Title: Please tell me what this is
Post by: ff73148 on October 19, 2021, 08:24:07 PM: I own a 2020 California Touring. This plug on the harness is located on the battery cover. I have no idea what it is for.

Someone more knowledgeable about 2020's will chime in soon.

That's the Australia plug , when connected it allows for the motorbike to operate upside down .

Of course...it is the rare and elusive "PIPDICATOR PLUG" - - once activated, it solves any and all electrical and mechanical problems once and for all!! :laugh: :grin: :wink: :shocked: :rolleyes: :huh:

I looked at the wiring diagram but I still can't identify it. The wiring diagram is only up to a 2018 model.

That's what I thought. But a power supply for what?

Title: Re: Please tell me what this is
Post by: Dimitri_Harkov on October 20, 2021, 08:42:47 AM: Pretty sure that's the switched 12V power supply.
At least it looks exactly as the one on my V7 III.

Usefull for all kinds of stuff.
I have a twin USB-port connected to it.
(The original Guzzi USB port connects to that plug too)

Cheers,
D.

Post by: dirtiegirtie on October 20, 2021, 11:29:53 AM: Not sure where the battery is located on your bike, but if it's under the seat...

I have a similar connection under the seat of my Concours. It's for a heated seat (that mine does not have).

Post by: wavedog on October 20, 2021, 11:48:39 AM: All joking aside, that is the plug for the insertion of the hydro fluid gyro stabilized Turbo Encabulator.
Title: Re: Please tell me what this is
Post by: Sye on October 20, 2021, 11:59:44 AM: Heated seat power apparently.
