fzar 616 Posted February 22 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.

fzar 616 Posted February 22 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Civiltechyyc 38 Posted February 22 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stickshift 399 Posted February 22 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I don't think it's a part, more like a peice of a part if anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evill_Ed 692 Posted February 23 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. Ed "Do not let this bad example influence you, follow only what is good" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cornerslider 724 Posted February 24 I too am dumbfounded??? I'd call it "something from shipping", and not give it a second thought ... AND, your bike just got lighter- WINNING!!!! 1 ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinyribs 1,582 Posted February 24 (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 by shinyribs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mt707 26 Posted February 24 It almost looks like some sort of bracket that folds into itself, but I don’t see that nub being particularly strong…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nozeitgeist1800 37 Posted February 24 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
