Help!
Got home this evening and my right boot was covered in oil.
Can anyone identify the part that is clearly missing (see attached pic) from the right hand side of the engine please (sorry bit of a technical numpty!)?!
(it's a 2015 Honda VFR800 VTEC)
Looks like, whatever it is, it just screws in?

Removable part that allows you to turn the crankshaft with a socket during a service.

You’ll need to buy another unless you’re lucky and it’s wedged in the fairing / exhausts.

Cap & o-ring about £25 according to the Fowlers parts website.

EDIT:
£19.99 for a used one is a bit cheeky when the new part is £20.81, even if it is on backorder. smile
