Some type of sensor or sending unit? It's right on the back of the transmission next to clutch bleeder. Previous owner had it covered with foil, so I've just left it on there.

If you are talking about the part in the centre of the second picture then I think its the gearbox breather (to allow for expansion of the air/oil when hot and thus save the seals) it certainly looks the same as the breather on the rear drive box but I thought the gearbox breather had a rubber pipe on it ?

Due to the short hugger fitted to the V11 when it rains this part gets the full force of the spray off the back wheel and water can get into the gearbox so the foil is probably to prevent this happening ?
