And this one.

Year, model?

Once that is out, someone will know.

It helps to just put that info in your signature line.

The two items in the top photo are locating nuts, that engage with the short engine mounting bolts, one each side at the bottom of the engine. The elongations fit into slots below the engine. Part 21 on this diagram:-https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gs550e-...l#.XaNihEZKjIU

I can't really see your second item - can you post a photo from a different angle?

The two in your first post look like fasteners that were used to secure a set of crash bars on my bike that also secure the engine They used them instead of nuts as were they fit is tight were they locate and because of the shape they stop them turning when the securing screws/bolts are tightened

The one in the second post I have no idea looking at the picture it looks like it has two spade fittings now this is a complete guess something to do with side stand switch?

Updated topictitle. It is a gs500e 1979. Sorry bout not posting that. I can take another pic of second item. Yes it got two spade connectors on it. Someone mentioned sidekickstand and that make sense.

Thanx for every answer guys, highly appreciated.

Top Tip: When you fit the engine securing bolts to those two egg-shaped nuts, make absolutely sure you grab the right bolts out of the bucket, 'cos if you pick ones that are just a touch too long, you can punch a hole in the crankcase. The bolts are commonly replaced with longer ones if there's been a set of crashbars fitted.
Got the T-shirt on that one, along with a clean sweep in the Dumbass Stakes for that year.

I was going to say about the same about the first items.
Someone can have a GS for decades and never see those - - untill loosen those lower engine mount bolts ,,, and those tear-drop shaped nuts fall out.

And this one.

I do not recognise that at all. I am not that much of a gear head, but Have had GS650G, and/or 850G, and/or 1100G continuously since 1982.
I can say is nothing related to the sidestand. And defintaly is not the sidestand swtich, at least for a G, but would think that sort of stuff is common to all models.
