Take the drain plug out and match up the correct washer to the original

Not so fast Mr Bond... these are crush washers and look different after use. The ones on the left look like the rubber O ring used on the final drive drain plug and the copper looking ones on the right look like final drive fill plug washers. The middle ones look like sump plug and or gearbox fill washers.
Take them to a friendly dealer and the parts bloke will tell you for sure.

Perhaps you should let the dealer do the oil change for you - and there is no apostrophe in a plural !!

Sorry for being a bit grumpy !! Happy Festive Wotsits

Usually the part no or description in the parts catalog has the dimensions for the washers. Have a look here

I didn't think an oil changed needed that many washers, why isn't my bike leaking oil all over the floor?

I reused the old crush washer last time because realised too late I'd forgotten to buy one - already dropped the old oil. Any leaks? Nope!

I have the same trouble...so now i buy a service kit (excl oil) that includes washers. Solved for size and hassle. Usually cheaper too.
