Expansion tank problem
Hi there I'm new to the forum and having just bought a 1999 Moto I have been spending my days cleaning her up before I post any pictures. In doing so I have run into a problem.
On the left side of the bike my expansion tank and the silver cover that goes over it were both badly stained by oil. In my attempt to clean these up I removed the two bolts holding the two parts on so i could try polish out the oil stains. When I removed the top bolt to my horror I heard the nut fall out behind the engine casing that is used to fix these parts to the bike.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? How do I get hat bolt back in there so I can fix the bolt back in place??

Hello Braamn, WELCOME on this forum!
Do you mean the expansion container (cooling system)? In the middle of the picture?
If it is the bold at the top witch has fallen down (somewhere), you can replace that with a new bold. The old bold wil come out some day with a bumpy ride, I think, and you will loose it on the way.
