G'day all! I found this bolt under the bike. The numbers on the head are 10.9 and 54885 (50/50 on that - it's very hard to make out). The bolt is slightly oily - very thing coat but clean. The bike is 2009 R6. Any ideas? The most helpful answer gets to hear funny story))))

That is a cap screw. The numbers qualify what tensile strength it is.
I am gonna go out on a limb, and suggest you check the front sprocket cover bolts. Along with all the other side case bolts.

Wow, how old are those matches?
Best Frenemy you could have!
What he said, plus they're used for engine mounts etc. Size alone indicates they're not as simple as a fairing bolt.

Its the bolt that holds on your indicator fluid line.

I found it on what where right side of the bike was (as in right when going forward - just making clear lol). The sprocket covers is all right - and they are slightly different colour. I looked around about three times - nothing obvious missing.
The matches are not that old - I just keep leaving them outside- they get wet. Then I need to leave them outside to dry them off!
Checked indicator fluid bolts - they are all ok, but they are 10.1 anyway not 10.9

Being M6, real tough, and oily, limits where it's from a bit.
Sump?

It's been in and out a lot, judging by the black wearing off.
Hmmm, the plot thickens.
Yer on your own. Good luck.

just stick it in the spare parts tin, if its important you should find out soon enough

and now it's too dark to keep looking.... the plot gets even thicker.....

I notice new stuff every time I look at the pic.
Looks like it's had very little purchase wherever it was. 5/5mm by the look of wear on the thread.
So you now know that if it did fall out of your bike, it wasn't where it should have been in the first place.
Check the bolts that hold the seat on.
