How did you run your hot wire from the battery?

[SCflyer]

12 990R that I will be putting a Fuzeblock on and prefer to run this off the battery vs ACC wires (though may tap into one for relay on/off). New to the KTM and wondering how you folks are routing the wire from the battery up to the fuze block? Want to keep it away from the exhaust and also wondering how you run it out of the battery box?

IE - out the side, top through the back, is there a connection down there that connects to the hot side but allows you not having to go directly from the battery?

I've got wiring diagrams and mx info for the bike but first hand knowledge/experience is great as well. I've done some searching and seen different preferences of where to mount it and thinking tool tray at the moment, glove box secondary. Either easier to run wires to?

Thanks folks

I took a live from the main fuse, bottom right side of engine (using an eye on the terminal: inner of the to fat cables with the red sleeves). I added a fuse immediately afterwards (empty clear box to the left) to protect the cable that I ran - in sheathing - up to the sub-frame behind the headlight. This is a 950, so yours may be slightly different.

Note also, that the aluminium headlight sub-frame may provide an unreliable earth, as the paint of the main frame prevents good contact.

True on the aluminium headlight frame. Do not rely on this for grounding. Found this out when I mounted my Baja Designs LED quad-in-line light. When I grounded to the HL frame, the 50% dimmer did not work. Thought I had a faulty unit. Called BD and they quickly figured out where I went wrong. Great service from Diego and those BD guys.

Moved the ground on my 990 to the ground bolt under the glove box unit and the dimmer worked fine. So does this light by the way.

I installed a fuse box in the tool bin under the seat from which I run my relay switches for Freeway blaster horns, LED headlight, and HID main headlight.

I live in Cambodia so have NO need of hand warmers, or electric vests and underwear. An AC unit blowing cool air strategic places would be nice though. Ah, another project to ponder.

May our God who loves men on dirt bikes, give you time and energy to ride, and the blessing of feeling His pleasure along the way.

The 990''s have a big power lug near that main fuse. The ground location is just 2" away. Disconnect the battery first, it is a large cable with no fuse.

Bingo, right in the brohole!
