Wire underneath front sprocket?

There is a wire that plugs in underneath the sprocket. Is this a temp sensor or something? Mine is barely hanging on there as the shifter seems to help guide branches into that general area.

Thanks,

Chris

I think that is for the neutral indicator light.

Thanks

Those wires all throughout the ages in all bikes have always looked like they were barely hanging on. You would think that they could come up with a different plan.

My neutral safety doesn't work once the bike warms up. Anybody else have that problem?
