What is this part of engine?

Post by Smokingviper1 »

I'm currently fixing several leaks parts in the bike and I'm not sure what this is and if I can start removing bolts from it... any ideas? Also the black bolt that is behind this part

Thanks

That's a blanking plug for the main oil gallery, there is a washer behind it.
