never seen it before, but would suspect it holds the knurled nuts on the speedo cable.

I can't gauge the size that well, but it looks like the crush washer from a spark plug? :-?

I'm with SALB or it's for the oil drain plug, someone set up there and it fell in...it's a crush washer at any rate

It's not a ring from a tarp is it? Maybe the bike was covered up with a tarp at some point and a ring popped out!

Looks like a spark plug washer to me, too.

Everybody IS using antisieze on their sparking plugs, right?

Sure they are!

Except for those that use a 3/4" drive socket set and breaker bar to remove the plug........with a 3' iron pipe cheater handle ;D

Ha! I retired cheater pipe & breaker bar when I got this big compressor. My 1/2 IR impact lays down plenty of torque for spark plugs..
