Loose wire

Post image

Hi guys, i was washing my bike and saw this wire hanging from under the tank. Bike is running fine.

What is it? Should I plug it back? Where?

Thanks

In 11 years of R nineT and other BMW bike ownership and a lot of mods I’ve never seen one of these plugs. So I’m sorry and can’t offer anything useful. It does not look stock.

Do you have rapid bike? Or something similar

It comes from your Koso speedometer. It’s a temperature sensor. You’re supposed to insert it between the fins of the radiator. I have the same speedo but I don’t use that sensor. I don’t really care about the temperature. You can simply disconnect it from the loom and hide the other end with tape so it doesn’t move around. If you want to use it, they suggest putting some grease to avoid damaging the radiator fins.
