GRiSO 1200 8V What's the plug for ?

I've been going over the GRiSO 8V loom looking for loose connection or wires in an attempt to clear up the on going electrical problems and I've found this 'plug' ??
What is it, has it become disconnected or is that the way its supposed to be (it is up under the headstock, spotted it after removing the black plastic cover plate).

see picture below:

Possibly the Bank Angle (Tip Over) Sensor.

It's attached to the frame behind the head.

The bike would run with it disconnected.

No, I was wrong it's the GPS connector, sorry.

Thanks Brian, so its not something that has become disconnected and I can ignore it. My hunt therefore continues for the electrical gremlin that is making the ignition key forget its key code for time to time.
Getting feed up with having it trip me up when I least expecting it (turning it on and off clears the problem..... until the next time)

That's weird, the key should not forget it's code, it's a passive device. Anyway you could use the spare if you think the key is suspect and that would confirm it.

If the immobiliser does not recognise the key, it should prompt you to enter the user code.

Perhaps the ignition switch is faulty?

Try spraying the keyhole with electrical contact cleaner.

Brian, I've tried swapping keys, same problem, its caught me out a few times while travelling abroad, really freaks you out when your miles from anywhere that the bike won't start. Clearly the immobiliser is not recognising the key as your quite right it displays 'enter key code' on the dash. Switching it off and then on again, or taking the key out and then trying it again and it works. Quite a laugh when it was in for its MOT I can tell you "Well it's Italian, mate"

Could be the immobiliser/aerial?

Check for the following instrument panel errors:

DSB 01 Immobilizer failure. Key code read but not recognized.
DSB 02 Immobilizer failure. Key code not read (key not inserted or transponder broken).
DSB 03 Immobilizer failure. Aerial not working (open or short-­‐circuited)
DSB 04 Immobilizer failure. Internal controller failure.

I've read somewhere that the aerial can be a problem, i.e. damaged or not routed properly.

Yup, your antenna is dodgy and needs replacing.

Thanks Pete, before I order one is this whats called the "Antitheft Antenna" part number 981160 ?

Cheers

Russ

That be him.

OK so the new Antitheft antenna has arrived, I take it from the parts listing diagram its part of the dashboard. If so do I simply take the dash apart and replace it or is there more I need to be aware of before I start pulling things apart ?

Look at the last post in this thread,
