Watching motogp, moto2 and moto3 free practice.

The waiting is over Motogp is here

I can only find FP3 onwards scheduled on BT Sport App.. where are you watching FP1 and FP2? I'd like to watch it tonight while I'm working

Btsport2HD via virgin. Planned says starts at 1030am.

Ooooh I see it now! I feel I'm going to have to upgrade my contract for more data soon

Well I was going to head out on the MV but the heavens have opened. So I've gone to the gym

And it's forecast snow tomorrow apparently

When does spring start

I've sacked off the morning run in exchange for writing another 400 words of my dissertation. The puppy doesn't mind, as soon as I turned the laptop on she was straight back to bed with my fiancé.

I'm doing this until FP3 starts then I'm off to the workshop to finish putting my bike together with that playing through my speakers

Stupid question.....

But I'll be doing an oil and filter change soon and recieved OEM OIL filter, plug and crush washer from a genuine dealership which I've used a fair few times in the past for different bits and pieces

However I'm stumped but this type of washer, I was expecting a standard flat washer no different to any others I've had in the past but this time I've recieved, what could only be described as a double one.

Pics attached

Crush washer - one side almost flat (indented side)

Crush washer - one side rounded side

Drain plug

Which way does it go on the plug?

Indented side to the sump

Rounded side to the bolt head

Or other way around


Hope the explanation and pics are clear!!

Doesn't matter.....as long as it's tightened up properly it will seat just fine.

Fwiw I always fit that style of crush washer with the large rounded face towards the sump (1st pic) on the grounds that the largest surface area is against the largest face.
Having said that, I may have always been doing it wrongly (even though I've never known for one to leak on me).
Someone like Degee is bound to know the definitive answer, & I'll be interested to learn too Rossgo.

I was surprised when I saw it, I thought it would be a standard type of washer like every other manufacturer does but when I saw that I just thought there had to be a correct way of fitting it! If Deegee or Blade or Kiwi pops along then sure these guys will know the proper way of doing this!

Just googled it and dealers seem to say flat side to sump, curved side to plug

Thanks Cav

Today I will be doing absolutely nothing but slobbing out in front of the TV..... A real proper lazy day in order

Similar to frankie, but not all day as unfortunately Ive got to drag myself out for a roast dinner and few pints before watching the ManU game later.

Too much pigging-out earlier, mixed with a headcold.

Got clearance from my Physio to start having short rides on the bike

Also said I can start mowing lawns, but the bloke I have been paying does a marvellous job for a very reasonable price so might just keep him on

You didn't undergo phsysiotherapy, pain, countless hours of recuperation, etc. just so you could mow lawns, did you??

Support your local economy, have a professional lawn maintenance technician do what he does best.
