No prize, just kudos for identifying my next replacement part...

dunno looks like a valve stem seal
edit: it didn't enlarge, now that it does I can see it surely isnt a valve seal!

Bigger bit looks like a type of lock nut, at least the circular shape with slits at roughly each 1/4 mark. Seems to be contiguous with some larger plate, not a free nut.
Smaller bit can't make out due to low res pic. Is that greenish hue oxidation?
 
Probably the photo is not helping. The alloy fragment is less than 10mm across and it is important that it all fits together and matches the area it broke away from...
 
License plate frame corner. Fender mounting thing. Gauge mounting thing.

Has nothing to do with the motor functioning from the looks of it.

Looks like something one might find in the bed of a truck that made a few recent trips to the dump. ;)
 
Definitely nowantium.

I was replacing my clutch cable, the stock one was too tight. I 've swapped it for a longer version.

The damage is the top hole of the gearbox inspection cover. When loosened, there was a quiet crack. All bar one of the 5 pieces were found on my mat and the frame. One piece was sitting inside the gearbox on top of the kickstart spring. Haven't told my wife about using her tweezers.

New one and gasket on order. Feeling lucky all the pieces were easy to find. Will be very careful to check how the new one sits on there and tighten carefully.
 
Thank goodness it was only the cover, not the outer gearbox cover.

I stripped the thread in that hole - was able to thread repair it without having to take it off. :)
 
Yes, lucky. The gearbox cover looks fine and the screw threads too.
