Instruction manual

If fitting the optional on-bike rubber socket storage holders,
ensure all surfaces are flat, clean, dry and free from grease and wax
etc. PLEASE NOTE; the socket holders are designed to keep the
sockets tidy and dry when not riding. Always remove the
sockets from the holder before use. For SAFETY reasons the
rubber holders are purposely designed to tear off if pulled so that the
connectors will ALWAYS separate in a straight line in an emergency.
Mounting the main control hub in a tank bag, using one of the
optional two part bike power leads with in-line connectors, (E) the
riders lead will easily reach directly from the hub in the tank-bag to
the rider’s headset, without needing to use an optional headset
extension lead. The passenger’s headset will connect via an optional
straight or coiled extension lead directly to the main hub’s passenger
lead, with it just hanging out of the tank bag. Or you may prefer to
use an optional long straight headset extension lead that connects to
the hubs passengers lead (hanging just outside of the front of the tank
bag, near the headstock, next to the power lead connector) which runs
under the bikes tank and seat and then exits by the rear of the seat
(near to the grab handle where fitted) so that the passenger can use
an optional straight or coiled headset lead to connect from their
helmet to their on-bike socket. Please ask your dealer about optional
headset extension leads and various two part power leads that are
available if required.
When you have checked and concluded where you want to mount the main control hub, including
running both headset leads, power lead and any audio leads etc, you can now connect the power lead
to the bike and test/move if required before finally using some Velcro and tie-wraps to fix in place.
Top Tips (3)
Where you route the cables along the frame of the bike etc, secure them as required using tie wraps.
Care should be taken to ensure that the cables cannot fall into the chain, wheel or foul the steering
etc, or be trapped or crushed by the seat or body panels. If required use some hard packing strips
either side of the cables to prevent damaging the cables at pressure points such as where the cables
come from under the seat between the tank and body panels etc, if required bond the packing strips
in place but only after you are sure of the final location. Avoid any sharp angles or edges, which may
damage or cut the cables.
Pay particular attention to the seat locking mechanism, which, if fouled could cause problems with
removing the seat. When using tie wraps please be careful not to over tighten them, taking extra
care to avoid brake-lines, breathers, overflow pipes etc. and when you cut the surplus off any tie
wraps remember to cut it short and square so that it reduces any sharp edges that may scratch you
when servicing or washing the bike.

CONNECTING THE OPTIONAL POWER LEAD TO THE BIKE
WARNING; extreme caution must be used when working with bike batteries, due to the very high
current capacity of the battery, which if shorted; between the battery terminals, or between the battery
positive terminal and ground (the bike frame etc.) there is a very high risk burns, fire or explosion.
Please check your bikes instruction manual before working on the battery.
Always connect the BLACK (negative) wire directly to the battery negative terminal using the crimped
eyelet supplied, as this is the best earth on the bike. Not using the battery earth/NEGATIVE is the
most likely cause for electrical interference issues.
Connect the RED (Positive) wire to a recommended, switched ignition fused supply (5 amps
maximum, unless you fit an additional in-line fuse of between 3 and 5 amps). Ask your bike supplier if
they know of any recommended accessory power points on the bike, or consult your bikes handbook,
but only use this for the positive supply.
Typical places to find an ignition switched fused supply are the positive feed to the tail lights,
or rear brake light switch. Ask your bike dealer if you are not completely sure. Please note that you
can split the red and black power cable as required and cut them to length but don’t do this until you
make the final installation/connection, remember that you may need to move the system to a better
location to avoid electrical noise after testing, or perhaps someday onto another bike, so leave plenty
of spare power lead neatly coiled up and secured with a tie-wrap so that it can never fall onto the
exhaust or back wheel/chain etc. Do not connect to the brake light circuit if your bike has ABS braking
and/or a brake light failure warning system (consult your bike supplier/ manufacturer for approval
before connecting to any ABS brake light circuit or bikes that have CANbus). If connection to the brake
light supply circuit or rear tail light is not recommended, please use some other recommended
fused/ignition switched 12 volt supply. Always solder the positive joint wherever possible as this
provides a more professional and reliable connection. Do not use quick connectors like scotch-
locks etc. These are nearly always unreliable and most bike manufacturers condemn their
use, which may also affect the bikes warranty. You will notice the supplied fitting kit includes items
which will assist in installation e.g. tie wraps, insulation amalgamating tape to cover the soldered
positive joint, (again don’t use this for the pre-install test) a crimp type eyelet for connection to battery
negative terminal, Velcro to fix the control box and if required also speakers into helmet. For added
safety and protection the system has reverse polarity protection, which means that it reduces the risk
of damage if you accidentally wire the power lead the wrong way around, however, the hub will not
function unless wired correctly. The system also has short circuit and thermal overload protection,
which means the hub will automatically shut down in the event of being overloaded e.g. incorrect
transceiver used or improper connections.
Ask your dealer about optional Part 2437 which can help solve problems if you suffer from
electrical noise.
