Does anyone know where this belongs on my thou - redrat - 20-08-12
Basically the bay was very tight this morning managed to get the bike between two scooters caught my boot a few time whilst getting off the bike when i took my boot of in work this popped out , had a good look aroung the bike an the two scooters for the life of me cant see where it came from bike road fine for my 12 mile commute home no leaks of any kind baffled for sure its about the size of the top section of a little finger .

Is it steel (or alloy etc), or is it as it looks, something getting squished by the wee clamp?

It looks like the closing part of one of the many pipes that stick out of the bottom middle of the bike, like an oil breather type thing, though obviously not a breather as it is supposed to be closed! I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell you exactly where it fits. Am I right in saying that it is a clear plastic teat thingy??

Its made of see threw rubber with a clamp it was pretty grimey on the out side mot sure if i can smell a slight wiff of petrol from the inside of it.

It's not off a Fazer, certainly not an original part.
If you're not losing any coolant and the motor's running fine, don't sweat it.
Wish I could be so sure about the 2 scooters ...
Re: Does anyone know where this belongs on my thou - redrat - 20-08-12
Got you took the bike out of the bay on return an left it running for fifteen while i give it the once over , looked over the scooter aswell pretty much covered in plastic from top to bottom so doubt it is off one of them oh well would hate to think i damaged someones wheels although parking in the bays up west is a nightmare i have had to replace mirrors an suffered cosmetic damage to my own bike parking in them .

has the bike had the AIS pipe work removed ...if so it might be a cap which fits over the air box flange that is required to be blocked off when you remove the AIS pipe work

of course its shown as a blue cap but any cap could be used
Re: Does anyone know where this belongs on my thou - redrat - 20-08-12
ais is all still in place fella .
Re: Does anyone know where this belongs on my thou - PaulSmith - 21-08-12
Carb breather covers? But you wouldn't catch them with your boot unless you were really pissed of...
I would have to guess it is a cap from a breather on one of the scooters.

it looks like a fuel pump bulb ?
Re: Does anyone know where this belongs on my thou - redrat - 21-08-12
i'll have a check in my manual later see if its off the pump.

It looks like one of those ball joints used to attach a damper rod off a car tailgate?
Maybe someone has a sore head now where tailgate crashed down :lol
