If Im changing the oil.. do I need to change the gasket on the bolt ??

Can I use the same one if I dont break it ??

I assume you are meaning the sump plug washer?

If so... I have always changed the oil between services on my bike (& on some cars too) and have never bothered with a new washer... However, if I was doing my own servicing I would seriously contemplate it, just because Suzuki say to do it in their service guide (I think!!??) and it won't cost that much!!

HTH

I've never bothered (22k miles) and once tightened the seal is still oil-tight.

But for the price of half a pint of beer, it is worth replacing it. It stops you having that oh F**k feeling on the motorway :shock:

Go and see your local garage mechanic and ask if you can root through his box of copper washers :P

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Normally do though. Costs next to nothing, and the sump plug IS out anyway.
