Just heard that Renoir had his engine sensor nicked off his 750 last night in Sheperds bush. Could understand if it was an R1 but theiving Ducati riding chavs???? Who'd have thought it! Sure the Karma will bite them back.

Does anyone know exactly what part this is so he can get a new one ordered?

I've uploaded an image here:

What a bizarre bit to nick. Scumbags - wishing them a visit soon to A&E.

Just noticed the photo Stu...

Page 31 part no. 539.4.030.1A

or

Oil Pressure Switch: GM part No. 93190643 think it was about £4inc. Has a slightly higher rated pressure than standard, should give you an earlier warning of a problem before the damage is done.
Its a first mod I always did on tuned cars as when most oil pressure switches activate the damage will already have been done.

Possibly trying to disable the bike to come back and nick at their leisure........

so they undid the pressure sensor, sucked the oil out and sprayed it all over the engine

or maybe they nicked it whilst he was riding it

mmmmm

or

it came undone and fell off shortly before he parked it

... or Ren didn't notice the missing switch, hit the starter button and got a bit of a shock when the spray fired past his lid.
