It is 2005 wee 61,000 miles third owner.While changing oil I noticed I was missing my lower crankcase bolt. Road some rough roads in SD last year. Have tightened many other bolts, but apparently not this one. Have ridden other secondary roads in SD and my Concours Luggage Bag Clasps/Lovk came loose. Even though it was tightened and had bungee cord as extra support the bag came off. Concours riders have complained to Kawasaki about this but they still make them cheap. Gave the Concours to someone else. It was too big and heavy.
Somebody I know who races the SV 650 and a boneyard mechanic said I could ride with out.
That makes me paranoid.
The boneyard store said they had the bolts in stock. Turns out they didn't. When they gave me the OEM number 26443698843 it did not transfer over to to the Suzuki Parts Warehouse. Different bolts of different sizes are on Ebay/Amazon.
I think my measurements are approximately 8" long including bolt head and maybe and 8 or 10 mm thread?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

There's an empty location in the bottom of the DL650 crankcase with no bolt through it.
Below parts 14 & 27 in the diagram above is the normally empty bolt location.
Is it a nut and bolt or just a bolt ?
Like PW has said there is a hole that goes right through and would require a nut and bolt, there is nothing in that hole it is empty.
If it's just a bolt with no nut required it's a different hole so a photo would be a great help.
Except for engine mounting points there are not many m8 or m10 bolts on a bike.
