How many wires and what color? If it is a 2 wire with one black and the other black/white, that's a wheel sensor.

Gritting my teeth (wiring ocd issues...) it looks like an aftermarket accessory connector of some kind. A wheel sensor won't be carrying the current required to melt the connector. Looks like it has been used for something that has shorted out.

What aftermarket accessories are fitted to the bike? Looking at the wiring I can see I'm guessing there are at least three things.

I’m with tallpaul, looks very aftermarket.
The electronics are a mess, so somebody has been hobbying. Just following the wires is the way to know for sure what they are.

My side panel is currently off, so just had a look. That connector is present on my bike, so I guess it’s a standard part. Unfortunately it goes into a loom just above and below the connector. Best wait for someone to advise after checking the wiring diagram.

I was going to mention the other wires but his question is trying to solve just the one burned circuit. All the other ones are a different issue.

Could you take a picture of yours? It may add clarity. That's a sizable cable so it must be carrying a fair load, especially if it is factory fitted.

Edit: just had a look at my bike. It has the same connector. One end goes into the loom with one of the o2 sensors and an engine sensor (guessing oil level).

I have tested with another cable +/- same size and ther is no smoking coming out of the wires. Still it's warm, not hot, just barely can hold my hand... while the motor is turning. Checked also with voltmeter and I messure 12,4V. When trottle is increased I messsure some peaks of 13, 2V.

For the 2013-2013 Gen 1 S10, the wiring diagram has only 2, 2 cable connectors that are black/white cables, and they are for #46 or #47 (the speed sensors)

Marcel -

Welcome to the group - Sorry it had to be with a problem.
That's a photo of a dead short, so something somewhere is no longer going to work.
To cut the game of "64 Question,"
What year is the bike and what accessories beyond the GPS does it have?
Can you follow the wires at all? If they go into a bundle, where does the bundle go?
Is anything not working or are there any panel lights showing such as the Check Engine?
Have you pulled and checked each of the fuses?

Thats definitely aftermarket. Accessories like lights or gps would be my guess. Simple check of the accessories if they work at this point would be the simplist. What doesn't work is where Id start. Id almost think its something installed with no fuse to melt the connector like that.

OP, what year is your bike? My 2010 Service Manual shows different to that advised by Seabass. Mine suggests the ABS ECU Control Unit

LOL I think Bob has the best advice. All of our diagrams are different depending on year, model and country of origin.
