ACE50 Posted March 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2012 On RSV and RSTD there is a switched aux power plug under the seat avaliable for use with small rubber plugs covering the pin holes. Does anyone know what pins to order to be able to use this? Dealer not sure what I'm talking about. Both of my bikes have it just sitting there.

XV1100SE Posted March 23, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2012 I did a search because I remember someone recently posted a way to connect to the existing wire connector.... couldn't find it. Other posts about this indicate that nobody could find the matching connector anywhere. Best to either ignore it and run your own wires (I installed a 6 fuse block) or cut off the connector and solder into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll do that. Wonder why Yamaha would put it there if you can't use it properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted March 23, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 23, 2012 Wonder why Yamaha would put it there if you can't use it properly? I've checked automotive shops and no one had the connector. You may have more luck or someone else can comment if they have a source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted March 23, 2012 Share #5 Posted March 23, 2012 I ran across the power outlet that it plugs into once and I want to say it was around $150 I will see if I can find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted March 23, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) They got cheaper only $50 bucks now http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/429/1785/12892/all/1/6193/0/detail.aspx the ad says it is for a snowmobile but it is the same plug. I am going to look on Mouser to see if I can find the plug itself, if anyone has it they will. Edited March 23, 2012 by etcswjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted March 23, 2012 Share #11 Posted March 23, 2012 Just cut the darn thing off and put whatever you want in its place. That's what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave77459 Posted March 24, 2012 Share #12 Posted March 24, 2012 I actually used the white cord today. I kinda used V7Goose's "Easy way to use that White Power Plug by Battery" how-to. I used needle-nosed pliers to pulll the gray plugs out of the caps, then jammed in the wires of the reservoir cover switch I wanted to power. They were too big to tin (not that I can do that well, anyways). But they went in far enough that when I plugged it into the powered end, it works, and reliably. I used shrink tubing to keep them in place. Caveats: * I used a volt meter to determine positive and ground before I went crazy. * The Kuryakyn Accessory Switch comes with a crap ton of in-line fuses, so I wasn't too worried about a loose connection, not that I think it is. In short, it was a five minute puzzle and install (not including the tank removal and routing, ugh), and it was free. And it works really well. Go for it!
