Can I plug my battery tender into the heater plug
#4
I have a YUASA battery tender. The connector is un-marked as to polarity. Last night I hooked it up to charge a Gel Cell battery on my workbench. The first try, I had polarity reversed. I just touched the lead briefly... and noticed the charge LED lit RED (instead of the normal green) to alert me that I had to reverse the polarity of the lead extensions. I swapped them, and it started charging the battery. :-)
If your battery tender is as smart as my YUASA unit - it should tell you if polarity is incorrect.

Acualy I'm not sure what the plug is for that sticks out beside the seat. I assumed it was for a heated vest or something

I got the bike with 200kms without a scratch on it in what I thought was completely stock form.
It works with my heated vest also but that kills the battery.
