What's this wire for ?

[invalidsession]

I had the seat off the Max for a re-cover the other day and I noticed a lead from the battery ground terminal. It's about a foot long and has a protective cap on the end. My first thought was it might be perhaps a flying lead for a battery tender but there is no corresponding cable from the positive terminal.
Anyone shed any light on this ?
Thanks guys,


Chris.

The corresponding positive terminal lead has already been removed. Hope that helps.

LOL, that sounds like the battery charger adapter cable that someone bolted on (for a maintainer).

It's a factory item stamped "Yamaha"on the shroud. It has a male and female port with a corresponding cover, to cover the terminals while not in use. Tis a fucking mystery since there is nothing whatsoever from the positive side of the battery that would make sense from a charging point of view. :confused2:
Maychance it's a very rare Yamaha item rarely seen by the gods that is worthy of a bidding war on ebay ?
Yeah right

Need a picture and I can probably tell you right off.
