When i did an oil change ( last one done by dealer ) there were none on mine. Surprisingly it never leaked.
Are you sure they weren’t just mashed under the flange on the bolt? They tend to get kinda stuck on and it can be hard to tell they’re there sometimes.

I got some new ones just in case. I didn't see any in place. Will check again next time.

Did my oil change today, both rear box and main box, but started filling the main box before I realised that i'd not changed the washer for a copper one, argh.
However, I realised in time that I had the washers for the rear, only the ones I was sold for the rear (according to the exploded diagram) were actually too small.
If they're useful anywhere else on the bike, I'll keep them, but I'd bought 3 so a bit miffed about it. If they have little or no use, I'll send them back.
