Just found this electrical connection under the seat, they weren’t attached but bike runs fine, anyone know what it’s for and I presume they should be connected back together?
Thanks in advance

Don't know what it's for sorry, but also interested.

Kinda disappointing seeing an OEM use a cheapo Superseal connector on a pricey bike for competition use, but then I guess if it's usually unplugged then never mind.

Seems kinda weird, and a little worrying, that the owners manual straight off their website for the '16 350 has no mention of this connector, just the battery and how to tell if a fuse is blown... shiiiit Austria, get it together.

I figured you would have mate, wasn't trying to say you didn't or anything. Seems like a poor effort on their part not to cover it don't it.

It is the same type of plug that is used for the fuel pump no newer models but if it was the fuel pump on this bike it wouldn't run. Trace it out and see where it goes.

Yeah if you get a chance or do find out mate pop it up here, I'm still interested in just what it is...

Weird only being (presumably) a live and a ground too.
