I am assembling my 2008 after some damage in a trailer accident.
1400.00 in parts and I do the work
But still alive to tell this.
I don't know where the black wire from the instrument cluster harness goes

Temp gauge. Originally attached to the inside of left mirror. Many have moved it lower for more accuracy.

This wire senses the temperature of the outside ambient air . A lot of guys move it down near the forks at the bottom of the front fairing to get a true temperature.

That ring connector isn't the actual temp sensor. Isn't the sensor at the other end of the wire? So where does he attach it the end in question?

That explains why I don't see any friction marks on the connector. Must have been loose behind mirror. That's where I received the damage. I'll move it down as per suggestions. Thanks

try this turn key on hold match "BY" terminal and see if temp goes up.
Behind left hand mirror is a slot in the plastic where the wire is pinched in place.
I moved mine down and have checked with several smart phones and now am dead on and laugh at all the banks there are not even close.
