Ok i don't know every part of this bike...yet... so when i removed the radiator cap this fell on the floor, must have been held on by phantom glue. So if it's now on the floor then where did it come from

It goes under the radiator cap and has a bolt that goes through the cap into the thread. It makes it harder to remove the radiator cap to tamper with the fluids...

Thanks Mr Smith.

It`s not a critical part of the bike, mine hasn`t even got one but I guessed what it was when you mentioned radiator cap. Never even seen one before!

Yep I've been using 222 locktite on everything i touch on this bike, found out yesterday that one of the bolts holding the rear brake assembly (foot peg etc) had gone missing, now the new one and original are 222 on

I will give you all your bolts back if you let her go slowly with the $500 ransom...

remember to put it on so it holds tension against the cap undoing because it can be put on backwards.
