Mafew 17 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 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 Link to post

ChrisCB 6,675 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 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------ https://ruggedroads.co.uk/epages/00cbb604-5d1c-407e-8207-580e14387ec5.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/00cbb604-5d1c-407e-8207-580e14387ec5/Products/SU6P090 Link to post
Mafew 17 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 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... 1 Link to post

The red 4 pin is the diagnostic link connector when bridged will display trouble codes. 2 1 Link to post
Mafew 17 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thank you Chris - would have been very embarrassing wiring in my GPS to that! Only had the bike 2 days so just learning.. 1 Link to post
Dave H 2,022 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 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. Link to post

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. Link to post
