    While having my annual look inside the tank to see the condition i found this. It was on the tank floor directly underneath the cap and am sure it wasnt there last year. I first thought it was some kind of outlet so poked it with a screwdriver and it moved so pulled it out with some long nose pliers. Its plastic with a magnet underneath. Totally baffled ? ? ?

    Is it to hold the tank down to the engine at high speed?

    Could it be a datatag hoojamaflip that's placed in the tank. I've found several in the past on various bikes but they haven't had the bit that you can stick things in on them.
