Anyone know where I can get a replacement washer for sump plug? Have drained the oil and now have leak around plug. I have tightened to recommended 40nM torque but still minor leak.
Secondly, does anyone know if blanking plates are still available for oil filter?
 
Try Loctite 577, bloody marvelous for sealing oils/hydraulic systems.
Works first time every time and no overtightening needed:

Thanks good people. Will try the loctite answer for the sump plug.
Also plan to follow up the reusable filter idea. My bike is still standard with replacement filters but I hear that being an old bottom end design, the Zane is not suited to valve type filters and subsequent foaming can cause problems to valves resulting in to end failure.
Does the replacement filter stop this from happening?

No!

The issues around these motors are not really filter related, just a too-far stretched design incapable of handling what was expected of it.  Shoddy manufacture did the rest...

Er.....Thanks Piet, I think.  So you are saying that my bike is a pile of $%?!*.
Oh well, I still love her anyway.....I always fall for the one's that will let you down eventually!

The more I think about it a Zane 750 for a sump plug washer is not a great deal I would need a bit of cash as well.  :D
