While I had my G5 torn apart, I noticed a plug under the seat. It is a two prong female plug with a green wire and a black wire attached. It was not plugged into anything and I am just wondering if anyone knows what it may be for.

Thx

Ahhh too easy. Won't make the obvious butt plug joke. Oops, did it.

in one of the other threads there is a wiring diagram ....  I'm thinking it was Steve and Matt collaborating.

Side stand switch.

Do you have a picture ?

Are you asking about one of these under the seat of G5 ?

It grounds the muffler bearing when the 3/4 Pinckney flange is actuated.





 

Kidding. You'd think I would be able to tell you after diving into that mess on my bike recently....but....I can't. Bumping the thread with a too-bored-on-a-nice-day, meaningless, less than useless response so that someone who knows can help you out.

The muffler bearing....I should have know, I ditched that thing when I put on my BSA Goldstar muffler!

See?? Gotta watch those mods!!

It appears to be side-stand switch connector. 

On my G5 the wires colors are sometimes different from later models. The male connector has beige colored wires from side-stand. It meets female connector from harness with one black and the other green/blue wire.

The male half of connector is wrapped in a shrink tube in the picture below.

Your side-stand switch may be disconnected, just like mine.
