Title: Does anybody know what this part is?
Post by: Sleeptraffic on April 19, 2014, 09:36:20 AM
I just took my bike out of winter storage and found one of these under the bike. This is the second one now...I ride a '00 Carbed M750. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is starting to drive me crazy. Thoughts?!

It's about 5/8" in diameter and 3/16" wide.

Ok, really, they're vibration dampers that go between the fins on the cylinders to help quiet the fin ring that you'll start to notice as more of them fall out.  Pretty much SOP and nothing to worry about

Those are fill port plugs for the prudpusperator valve damper reservoir and the flux capacitor coolant tank, respectively.

Eh, couldn't resist.  :)

They're actually available as a separate part, ~$1 each.
