Two wires coming out of Cyc 3
I started taking the engine shroud off to do some deflashing and I noticed the two wires coming out of the spark plug hole on cyc 3.
Any idea what it goes to? I was trying to track it down on the wiring diagram.

I think that's just a wayward piece of wiring harness that fell down onto the head....nothing goes there, as far as I know.

It could be the remains of an old head temp gauge sender...
Some consisted of a metal ring that went between the spark plug and the head.

I would also guess temperature sensor. Not factory so you won't find it in a diagram.

Post a picture of it once you have it out. Someone here might need it. It isn't easy to find the correct one for each different gauge.
