One for the brains trust if you wouldnt mind gents. I have a mate that whats to run a 12v outlet to power his Garmin 60csx on an XR600 Anyone done this that can help us with a tip or advice? Cheers TB
instead of a twelve volt or as well as - you could put in a GPS plug straight on the battery - That way the GPS runs all the time and doesnt have the possibility of intermittent connection in 12 volt. and you can still run something in the 12 volt if the GPS plug is hard wired separately ! Just put fuse as close to the battery as possible!
I installed a 12V ciggy plug on my XR400 to run an Iphone & charge a Gopro by patching into the Regulator/Rectifier & running a in line fuse. Works perfectly. Creedy.
Now that sounds like the go, can you share anymore info regarding which wires on the 400 colour etc I can cross it over for him from there? Thanks TB
Just a thought could you come off your head light wires before or after the switch if you didn't want to get in off the regulator?
Not headlight. Aussie xrs run dual circuits ac for lights and dc for sensitive stuff. The xr lights have their own power system. Run a lead from horn power which is dc. (you need dc to run a gps)
Put a capacitor across the postitive and negitive of the supply to the GPS to extend the life of the GPS.
Yep, +1 for the Horn. I checked mine Today as I couldnt remember which way I went & I ended up splicing in to the Horn power running out of the Switch block on the L/H side of the Bars. I used a Test Light to find the correct Wire & ran it from that, then spliced into the nearest earth. Happy Days. Creedy.
I am about to install a GPS (zumo 660) to a xr 600 using the horn cables. How large (how many farad) should the capacitor be?
Hi guys i need some help with finding a DC power scource all the wires ive tried dont work, Horn- light green wire if i tap into this and plug into the socket the bloody horn comes on, Indicators -used as earth but positive on horn....horn comes on intermitant im guessing because of the flasher, i just need constant DC and the wires i need to tap into to so my socket is working on its own, thanks in advance Jabba
I could be wrong but it sounds as though you are splicing in after the switch/button for indicators and horn, you need to tap into the system before the switches I would think.
I have no idea if they are the same Digga, but i suspect they are very closely related they are both dual circuit bikes running AC/DC no battery jobbies any idea which wires ?
you will need the green and the brown from the rectifier. think mine puts out about 13.5v constant from memory
