Quick update.
I've now had the light replaced under the manufactures warranty, it was touch and go though as the warranty had expired a couple of weeks previously.
On closer inspection I noticed that the led;s were flickering, or at least one was, I think it's down to poor solder joints caused by lead free solder.
Best to keep an eye on this as a new light will cost £150.00.
I'm not sure at what point you would fail an MOT due to defective LED's.
Stay safe.
Colin.

Hi
I have the same finish and I use this, I know it says spray wax but it says it's suitable for Matte & wraps.
This works really well and smells like marzipan, available from Halfords.

Hi all
While out on a ride today one of my friends noticed that there was a couple of LED's out in the rear light.
The faulty LED's on the far left hand side (on all the time) , sometimes the two LED's are off and sometimes one appears to glow dimly, oddly when the brake is applied they come on. it sounds like a dry joint on the day light running side.
Has anyone else noticed this issue?
Stay Safe.

Hi Guys.
I have a theory....
I noticed this on My FJR and on the Tracer, this appeared to be worse in damp weather and we put it down to there being a small amount of tyre rubber on the road from cars and lorries, this gets sprayed onto the hot parts of the exhaust and creates a smell like burning rubber.
The smell becomes less noticeable after a good rain storm and then the roads have dried as all the rubber gets rinsed away.
And this is my theory.
Be Good.

Hi Vtwin.
Ebay is the place to find them pretty inexpensive I got a pair of them for about $4.60 just search for MT09 Aux power connector.

I've just placed an order for the plug connector that connects to the Aux lead as I don't really want to cut the plug off I hope to get this sorted out so I can put the TomTom Nav back on.
I'm still getting to know the GT, went out Sunday it was a beautiful day and the bike got soaked........went through a road with a burst water main DOH, oh well I think you get to know the bike a bit more when you clean for the first time, one thing I found was watch out for the Tracer stickers they are a little sharp and will easily catch a Microfiber cloth and perhaps become damaged / pulled off.
Have a good day.

Right here we go.
I had a bit of time today so I thought I'd get to the bottom of the AUX Connector conundrum.
The procedure is as follows, firstly remove the screen.
Once the sren is held on with four nylon screws be careful when removing these as you could easily damage the head.
When you have the screen out of the way you have to remove the screen height mechanism to remove.
The mechanism is removed by releasing three 5mm socket head screws, one is accessible when the mechanism is in the low position the other two are accessed in the upper position.
Once the mechanism is out of the way you have to remove the plastic cover.
This plastic is removed by releasing a number of plastic rivets, these are removed by pressing the centre of the rivet with a small pointy thing. See the pictures for details of their locations.
THe rivets are mirrored on each side.
Once all of the rivets have been removed the plastic cover can be wiggled out and then you have this.
There are 4 cap head bolts that hold this in place, remove this to give access to the wiring behind.
The black boot appears to have the connector were looking for as you can see below.
I'm going to order a connector to plug into this as there is just a blank plug at the moment.
Reassembly, just read from this end back, this is a really easy procedure but I thought I'd share it.
Really enjoying the GT

OK great pictures, do we know how that plastic plate comes off to expose the rear of the display, I notice a hole in the middle, does this have a fixing in it perhaps.
Thanks for the information.

Hi Vtwin996
Did you remove the screen or just looked around that area, I think the screen has to come off and expose the back of the clocks.

Hi Guys.
I have also wandered about this power connector can Vtwin or anyone else confirm that the connectors are behind the screen that would be very useful
.
Thanks
