Identify rubber thing

[Col]

I found this rubber cap under the bike, R1200RT. Don't know if it fell off or is from something else. Does anybody recognise it?

 

 

Thanks

I don't think that's a BMW part. The markings are don't seem right. Could be wrong though...

I found the same cap, I once remember seeing it somehwere on the bike, I don't recall where.

I recognise the logo, FTE is a German brake manufacturer. As to which part of the braking system, I do not know.

It's a cap for the brake fluid filler check valve on the front brake circuit. Follow the front brake line from the master cylinder to the banjo bolts at the fluid manifold by the steering neck. One of the banjos is distinctly different. That's where the cap goes. It's not a mission critical part, so you don't have to worry too much; my RT lost its cap in the showroom. Hope this helps.

Thank you! Wonder why it fell off?

I had the same problem, found it on the garage floor after working on the bike, had me stumped at first then found the spot.
