  1. Hi all, trying to find a live feed to wire my sat nav into on a 1260 MTS, and ive got the left cover of the front which is where theres supposed to beba deed, and i cant find anythingbthay looks right, apart from one connector that is wired into a little black box, that looks like some kind of transmitter, but it looks like it's meant to be there. I dontbwant to disconnect it in case its a tracker or something more important. Any help with specific locations on where the actual lead is found please. 20250425_153006.jpg
     
  2. Looks like a GPS tracker :bucktooth:

    Edit: Scratch that with a bit of Google's help and the part number it appears to be a bluetooth multimedia module.

  3. Or a track transponder?
    Its definitely not standard then? In which case I can remove it.
     
  4. See edit above ;)

  5. So is this a standard part that is required for the bike, and more importantly does this use the power take off, or is the pto somewher else really well hidden?
     
  6. No idea I'm afraid but I'm sure someone with much better knowledge than me will be along shortly :upyeah:
     
  7. I think you need to look a little further back, in the space to the left and to rear of the headstock. It's a small white connector that's connected to a short lead that's terminated inside of some heat shrink. It's somewhat tucked away. You need to disconnect at the connecter and dip the terminated end into a cup of just boiled water to soften it and hopefully pull the heat shrink off. You then connect this to your sat nav lead and plug back in again.

  8. I think i know where you mean, as theres a connector in there, that looks like it could be the remote fuel tap socket . But bugger me, it doesnt want to come out, as its got a rubber tie around it, but even with that removed and with pliers on it its not coming out, and i dont like forcing things. I'll have another look in the morning,
    Thanks.
     
  9. The sat nav/accessory connector is small with quite fine wires, the same as those used on the indicators. You need to press in a particular way with a fine tool to separate it. You can just see the hole (orange) in the connector for this in the video below. It's a bit fiddly...

     
  10. Found it thanks. I'd already watched that video, and 2 or 3 other posts, in the end t had been shoved so far back into the frame that it had caught on some other wiring and took quite a bit of effort to free it.
    Not often that something so simple frustrates me, ir even makes me ask for help!
