What is this ?

[georgerdp]

Hi , I am new on this forum .
I did find a lot of good stuff here in the last 2 weeks since I have my fz6, thank you all and I hope I will get help about next thing.
Today after 100 miles , I had a break and after a short inspection I did find this .

See this thread:

An adapter for heated gear or a battery maintainer, most likely. You'd have to trace the wires under the fuel tank or inner fairing to be sure. The blue stuff? No idea. For water proofing, perhaps.

Optimate 4 Battery Tender
Good to know , and I reckon blue stuff may be wax and soap because the bike had a good wash and that *Tamiya (or TM) connector* was not properly covered by the lid . Hope that blue stuff does not go up to the battery .I will put the tank up as soon as I get a day off from work to see what is going on there . Thanks for your time guys .

Could be dy electric grease, or corrosion, hard to tell.

Damn, I hate these threads...

Did some research on the Optimate 6 charger, $100+ later, another charger:

Used Optimate III the entire time I had my FZ. From 2004 - 2014 and recently sold with the original battery still showing "good" condition on the charger. Blah
