The red 4 way connector in the battery compartment

[Mafew 17]

Ok so hoping this hasn’t been covered previously but the red 4 way connector in the battery compartment? What is the intended use and can I use if for a switched power supply for GPS also any idea what the connector is called so I can buy the other half.. hope this makes sense

Not sure what the red 4 pin is but as a rule the accessory socket is a clear 6 pin under the riders seat, plug available here------

Thanks mate appreciate it - Same type but red and only 4 way. I have had the voltmeter on it and it is switched with the ignition. Will put a photo on here if I can work out how. Very surprised not to have come across this on the site so far...

The red 4 pin is the diagnostic link connector when bridged will display trouble codes.

Thank you Chris - would have been very embarrassing wiring in my GPS to that! Only had the bike 2 days so just learning..

My GPS has a cradle that mounts to the bike and I wired it straight onto the battery (in line fuse). When I mount the GPS to the cradle it starts up and I remove it when I park the bike.  It works well for me especially with my R1200RT which is CANBUS and would be a nightmare to wire to a switched supply.

Yes it some sort of diagnostic, data socket. I have the gear number indicator plugged in to it which apparently picks up the gear signal from the EMS.
