Seems to be, although it is part of the loom to the instruments, rather than the side lights - maybe they join up further down? (they must if the fuse scottnet refers to cuts the supply?) - dontcha love electrics?!

power supply

Excuse me for having a chuckle to myself, but this thread seems to have come full-circle! :043:It's good for me though as I've just got my GPS, and when (if?) the bracket arrives from Touratech, I'll know exactly where to "stick it".....!

Is this the connector?

Yes... it's interesting that originally a dealer (technician) said it was used to hook up diagnostics? - perhaps he thought this as there is a dedicated connector?

Anyway, I hooked my GPS up to it initially and it worked fine, plus, as Scottnet has said, it seems to be fused on the sidelight circuit, so you ought to be good to go... although ideally if you can get the proper opposite connector to fit, if a dealer ever did have to disconnect it and hook something else to it, it would be simple swap over?

Anyone got an idea where to find one of these? Been asking around "everywhere". No big deal if I have to cut it off and replace with something else but it would feel better having the original.

Like I say, it's probably best not to cut it off, just incase it is required for service etc.

You could try these people (certainly in the UK, I imagine they would ship too)

Or do what I did originally and use a couple of 1.5mm spade connectors (the kind you get in the waterproof plug connectors) which will sit snugly in the OE Yamaha connector - wrap the connector in heat shrink and it's as tight as a tight thing, that has just been tightened, and left it's wallet in Scotland...

this connector, if indeed it is to supply the GPS, and clearly it has some purpose, then, given that it is there and someone has taken the time to fit an end tail to it and include it in the harness. You would think that somewhere there is a part that connects into it? and it should be on the Yamaha spares list ?? If that's the case, then the part should identify what it's for ???

When you take the Tenere in to the dealer for a service, as your friendly mechanic for a connector - they are fairly standard on most yamaha looms.

That's what I did.
