There is a sensor up above the front tire in the black plastic on the left front side. Does anyone know what that does? I broke it some, when I could not see up in there very well.
Do you mean the right front side as sitting on bike, or left side facing bike?There is a sensor up above the front tire in the black plastic on the left front side. Does anyone know what that does? I broke it some, when I could not see up in there very well.
Nearly every time I read some book or manual or online instruction regarding working on cars or motorcycles there's inevitably confusion about 'left' and 'right'. Assuming it's not the lack of knowing your 'military left' and 'military right' or 'no your OTHER right' the authors are compelled at some point to state 'as your facing the bike (or car)' or 'as your sitting on the bike' etc..Igofar said:Do you mean the right front side as sitting on bike, or left side facing bike?
Unless a person new to the ST1300 was looking for oneSince there is only one sensor in the inner cowling, right or left is irrelevant.
Not true with all Motorcycles. Harley Davidson's front brake rotors are a perfect example, the rotors are stamped LEFT and RIGHT, however, the one clearly marked LEFT belongs on the right side of the bike from the riders seated position.Standard protocol for technical writers is left and right are always in relation to the way the item is designed to be operated unless they specify otherwise. E.g. For automoblies left & right is from the driver' seat. For an aircraft it would be from the pilot's seat. For a motorcycle from the driver's seat, etc..

No more ambiguity.
