Auxilliary power supply on 5th Gen 800FiY

Fr Dougal · 11-28-2008, 09:38 AM

Guys,
Can anyone tell me know if the VFR800Fi has an auxillary power source tucked away somewhere behind the fairings? If yes, where could I find it?
I plan to fit heated grips and a battery status monitor at the weekend so would be handy.

Ideally I want a switched source and I can connect to a relay for the main feed from the battery.

Thanks in advance, I searched first but didn't find anything about it.

Not on a stock model that I know of, if you're speaking of some kind of plug-in power source.

No stock source. You need to go here:

Motorcycle Relay Kits, Headlight Modulators, Parts, Powerlet, Centech, Posi-Lock, and More!

Best custom stuff on the market today.

Nope, not stock. Many people have added just what you mentioned without problems, though.

I am not talking about a cigarette lighter type socket, more a pair of wires "+" and "-".

I have two bikes. On the NT650V there is a pair of wires tucked into the fairing at the front with spade connectors, a negative earth and a positive supply which comes on with the ignition. Just looking for something similar on the VFR?

The heated grips and battery monitor will be permanenty connected, not plugged in.

I will just find a positive switched feed at the fusebox and bring this to the relay, with a direct positive lead from the battery.

I prefer the wiremybike.com site. they offer a plug and play kit that has two loose wires, one positive, one negative.

You could install a fuse box powered by the battery via a relay.
Search for fuse panel or fuse box install
