Possibly, anyone confirm? got a great deal on the grips incidentally, ordered 24.99 dr bike ones as they look just like my oxford ones on the 955 sprint and the company sent me much more expensive oxford hot grips by mistake. Even says Dr bike 24.99 on the invoice. Oh how I laughed

The general consensus on this little connector is that it is for a GPS (considering it's location close to the GPS mount). It is switched and I think someone traced out which circuit it is on.

Cheers, I will follow it back and see what fuse rating in in the circuit and what, if anything else is on there as the grips draw 4 amps. Thanx Al. |

hi, the connector is part of the sidelight circuit, it is covered with a 10 amp fuse which is way more than the lights require and for that reason i believe it is an ignition controlled aux power source.
my hot grips and ciggy style gps/phone charger have been connected via a 7.5 fuse to the connector since i got the bike 26 months and 27,000 miles ago and have worked fine with no problems bernard |

As Bernard suggests, you do need a correctly rated extra inline fuse so as to protect yourself from losing the tail light if your grips/gps malfunctions whilst on the move.
Also remember the supply will be live when the ignition is in the parking light position with the key removed, so there is potential to flatten your battery in double quick time if you forget and leave the grips switched on and do this. I know a fair few people (including me) who have walked off and left their bike in daylight without realising they'd turned the key round one notch too far - easily done! |
