In the front of my new Tenere I can find a "free" plug.
I would like to connect my GPS there.
You have any idea what kind of connector I need to use the plug?

By the way - Yamaha Germany knows nothing about�this part.

Kind regards

Its the 'options' connector wired into the indicator circuit (I think) on a 10A fuse and is generally considered a safe place to wire a GPS to.

I've been using my Garmin for 6 months now, powered up from this socket with no problems at all...

Hi Andy12, does it shut off the power supply to the GPS when you shut off the bike? I read somewhere that the plug was supposed to be for plugging into some computer at dealership for complete diagnostic of the bike. No?

The circuit that the connector is on has a 10A fuse but there is already close to 5A worth of load on there (if all the lights are on at the same time). so as long as when you connect to the connector draws less than 5A you will be ok (fit an in-line 5A fuse just to be on the safe side).

It's on the parking light circuit, so if you turn the parking lights on it is powered.
