What are these wires coming out | YZF R1

Question

This might be a stupid question but what are these wires coming out of my rear calliper on my 5pw/rn09 2003 r1? As far as I'm aware this model doesn't have abs or any sensors in the rear brake?

    As Dave said. All bikes have one but it is usually on the back of the rear master cylinder

    I have goodridge braided lines on and a Brembo master cylinder so Maybe the pressure switch had to be moved?

    Brembo is standard i think

    It is a pressure switch used to activate the tail light when the rear brake is used. It is usually mounted on the master cylinder side of the line, not the caliper.

    Works either way.

    No rear brake light switch for me anyway. Just barley hit the front brake with your rear, boom there’s your rear brake light switch (y). I mean how often do you JUST use the rear around town when slowing down? Unless i missed the cool kid party the shits useless anyway lol
