Did This Come Off My Bike?

[Woddy]

While adjusting the chain slack on the bike today after fitting a new rear sprocket and a general check over, I could hear what seemed to be this part fall to the floor from the bike, unless it was already on the floor which I am almost certain that it wasn't. I have looked high and low to see where this may have come from and have found nothing, I don't really want to ride the bike on the track untill i am sure what it is. Hopefully it has nothing to do with the bike ? It is about 1 and a half inches in length with a flat head adjuster on the same side as the thread..



Thanks

Thanks for reply, the brakes were the first thing i checked!!

rear pins are a lot thinner after the thread,just replacedmine! take a look at the genny cover they have a slotted screw head in there i think, looks about the same size.

[Woddy]

Taggy, there are no screws missing on the genny cover, i think i know the screw you mean though and that is still there!!

Thanks

have you checked the shock and all the bits attached to it?

[thunderace]

That 'screw' looks to be made from alloy rather than steel

[Taggyd]

it's not the adjuster at the bottom of the forks is it?

I'm trying to think of a flat head screw, all I could remember was the clutch adjuster in the sproket cover ... but I think that's a phillips
