Premium Member fzar Posted February 22, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 I was working on my bike relocating the rectifier and the relays and I hear a metallic sound pinball sound effect until it hit the floor. I didn't see anything that I had touched or moved around that resembles this but here it is: Any clue to what it is or where it’s from? I feel like I recognize it, but I cannot figure out what it is.

Premium Member fzar Posted February 22, 2022 Author Premium Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 Here’s one more picture: I forgot to mention I put the tank back on the bike hooked everything up and and there were no codes or any notification that something was wrong via the dash. It started fine, I'm just dumbfounded as to what it is and where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civiltechyyc Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I am no help at all but my first step would be to check the parts diagram from Partzilla or Revzilla just to confirm. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickshift Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It doesn't look like any part of the motorcycle to me. It might have been something involved in how the bike was packed for pre-delivery, or something that came from the dealer when they unpacked the new bike.

M. Hausknecht Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I recall having seen something very similar before but no where on my 07. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Evill_Ed Posted February 23, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted February 23, 2022 Did you buy your bike used or remove any accessories like a windscreen or phone mount? Could be something that was dropped and lost? It does not look like an FZ part to me.

shinyribs Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) That's an interesting pokey bit on the end. Nice, smooth rounded nub. I'd hang on to it. Looks like a good tool for popping the body pins with. At first I was gonna say feeler gauge fell out of the toolkit, but there's no size markings and it looks a bit thick for that anyway. I found a wrench in the engine bay of a car once. A car I'd completely restored and the wrench had someone's initials engraved in it that I didn't recognize. I swear it must've been the luckiest piece of road debris catching that ever happened, because I have no idea otherwise. p.s.- it was aliens Edited February 24, 2022 by shinyribs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt707 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 It almost looks like some sort of bracket that folds into itself, but I don’t see that nub being particularly strong…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nozeitgeist1800 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 it looks a bit like a bent part of a retail merchandise display, like it fits into another piece just like it in one of the shelves at the end of the aisle or something.
