Forgot o ring on tranny plug

I took off o ring on tranny drain plug and may not have replaced when put plug back in. No leaking as of yet. Should I pull plug and check or just keep going?

Yep ... check it ... No big deal ... clean drain pan and reuse the fluid right?

Put a shop vac on the fill hole, pull the plug and it won't leak while you fix the boo boo. Then you can forget about it.

Not a big deal, I haven’t had one in my oil drain plug for years.

Look under the bike each morning (as you should every day) and replace the o-ring on the next change. It's probably not going to leak.

Take your bike to a QUALIFIED shop for service work!
