New Bike! Quick question.

[GrphicGolem]

I recently picked up a FZ6 2004! Loving it so far. It is pretty good condition beside the fact the left fork has a leaking problem. However I got new seals and oil. Going to be a project for the weekend. I do have one question. My google fu is not good enough to find the answer.

There is some sort of power connector on the left side of the bike just under the seat. I have attached photos and left a imgur link also leading to the photos. What is the connector for? It is not your standard 12v cigarette lighter connector.

Thanks for reading!

That's a Powerlet, BMW style outlet. Works the same as a cig outlet but it's waterproof and made for bikes.

Likely hooked up to the battery thru a fuse. Great for heated clothing,, air compressor, battery charger, etc,
