So i was doing a valve adjustment and i stripped the inlet on the cylinder. Whoops. Rode it anyways and the bolt popped out while riding and leaked oil. going to fix the inlet but i lost the bolt. Anyone know where i can order one? This is the valve cover bolt

not sure where you are located but the default answer is your local Kymco dealer. There are also online parts sources but you'll want to add your location / country.

@mojorising, welcome here!
Looks to me being one of this four bolts holding your valve cover.
You said one of this threads is stripped:
Okay, no big deal:
-buy a 6mm HELICOIL repair set (online shops sell that for about €15,-)
-read its instruction and fix this thread
-buy simply a few bolts M6x50 in your hardware store
- get a new valve cover gasket
- put valve cover, gasket on it and bolt it down with your newly purchased M6x50 bolts...voilà

He said he lost the bolt. A kymco dealer should be able to get him a new one but I doubt that any dealer would have one in stock so it may take a while to get one.

@klaviator, yes, I read he lost one of this bolts.
Measure is M6x50mm and its available in any hardware store which stocks metric bolts.
This additional shims and o-ring are not a part of this bolts.
To screw this valve cover down needs four bolts as mentioned and four small-brimmed 6mm washers on it only.

When I was an apprentice and said something like this, my boss would reply:" It's there on the floor somewhere. Get down on all fours with a flashlight and keep looking until you find it. It's there, somewhere, waiting for you!"
