Drain plug and crush washer question

  1. Purchased it almost 2 years ago with 800 miles. It now has 1950 miles and I finally am changing the oil. Maybe for the first time? My drain plug is a torx T 50. When I took it out, there was no crush washer. The Honda oil change kit I got came with 2 quarts of 10W30 Pro Honda synthetic oil, oil filter, oil, filter gasket, and what I presume to be a crush washer. The silver thing. The diameter is too small to fit on the drain plug. So I just put the plug back in with no washer like it was. It was never leaking oil or anything. What does everyone else have for a drain plug?

I bought the Roja Moto tool kit, the deluxe around the world one and it does not have a T 50 fitting in it, which I found odd because I thought it was comprehensive. Of course, I have one in my toolbox at home but just an observation.

First “crash”

I got on some of the most technical trail I’ve ever been on yesterday and had my first crash on this bike. I’d descended a rapidly deteriorating/increasingly technical section and was really pushing my limits. I decided to turn around before the trail got worse, and I ran out of time to get home for an appointment. On the way back up I kind of goosed it a little too hard up this gully and ended up high on the bank and just slowly low sided it. No damage to bike or myself. Was a fun day on the bike and a good session of limit pushing. Will be back.

Definitely need some more aggressive tires, still running the stock ones. Everyone says D606 rear, MT 21 front. Looking for other recommendations for very aggressive DOT tires.
