I’ll look for these washers and if successful I’ll buy a decent qty and next time you visit you can go home with a pocket full.
Well another mystery solved. You said the washers smelled bad when heated up - who would have known what the filler was!
I’ll get a quote on the non KFC washers. 30 x 38 x 2 mm.

I have solid copper sump washers on my tracker. I annealed them once, reused them the next oil change. No leaks. The Red Bike has the fiber filled crush washers. I reused them once, I will replace them next oil change. No leaks so far.
I have both but haven't used the solid copper ones much yet. The crush washers usually give me 3 or 4 uses before they're in need of replacement. On the rear plug, I use the red Bakelite washer that came in the Athena full gasket set. It's been on there for years, lol, and works great again and again. Wish I could find a source for them.
I’ll be darned 5twins , saw these in my Athena pile and didn’t know
Well I got the samples at long last. These copper sealing washers are 38mm x 30 mm x 1.90mm. They fit the XS drain plug quite well. The copper is quite malleable and should seal well. They can be annealed for reuse too. Bad news is they are pretty pricey. I was quoted $3.62 cdn each and I have to buy 25 pcs at a time. I can twist the suppliers arm to see if I can get costs down. If there’s any interest in these lmk. I’m travelling to the US next month and could possibly mail them to our US brethren. Here’s what they look like on the plug.
The last image is from a McMaster Carr catalogue. Seems very expensive in the US too although the McMaster Carr pieces are quite a bit thicker.

I'm using these:

I usually use them twice. The OEM are $9.29 ea. These are $3.65 ea and function exactly the same as OE. MikesXS has them at $6.25 ea.

Yes I use those as well but haven’t had good luck reusing them. Next time I pull the plugs I need to look at the sealing surfaces. The ones in the attached pics above are from my stash and had damaged flange faces.

Thanks for the info. $3.62 × 25 is a lot for all of those washers. I will look around locally and see what I can come up with as well. I will try the hydraulic hose shop I've used.

Now that’s better. I’ll order those. Thx.
I just tried ordering them. They want $28 Cdn for 10 pcs. I think I’ll still try to work on my local supplier. That infuriates me. Free shipping in the US and they want something like $6.48 per package of 5 pcs to ship to Canada. Maybe The $6.48 wad ok but to charge double that amount for the two packs.
. End of rant..

That the correct size Gary, or did the advert default to that?
So you made me go look at some I had ordered who knows how long ago,
This is 30 x 38 x 1.5mm Which looks "right". 2 or 3mm thick wouldn't hurt anything.
A fleabay ad for this size

Late to the party, but you can still get these from your local yamaha dealership.
Just don’t ask what I paid for them
, cause it was a lot more than in the links above.

10 days or so for (free) delivery... 10 for 3 bucks.... what's not to like....
...and bonus, there's 11 in the package.
