Mysterious gadget in wiring loom - WTF is it?
Hi All,
Whilst doing some preventative maintenance on my wiring loom in the vicinity of the regulartor/rectifier, I stumbled across this little beastie... 1 karma point to anyone who can tell me what it is!!
Cheers Lads and Lasses,
Ben.

It's a diode.
It prevents the bike starting when it's in gear and the clutch isn't pulled in (current only flows one way through it).
