What came loose?

[bendbill]

Please see attached pic:

 

My 2018 RT with 4K miles.  Today I noticed a threaded hole above the rear brake pedal where something used to be bolted in.  Any ideas what it is--or more importantly--what is was securing?

 

Thanks

Hi Bendbill,

 

nothing came loose, we all have that hole. Just find an appropriate fastener to fit if you’re worried about the look.  I think 19s started coming with a faster fitted in the blank hole 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

Cheers

agree...nothing missing

Thanks for the replies, guys.  I'll find some suitable plug

I would consider using as a "wash me" sensor, when it gets filled up with road grime it's time to wash the bike.

Believe it is the mounting hole for the weather protection package

Yes it's a non-threaded mounting hole for a pin on the weather protector -- which covers the hole nicely.

Sure it's not a weep hole for a leaking brake pedal?

It is definitely a hole for a fastener of the weather kit.

Does anyone have a picture of the Weather Kit installed on an RT?

I installed front only. It helps deflect winter cold from boots.

Thank you.

It looks like we have the same parts on the 1250 RT.  On my C, my toes end up getting chilly on a long ride in freezing temps.  I will see if I notice any difference on a similar ride on the RT,    May have to wait a while on that.  Temps are still in 70's / 90's.  UGH!

 

I did not realize that is what they were for.  I just though tupperware, tupperware, and more tupperware.  Wow, functional tupperware.

Are those part #10 and #11?

[AndyS]

Well, the  front is parts

1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11.

 

However, my pillion and I find the rear set to be really useful for keeping her feet drier and warmer.

I personally recommend the complete kit.

So, include 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12.

 

All very easy to fit and remove too.

Another plus for this board ... didn't know this option even existed. Thanks.

Does it deflect heat too?? We don't have the cold problem in Aus.

My bike came with a screw already installed. Did I get 1/10 of 1% of the weather kit for free?

Haha.

My RT-P came with the full weather protection kit installed.  I can say it does make a big difference in keeping your feet out of the road spray in the rain.  Not sure so much about adding heat in the cold
