I welcomed the new Second Bike to the garage

On older BMWs we used the accessory outlet for heated gear or tire pumps but our last three bikes the outlet has a low limit.
Not hard to add a harness to the battery but it seems silly to have a outlet that's not much use.

I take it you mean what is the limit in current draw in these outlets. 

Both the rider and passenger DIN sockets are 12V / 5A but the fuses for those circuits are both 10A. The USB socket is 12V / 2A but the fuse on that shared circuit is also 10A.

I have never used the rear DIN socket on the RS, and any time I need to use the tire pump I use my charging pigtail with SAE connector. I expect I will do the same with this bike, which came with a dealer-supplied pigtail. Since my heated gear pigtail has a different (not SAE) socket, I guess another pigtail on the left side will be installed in the Fall.
