Took tank off, this fell out.

Can someone please tell me what it is and where it goes?

Cheers for the responses! I still yet have to find where this mysterious thing goes! I'm balancing the throttle bodies tomorrow so took the tank off and when I lifted the back up to slide it out of the locating socket at the front I just heard something clang and saw this!! It must go somewhere, but who knows where! I cant see nothing obvious though!

 

I think jtd is bang on the money!!





Cheers for that mate. Would never of known! It must of slid out when I lifted it out. It ended up at the front of the engine by the coil packs! Was baffled to say the least! That plastic tank doesn't half weigh something...only had about two bars of fuel in it too!

Anyway it was coming off to look at the air filter to make sure all was good ready to do the balancing tomorrow, one of things I wanted to do was put a decent air filter in.....



I guess I don't have to now!

Clean on the inside! It's had 3 weeks of commuting in this lovely British weather and no longer has that showroom shine! Starting to look a mess now, that's what this afternoons job is!

I have heard of people modifying the 3 induction pipes by ways of cutting them down. Can anyone tell me what gains are to be made by doing this? I'm all up for modifying, but only if it serves a proven purpose.

I didn't realise they where that bad! Everyone back in the day used to rave about them but they were fitted to shitty saxo's, corsa's, Clio's ect.

It looked perfectly intact tbh, but if you are all saying they are bad and fall to pieces then I will get rid of it asap. Making me paranoid now as my bike is my main mode of transport!
