reason why I asked was because this is my first oil change on this bike.. and it looked like there was no washer there and I didnt want to drain it and then just put the bolt back on w/o the washer.. and tomorrow is a holiday so all the stores will be closed.
It ended up having a washer that looks brand new..
so ill be set
thank you ! this info will come in handy int he future
2 days is fine! If it's a longer period of time like 1 month, there are oils like the 300v Motul that is designed to have an affinity to the metals in the motor and stick to em longer preventing dry starts
Yup, not a problem to sit without oil in it as long as you don't try to turn it over.
Very good call on making sure you have the crush washer. I once made the mistake of thinking it wasn't that important when changing the oil on my first bike, and ended up dumping oil all over PCH & my rear tire. The drain plug will leak and back itself out without the crush washer.

see that other thread about not giving a fcuk about the crush washer?
joker, you do understand that not starting a motor for 2 days is just like having the oil drained out of it for 2 days .. any oil that is not in the head, oil passages, or other parts of the motor, simply drains to the oil pan at the bottom. When you change oil, you are not draining ALL the oil, about 1/4 of the oil is left in the motor.. Synthetics (as chief was eluding to) tend to hand around on parts longer than non synth oils, and thus are better for engines at start up if they have not been run in a long time.
after building a motor, you crank the engine (with the plugs out for less wear/tear on the starter) for a good while to build oil pressure and push the oil throughout the engine prior to start up.
Oil, is the Lifeblood of your engine. The oil filter, is the Kidney that keeps it clean.
