Please identify this loose cable

[CafeNervosa]

What is this loose cable?
I don't know what this cable is for.  I cannot find it on the electrical schematic drawing.
Wire colors are BRN and BLK.
It is possible it is a trickle charger lead wire, but the prior owner did not mention that he added a trickle charger wire harness.  I guess I could test that theory, but the bike is not here with me.
The bike as a 1989 FK1200 California
Thanks in advance.

That is what is on my California edition 86'. It went to an electric valve that opened and closed for the charcoal-filled vapor-collecting canisters behind the oil cooler. It is switched with the ignition so it is a handy connection for accessories.

Yep...what he said.

My '92 has the same "connector to nowhere" and I pondered this for a while as well.  Intended for California models, it's just just not used on the non-California models.

I use it as a switch to drive 2 relays.  It is an ignition switched circuit and works great for that purpose.

Just curious George.  which 2 relays are you running off of it?

Heated grips and driving lights (of which are not installed yet).  When the ignition is off I want them both circuits off line.
The third relay is driven by my horn switch to the Hella horns.

No need to worry, George just snuck in a picture of the avionics panel in an F16.

Since my bike is a California model, should this wire be plugged into the emissions device?

Do you still have it?

George's picture also shows the "field wire" red connector that's being discussed elsewhere.

And the field wire did suffer some over heating of the connector.  When it is unplugged you can see the damage.  I changed out the regulator to an external unit.
No real damage.  Caught it before it was a problem because I installed a voltmeter in my panel last year and observed the charging voltage going up, I think it got to 15.2 volts when I changed out the regulator.

It's only clean because I can't ride it     See you in a few days.

Yes, I think the California emissions control is still installed.  I have owned the bike for only a few months.
