Default This piece fell off my bike. Do I need it?

After installing rox risers in my baby this little piece of plastic fell off the handlebar area. I remember something about it when swapping the OG's handlebars to the ATV ones but I can't really remember





I was just wondering if I should worry or not?

put it back or not?

No idea, but if no one chimes in you might look at a parts diagram on a website like bike bandit and see what you can see.

Half of a throttle lock or other handlebar mounted accessory?

I think that piece is from inside the throttle assembly, on the bottom half where the start button is located.

Yes, it's a spacer between the upper and lower half of the right-side handlebar assembly for the starter switch. Two bolts hold the lower half in place against the starter switch and this piece sits near the exit for the cabling. You should put it back along with the lower half!
