Claudio Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'm making an educated guess as I have an 1150. From the location and the fact that there is only two pins, I think its a connection point for an AUX power outlet. The 1150RT has a connection in the same location. Link to comment
Paul De Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yup, this was an accessory addition to the R1100RT. Two parallel outlets on the same wires. Link to comment
Miguel! Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Is it on the same fuse circuit as the dashboard aux connector? Is it powered on all the time or switched off with the ignition. Thx Miguel Link to comment
Tri750 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 You could get either one or two power outlets . My 1100 has the single. They are always "hot" and I have no idea if It uses the same circuit as the dash receptacle . it can be used like the dash plug, to either supply power or to charge the battery with the correct adapter to your charger.

Miguel For sure not it isn't needed, but I liked that position for my heated vest as it kept the handlebar area clear of wires and off the paint on the tank. Link to comment

Afternoon Miguel! Yes, there are some hanging or taped up that go to other accessories. The main one that comes to mind is just forward of where your current picture shows (about mid bike L/H side)-- there is a 3 wire connector there that hooks to an idle trim pot (used on European/ non US) 1100 bikes that didn't come with an o2 sensor or catalytic converter). On U.S. bikes it is not connected to anything. Link to comment

Could be, depends on what is installed now & what the bike was built with. If it has a factory radio prep installed but no radio then it could have a number of unused connectors under the front. Best bet is (IF) you find any un-connected connectors is just post a picture here & we will identify them for you. Link to comment

Miguel, you can also add the expensive (I think) but worth its weight in 10mm sockets, “Authorities Sidestand Harness” that permits your bike to run with the side stand down . I installed one in my ‘99 RT and wished I had done it sooner . I was able to install it without removing the entire left panel , just a few screws to flex it and the black trim panel .

Morning Tri750 You don't need the expensive RT-P harness & switch as the same thing can be done with a cheap relay, & a couple lengths of wire. (I used to modify all my 1100 bikes). Link to comment

Miguel! Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Counterpoint... My other bike has a non interlocked side stand (meaning it will run with the stand down). It is designed to swing up on its own (using springs) once the pressure is take off it by standing the bike up straight. One day, it didn't come all the way up. I discovered it wasn't up when I did a low speed left. Fortunately, it just pushed me back upright and not over. I re-lubed the side stand and all is well in the world. Given the potential for disaster, I'd never defeat the side stand interlock, personally. Also, it's possible, depending on the slope of the ground and the attitude of the bike relative to the slope, for the bike to vibrate off the side stand and do a solo high-side on its own. As is commonly said, "Don't ask me how I know." I never leave a bike running on a side stand as a result. Cheers! Miguel! Link to comment

It's not defeating the side stand interlock as the engine will still quit when bike is put in gear with side stand down. The modification ONLY allows the engine to run with side stand down in neutral. Link to comment

If your 1100RT will run with the side stand down in neutral then it has been modified (or it is/was an RT-P) . Even (if) modified it s-h-o-u-l-d quit when put in gear with side stand down.

Morning Paul I do have one (someplace) I had a hand drawn on paper that I used to give out copies to fellow riders (don't think I have an electronic one but I probably should make one) I will dig through my paper files this weekend & if can find it will run a copy & post it for you. All it does is use the trans neutral switch to trigger a relay that shunts the side stand switch with trans in neutral. Link to comment
