Sensor identification 996
 

Could someone please tell me what the sensor underneath the headlight bracket on my 996 does?

Its part number 552.4.031.1A I think, mounted on the bracket that attaches the headlight frame to the front of the bike.

Cheers Keefer.

Mounting a carbon headlight bracket which doesnt have the right place to hold it, so I'll just tuck it away somwhere.

that's what I did.
just rivet it on somewhere near to where it was before

If its the earlier 996 its the same as on the 748RS for which they do a nice rubber mount for setting it into the airtube
