What is this

[Badlionsfan]

Went and looked at a very nice low mileage '05 today, might get it if my bank cooperates.

Anyway, when looking under the tank on the right side I found some sort of rod that doesn't seem to do anything and is held in place with a plastic clip. Is it the tank prop rod for doing the valve adj or something?

Here's the best pic I could get; it's the silver rod--

yes you are correct, tank prop rod for what ever you might need to do in there.

I'm impressed at your level of attention to detail! When I bought my 04 I was in such a hurry to get on it and ride it away I wouldn't have noticed if it didn't have an engine! (Well, I would have noticed that eventually..) Noticing a tank prop is truly impressive!

Well to be fair it was hanging down a bit....

I didn't find the tank prop for 6 months.

Hey, that '05 looks like it might be a pretty cool colour.

That bike has the very rare and much sought after graphite paintjob ..
