I believe you are referring to the CDI, part of the ignition system.

The CDI sits on top of the air box . Im talking about a smoothing capacitor for the lighting circuit.

in the states they were pretty standard with all their 12V systems...Stator, CDI, VR, head/tail lamp, on/off switch, kill switch. Being as you're down under you probably have an SR model? If so could be a road legal lighting thing. We didn't get the SR in the US
