Looks to me like a spacer used for assembly, just forgot to remove.

on a new bike i would be asking about it as well[/quote]

And the prize goes to -----Briboysr.
They are suitably embarrassed and one or two little goodies are coming my way .From my point of view no damage caused,as it was never in contact with anything . The fitter who did the pdi well it,s a lesson learned .To a greater or lessor extent we all have screwed up at one time or another .Now to get some serious miles on the thing and have FUN .

I was going to say...looks like a piece to protect the anti-lock brake sensor during shipping...could be to get the correct spacing...Me...I'd have kept it...not a fan of ABS...it could be useful if you decide the same...factory make em yellow for a reason so they are hard to miss...lol
