Marcarl Posted April 14, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 14, 2013 It's a rubber plug affair, solid through-out. Ben can't seem to remember, guess he's getting older. Anybody know where this belongs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_One Posted April 14, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 14, 2013 On 2nd gens they're used to attach the lower fairings on. No idea where they would be used on a 1st gen bike. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted April 14, 2013 Share #13 Posted April 14, 2013 IF, its a freez plug, there should be some Green Fluid, on the Garage Floor !! This would confirm, that theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abusive throttle cranker Posted April 14, 2013 Share #14 Posted April 14, 2013 It looks like one of the oil passage plugs which sit in the top of the cam towers. Has he had his valve cover off recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share #15 Posted April 14, 2013 Had the clutch apart, the middle gear cover off, the clutch slave, and all the brakes. It must have come from somewhere,, or is it a coffee can item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted April 14, 2013 Share #16 Posted April 14, 2013 Having just spent a few days in the area of the middle gear cover and through the clutch slave I can say this. Don't think so. I think you're safe in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted April 14, 2013 Share #17 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I was thinking that it was some sort of bumper that sits inside the clutch cover lower rear corner for the shift rod inside to bump up against at the end of its movement. Guess I will have to take the cover off again to be sure. Its solid rubber with a mushroom head and two ribs around the barrel part to retain it in a hole.

CaptainJoe Posted April 15, 2013 Share #25 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Doesn't it SUX, when, after you've completely assembled a project.... You find one or two "extra " parts? Been there .... Done that... Question, is it essential for it to be there, or, is it an option to leave it off? Edited April 15, 2013 by CaptainJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
