Found weird bolt/screw after cleaning my Svartpilen (solved)

[SvartHusky]

Hey guys!

I was cleaning my Svartpilen the other day when i noticed this screw/bolt just hanging around not attached to anything. I've searched everywhere on the bike and tried to find something similar on Husqvarna SpareParts Finder but came up empty.

Does anyone have any idea what it is and where it's supposed to go?



This is where i found it:


Thanks!

Maybe the back tire grabbed it and let it go i the direction of the motor?

I dont recall seing any with that type of head on my Svartpilen, except maybe on the licence plate arm.

And now my mind is churning over the idea of getting some random odd shaped bolts and quietly putting them into a similar place on various mate's bikes so they find them when they get home and try to figure out where they came from.

In the days when i used to race catamarans we'd sometimes throw a shackle pin into the sail of a boat as it passes. The pin would fall onto the tramp and the skipper would think he's lost a shackle and try to figure out where it came from without falling behind.

I didn't even think of the tire might have grabbed something.
...or someone messing with me throwing that in

I did a few more passes but couldn't really find anything. I was at the dealers a couple of months ago for the first service and just realized they might know something about it as well.

Alrighty, got in touch with Husqvarna directly.

Apperantly its called "Hex collar screw. M8x23.5" and can be found holding part of the frame and air filter parts:

Here are the frame schematics if anyone needs them.

Both the screws are still there so I'm guessing this extra one just stuck stayed around from the assembly.

Thanks for the help guys!
