I love you.... Now, now, control yourself, you have a bike to look after.......

I will be changing oil in mine. Do you know the measures for drain washer? Or link to websites would help. Fzs600 2002. Thanks.
You will find that you will have to undo & do it up with a ring spanner as you can't get a torque wrench or socket on it due to the frame. Just nip it up don't be tempted to over tighten as you will strip the threads.
Also for the sump plug, these are worth their weight in gold:
Regarding alternative methods on the oil filter, fust buy an oil filter socket, it makes it so much easier to change the filter.On another note, for you guys with un-original downpipes (motad/delvic), do they make the oil filter change harder?Also for the sump plug, these are worth their weight in gold:
