Connector under saddle

I am doing my first routine maintenance to my R11S, and I have noticed a 2 wire open connector on the right hand side under the saddle, about halfway towards the tail.

Anyone know what this is for?

That could be a hard-wired connector for a battery tender/charger such as an Optimate. See if you can trace the lead(s) back to the battery rather than into the main harness.

If it's into the harness .... no idea?

It's into the harness.

Think I found it; just realized the manual has a harness overview and I think it is the ABS sensor connector, which is not hooked up since I do not have ABS on my bike.

Interesting though, if the harness is identical on ABS and non-ABS bikes and all the wiring is in place, it should be relatively easy to retrofit a non-ABS bike with the (in case of my 2003) EVO3 ABS and partial integral brake system if one would for instance find a totalled bike of the same year.

It's for the power out socket that you can fit if you need somewhere to plug your heated clothing / optimate etc

Is that standard?

The wiring is std, but the socket is an optional extra, available from dealers or motorworks etc.
