What's this?

Took the sprocket cover off my 09 to fit a 19T sprocket, but then realised I didn't have a 36mm socket, so I put the cover back on prior to going shopping. But lying on the workshop floor I found this plastic doodad:



It's square and about 3/8" long. I cannot see where it might have fallen out of. Any clues, anyone?

When I did the same thing, the piece of plastic was a wire tie. This was on a 05 T100, could be different for your 09. The wires ran down the side toward the c/s sprocket cover.

I can't identify it, either. But I have to thank Normandy for giving me my good laugh for the day .... off the toaster, indeed!

That is your rectangular hyperkinetic confabulator. You may die if you ride without it.

Thats a classic! I'm still laughing! I was expecting a flux capacitor and an indexing switch in there somewhere, but maybe they are out dated now...
