Those numbers keep coming up as proximity sensors, though none visually match that one.

You're going to have to chase the wires through the harness to see where they go, to better figure what this is. I don't see it as OEM on the parts diagrams, and know of no purpose for a proximity (or pressure or temperature) sensor there.

That does not look typical aftermarket. Better pictures around the sensor to see all the numbers would help. As well finding where the wiring goes too.

Looking at the back plate as a clock face, there is a hole in about the 2 o'clock position. Would that be a problem when riding in rain? I don't know, so just asking.

If it is a proximity sensor, did one of the PO have an aftermarket security system installed? The back of the air cleaner would be a n easy place to conceal the pick-up device.

I only found -and removed- a HD garage opener module, that was mounted under the triple tree.

This is the code on that sensor. Not much on google...

Exactly what I wondered. There's one hole above and two below the stock ones

The 2 wires go into that connector on the right, and than into the main harness that goes to the front of the bike, under the tank

No cooling fan. This was a police bike if that matters, in Australia. Maybe there was some extra mounted on it, have no idea

Didn’t international models have both active intake and active exhaust? Could that be an active intake sensor?

There’s no hole in either the back plate or sensor switch so it’s not vacuum or pressure operated. Definitely thermal. Like someone else said maybe there WAS a cooling fan and it was removed.

Possibly a 'parade fan'? Isn't your bike an Olympics special RK? Such a fan would make good sense - may be available as an optional extra. I realise that in Norway a heater would probably be more appropriate!
