Can you ID this part?

[Yzhogman]

I have a problem. Removed and checked the air filter the other day and after I got everything back together I found this on the garage floor.

It's sitting on top of a paper towel roll for scale. It is soft rubber not hard plastic and there is a lip/ridge that obviously secures it in a hole somewhere; not a tube end but a hole though metal or plastic of the approximate same thickness as the space between the cap and the ridge, if you get my meaning.

I am a neat freak so the garage floor was spotless when I started, this has to be off the bike but I can't find it's home. I'm guessing/hoping someone will recognize this little bugger.

Frustrated since this is the second time I've had to make a similar post to a forum. I'm a bag and labeller, I don't normally misplace parts or end up with extra bits.

Mea culpa, mea culpa.

It looks like the little plug that covers the center screw on the air box lid.

 

[Yzhogman]

Don't think so. If I recall that plug is quite large and I distinctly remember replacing it. This is a little guy, 1/2 to 5/8 diameter.

Maybe this?? There's one on each side.

Looks like its the rubber support for the rad to the frame on the lower left hand side.

 

[Yzhogman]

Damn Old Rider you are good. That was it. Keeps the plastic from contacting the side of the gas tank. How it got away from me I don't know.

Now I can ::021::

I had the tank off yesterday hooking up a Speedohealer and I thought I had seen it somewhere..

As an aside, those fall out quite readily, as I have unfortunately have learned over the past couple of years. That's the only reason why I immediately knew what it was when I read your post. After finding one on the garage floor a couple of times after working on my S-10 I finally glued them in with a bit of weatherstrip adhesive. Haven't had one come adrift since. Glue 'em and forget about 'em!

Will do Dallara. Thanks for the tip.

Damn, I found the same rubber on the floor! I could not figure it out, so I just put it to the side. Thanks!

You're bike doesn't really need that part Coastie. Obviously.

 

[sierraoffroad]

it may be part of the fan belt

No way its going back on. I could really tell the increase in acceleration with the weight savings!

you're hilarious.
Your bike came with Woody's finest. You get no sympathy from me.
