Hello everyone!

I was in the process of replacing my throttle cables and i dropped the bloody tank pivoting nut down towards the engine.
Cant find it for the life of me, is their a common place it comes to a rest?

Or does anyone know its size?

I think it is a locking M6 from memory.

Just under the hinge inside the frame push your hand towed the headlight there's a little plastic shelf under there took me 45 min and a lot of shaking the bike but that's where I found mine

- in the front nose cone area. If your unlucky it could end up on top of the engine under the Air Filter. Check inside the fairings, namely at the 'V' part.
