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

rear brake pad pin maybe ??

Thats a good shout.

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.

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?

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

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
