#135515 SPUDWRENCH12 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 784 i found a strange looking nut this morning 3 Years, 6 Months ago   while polishing my bike this morning i found a nut laying right on top of the oil filler cap on the crank case. it is a funny looking nut with a 5/8" wide washer base,then the nut 1/4" and no pass threw for the bolt. a capped nut if you will.i got out the service manual and had no luck locating where this nut belongs. i rode my bike for about 15 miles last night and parked it, i also just had the tranny recall work done about 450 miles ago. does someone in clinic land have a clue for me to chase? spudwrench,out   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #135518 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:i found a strange looking nut this morning 3 Years, 6 Months ago   SPUDWRENCH12 could it be the one that goes to the bolt on the rear of the tank   Logged     Keep The Speedometer Side Up http://s366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/ultrastar1/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #135519 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4842 Re:i found a strange looking nut this morning 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Maybe a quick picture?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:i found a strange looking nut this morning 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Like ultrastar said ,it sounds like the nut to the bolt holding the rear of the gas tank on. If it is your lucky it stayed on the bike.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/11/01 19:11 By Greysnake.   06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #135526 SPUDWRENCH12 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 784 Re:i found a strange looking nut this morning 3 Years, 6 Months ago   i will check that first thing in the morning thanks roadstar clinic,spudwrech,out   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #135531 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow!

Look directly in front of your seat on that side under the tank. The bolt goes in from the left side of the bike and the nut goes on the right side. This bolt is basically all that holds that tank on so please remember to fix this asap. Good lookin bike btw   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #135726 TOPNOTCH (User) Git-R-Done Expert Boarder Posts: 556 Re:i found a strange looking nut this morning 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Yeh someone finally found me.

THEREFORE THE CAPPED NUT WOULD BOTTOM OUT BEFORE THE TANK WAS TIGHT TO THE FRAME. THERE IS A NYLOC/NYLON INSERTED NUT ON THE BOLT NOW AND EVERYTHING IS TIGHT, I PLACED THE FACTORY CAPPED NUT OVER THE NYLOC TO GET THAT AUTHENTIC LOOK. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU AT THE ROADSTAR CLINIC FOR YOUR HELP.
