So I picked up this '07 b11 last week, and while cleaning on it and after I removed the instruments to open it up and clean out the moisture, I find this little plug hanging down behind the headlight. I looked all over and couldn't find where it might go, so I pulled the tank and still can't figure out where it goes. Anyone here recognize it and where it goes?

Thanks. 20191202 190709 20191202 190715
 
I can't even tell where the other end connects to. It goes up under the steel cross piece just below the vin plate. Looks like I'd have to remove a few things to get to it, like the airbox and the little plastic vapor vent tank in front of the airbox, and ....
 
I have an '06 B11 which I've had tank and air box off many times and not seen a cable like that. If there are no faults codes showing and the bike runs well, it's most likely an aftermarket item. I've always found that if anything is disconnected or not right, the dash faults pick it up.
 
Yeah the more I look the more it looks like an aftermarket cable. I didn't have time today to tear into it more so will try tomorrow to follow it to wherever it's connected. At first I thought it might be for the heated grips but I think they're working ok. Before I took the dash off I did notice the grip heater icon on the dash and the three different heat settings, and I think they started to warm up but I didn't leave them on for long.
I'll post a update when I figure it out .. or not.
Thanks guys.
 
The plug itself looks like one I've seen on a Garmin GPS. Mine was an old GPSV so didn't have the ears. But it's a good guess.
 
That is the plug that attaches to a Garmin Zumo 550. The former owner, apparently, removed his Zumo, but not the power cable.

Thank you RV, that's it!
As Robert says, I just knew someone would know. Good deal, nothing to worry about. Now I know I can remove it without worry.
Hey Robert, you want that cable after I remove it? I'll send it to you free.??
