I think it's a tip over cable after studying some sensors

The bit in the middles looks like an arm for a potentiometer, and the circuit also looks the same by the PCB. Just a guess though. On a bike the only circuit I could think of would be a dimmer and I've never seen one on a bike!

It a tip-over switch, the thing that cuts the engine if you drop the bike.

The half-moon shaped pendulum has a magnet embedded into the side of it (you can see the darker coloured area) and the PCB has a hall-effect sensor and associated circuitry that sends the cut signal if the magnet moves too far away from the sensor.

This is the insides of the one fitted to my Benelli Tornado:
