ACC1 & 2

[Giles]

Has anybody used it yet .... ?

I need some bullet connectors but I've put the bike away now and can't remember exactly what i should be looking to buy ..

Something like the 3.5 mm male bullet connestors on here ... ????

Ooops ... not quite sure what happened to the link - ended up with a photo ..

They are spade connectors, and found under the cigarette lighter power unit. Looks pretty straight forward enough ....

It is. You also have the same at the back. I have chopped my garmin lead and connected it to the front. It is really tidy. No need to take the headlight to bits just fiddle around under the PowerPoint and you will find the spare leads.

Did you use acc 1 or 2 ??

All sorted and a ten minute job. I've connected an I phone charger (Cookie .... I know we had a spank at Bakermans do and Tom Tom's 'winding roads' took us home ... !) so that my phone won't drain if I use the satnav on that (music .. what ever) and will wire up the more formal Garmin 660 when the brackets from SW Motech arrive.

Hi Giles

Nice bike - but please explain the photo.

Eyes closed? Perhaps a surprise is about to happen?

And, "take your shoes off, don't want the pegs getting dirty"? Or some other reason you must be barefoot to sit on a KTM.

Just wondering ?????

ACC1 yellow/red is always live. it's fed from a 10A fuse and is the circuit that the dash socket is wired to. this is what i wired the Hella socket to that i added on the side panel. there is an additional pair of ACC1/2 wires under the rack.

ACC2 blue/red is an ignition switched supply from the "central electrical system control unit", which i guess is part of the ECU? hard to say how much load that can handle, but my garmin is wired to it. i also have a iphone charger wired into that line as well that powers a setup like giles has. i was very impressed with the tom tom app when he demonstrated it at the hograost.

one thing though: there is a guy on ADVrider that says a KTM tech told him never to wire anything into ACC1 as it causes error codes, but i suspect he's got it the wrong way around



i didn't know you could get at the wiring from the back of the headlight. it's a bit of a pain to take the light unit out
