How to Use Battery Tender on MV Agusta Motorcycle

What is the plug underneath 2016 MV Agusta Brutale 1090 Seat?

If you just bought your first MV Agusta, or any other new motorcycles for that matter, you may have noticed a plug underneath your seat while you were playing with your new road tool kit. If you did see the plug, than you most certainly noticed it wasn’t plugged into anything. After making sure everything works flawlessly, such as the lights and dashboard, you are left asking yourself the question, “What is the plug underneath my 2016 MV Agusta Brutale 1090 seat?” Or at least something along those lines.

More Crazy Tech: Silver Arrow of the Seas

Modern Motorcycle Technology

Traditionally, motorcycles are simpler than cars in terms of technology. Things like anti-lock brakes, check engine lights, and traction control all came much later for motorcycles than they did for cars. The reason for this is due to the complications of having only two wheels, but mostly it was done to keep costs down because motorcycles and cheap thrills are supposed to by synonymous. Although motorcycles still don’t have driver-assistance features, DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes, or GPS navigation, they have come a long way, quickly catching up to the automobile.

Battery Tender

Have you ever seen a truck or car with what looks like the end of an extension chord dragging on the ground under the front grille of the car? Well first of all, it’s not supposed to be dragging, but that is an auxiliary heater for the engine. If you aren’t using it, it isn’t plugged into anything and looks like an error if you don’t know what it is. That is what is going on here. The extra female plug underneath the seat of your MV Agusta Brutale 1090 is a batter tender, used to save the life of the battery when storing the bike for long periods of time or in cold weather. When you buy a batter tender for a motorcycle, it will come with the male piece that plugs into this rogue attachment.
