Motor Mounts

[xs650special]

On the top motor mount are there some plastic washers that go there? I put those metal pieces in place and ran the bolts through them but it seems like there should be some kind of washers/spacers that still need to go in there. Actually, is there any place that has pictures that shows how which mounts need washers etc or do they all have some? I still have a few washers unused so far and wondering where they go.

There may be a bit of vulcanized(?) plastic or some such in the nuts that go on the motor mounts........iirc

The lock nuts on mine are similar in appearance to the nyloc style but use a metal insert instead of nylon. I have added split ring style lock washers to many of the engine bolts because the lock nut seems to get weak (not stay tight as well) after being off and on several times.
