It’s a 2022 transcontinental. I purchased it used, and added roughly 6,000 miles. No error codes appear, so I wonder whether the first owner might have disconnected it on purpose and even fitted Servo buddies.
Just wondering if I should connect it or not.
I discovered this connector hanging beneath the bike. Does anyone have suggestions? Is it intended for optional equipment or diagnostics, or did it come loose somewhere?
I was considering this one, but the price for the galaxy dust was just so much better.

For me, the TC is an easy 200+ miles in one stretch without even thinking about it. With the wind protection and the seat, you can just settle in and let the miles roll. If I really want to push it, 250+ is doable before I feel like taking a break. On my standard R18 I feel like I need a break...
Thanks! After a year on the R18, adding the Transcontinental really does feel like stepping into a different category of comfort. The TC takes everything I liked about the R18 and adds true long‑distance capability, so the two bikes complement each other instead of overlapping.
