#2Yes it should, all sump plugs on pretty much all vehicles should have one as it's what gives it the seal.
HTH.

#5The oil tank drain takes one as well. Different size.
An oil change require:
Two different Cu crush washers.
one o-ring for filter
special shaped o=ring for the screen (what is that material called again?)
donut thingy for the oil tank screen.
filter
I suppose people forgo the screen seal for a few changes as they are expensive.
Changing the oil on this thing ain't like any bike I ever had.
But there is the rub about the SD!
