So, Cradley sourced a new Gen 1 keyfob for me (OUCH!  :angry:) and synched it up to ECU, 30 minutes work.
Helpful service manager said few issues with the bike that he'd like to point out......Ok, sphincter twitch commenceth!  :undecided:
Shows me wiring connection I had made to connector in wiring loom under seat - advised the socket that I had connected to was the ABS diags port, and recommended I should move it in case of interference!

Then promptly showed me the fusebox under seat that has accessory fuse detailed, and said just move wire to there!
Never realised, but the elusive black and white AUX wires in n\s fairing and near tail cowl are fed from here, so far easier to remove fuseblock, and tap into the fused side of the 10A accessory fuse wiring!

See pics, but now known, its so easy to wire stuff in, needless to say my Givi Maxia remote is now wired in to a much safer place! :yes:
Also informed me that taped up connectors under the seat, identified on previous posts, were solely earth bonding plugs. KHI observed that individual connectors wired to earth on older models suffered corrosion / grey wire / resistive, so that explains those under the seat!

Also then advised that brake fluid looks a tad coloured, re-inforcing change every 2 years as per schedule. Did say the he's known 2 ABS fails where the dirty fluid caused pump malfunction, not a cheap fix either!
So, all brake / clutch fluids changed, wiring sorted, and spare keyfob available for SWMBO in case I perform another FKIT action!   :whistling:
Roll on Tuesday, big boat to Spain!  :scooter:

That accessory tip is good to know as I need to add a couple of bits, on our trip to France the other week I used a double cig lighter plugged into the bike one for sat-nav & autocom.

It was ok but did work loose a couple of times,  bit of a pig to try and push it back in at high speed on the autoroute.  Also it's good to find out about those "earth bonding plugs"....I asked about them a while back, now I know.

Cradley Kwak are not far from us, 30 mins nice to know you got good service  :clap:

Look after that fob  :sweatdrop:  I only lost the key out of it  :wacko: ,  have a great holiday & ride safe.

That's useful, thanks.
when all else fails read the manual
