don't use a torque wrench to do it up. I just tighten it 2/6 to half a turn once bolt has contacted washer. I do though put a dab of silicon sealant(belt and braces) on the outside between bolt and sump.

Easy to strip the threads on ally sump on some of these bikes . I can remember what the torque figure are but I did check and thought no way

Cheers
Ben

Someone- Spannerman?- mentioned that you can re-somethingorother an old one with a blowtorch...

re-somethingorother=anneal

I'd think any copper washer of the same inner bore and with decent thickness will do. At a guess about 13mm, and 2mm thick, but just a guess.

That's what I said.

In case anybody is worried, I've not had one leak yet and the last one did 16k before being changed (that was 5 or 6 oil changes, can't remember off the top of my head)
Current one has just over 10k and 3 changes on it and no leaks.
