What Sensor Is This?

Post by mikec »

Hi All,

New-to-me 2019 1250RT. Awesome bike. Just went through the craziness of changing the low-beam and found a sensor hanging down after completion and can't find where it is supposed to go. It's completely plastic and dry. Hanging from the right side, a simple clip to whatever hole it is destined for. Seems like maybe an outside temp sensor but couldn't make the temperature on the console change by holding it.

Anyone have any idea what it is/where it plugs in to?

Thanks in advance!

Mike
