This fell off my bike. Anybody recognize it?

[Belrix]

This fell off my F3-T while I was under it replacing the sway bar. Any idea what this cap is supposed to cover?

It seems to have a barbed tab to, perhaps, grip some sort of clip and the other half is filled with some sort of porous sponge stuff.

I would just go to the dealer or email or text him a picture of the part.

whats the part number on the plastic that fell off.? It may help narrow it down

Curious. ....

What makes you sure it fell off your spyder..? Being a part of something it may not show up like that could show up as a unit...the sponge may indicate a breather of some kind..:dontknow:

 

[Chupaca]

Did you mean....

Well the black web/sponge looking stuff is similar to what was around the TEMP SENSOR on my RT......I would check a parts FICHE from either PROCALIBER.COM or CHEAPPARTS.COM and try and identify it that way..........Mike :thumbup:

Cheapcycleparts.com. ..? I like them..:thumbup: will have to check the other. ..:bowdown:

This may sound silly but it could be a breather / vent cover for one of the light assemblies.

It sponge type material in the pic looks similar to the Australian ones

Just a thought

Cheers

If you cant find where it goes on bike it could be simply something that fell into the :yikes:VOID, & you accidentally opened the exit door:dontknow::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::2thumbs:

My magnifying glass failed to reveal details but my lovely wife suggested I use my camera. Apparently it has more pixels than my eyes 'cause here it is.



As you might be able to see, it says "Hella". It's something to do with lighting.

I've emailed the Hella company and asked what this little cap is supposed to cover. That might be revealing.

Good detective work. That is a vent cap for the headlight or fog lights. I worked for a competitor years ago and they had something similar. It would be a good idea to find where it goes and put it back on. It is supposed to allow air in and out of the light but not let water in.

So part of the reflector housing? The silver part?

Should be attached to the black plastic rear half of the headlight housing.

 

[trikermutha]

That's what was thinking but wasn't sure it was for the headlight or not

It's the filler cap for the blinker fluid.

If it says "Hella"; it's got to be a part of the lighting system... :thumbup:
But I'm surprised that BRP would let anything get past them, with another company's name on it. :dontknow:

 

[billybovine]

I would look in the locations marked on the diagram.

 

[Belrix]

Billybovine pegged it, I think and Lamonster's video confirmed it, I hope. If you watch carefully...



I'll have to dig into it either an evening or, more likely, this weekend early when it's still cool.

UPDATE: Circled another after looking at Billybovine's diagram.

Mystery solved... :congrats: :2thumbs:

Hans from Hella replied. How's this for double confirmation - he sent this picture.
