    ummm, this wire fell out from behind my instrument cluster. I have no idea where it goes or what it's for. Everything is still working correctly. I know the previous owner had the bike painted so the front fairing must have been off at some point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think that is the outside air thermometer.

    Pull the sheathing back if you can, check the color coding of the wires and compare that to the wiring schematic for your bike and then you'll have your answer.

    that is the thermometer, so it will still work, you just need to put it back

    thanks, that makes me feel a lot better. Do you have any idea where it's supposed to clip into?
