I just installed a fused relay to power my Zumo. I used the rear seat DIN as the switched circuit so it comes on with the ignition. The USB under the seat is only activated once engine is running so I might put a relay in there if I have more power-hungry accessories. This is a much cheaper option and just as simple. Keep the videos coming. We're all learning what to do with our new Tigers!
I fitted the 32 amp version to my Tiger 900. Garmin, cameras and running lights on one block, added a connection for heated jacket liner and socks to the other block today. Great bit of kit which saves delving into your wiring loom whilst giving circuit protection and no extra load on startup.
Nice. I couldn't get the 32 amp one anywhere when I was looking but decided that the 1200 had just about every bell and whistle anyhow so there would not be the need for the 32.
Thank you for this, Alan. My new Garmin is on the way, and being a visual sort, your video will help when the time comes to install my T-box. Also, I will be interested to learn how your double-sided tape mounting holds up in the engine heat, etc..
Thanks a lot. I'm pretty sure that one of my other videos covers the wiring. I have wired up a few things from the front to the back now and I pretty much just push the wires through on the right side of the bike with a plastic wire pusher that you can get very cheaply from just about any hardware store. It beats taking the plastic panels off.
I fitted one to my Tiger a couple of weeks ago. If you fit the supplied white cable, the devices will turn on with the ignition. But the default is nice because you're getting full battery power for starting, but is definitely a little slow to invoke. I usually start the bike and then climb aboard. By the time I'm ready to put my gloves on, it's usually up and running (Zumo and quad-lock)
Did you happen to fit the white wire to yours? About to do this task on my Tiger 900 in the next week or so and can’t decide if I wanna screw around with the white wire or if it’s just super easy!
It can vary on start up time I think it depends on amps/volts in battery but what I decided I switch my navigation on so it’s ready to go when I am but when I switch off it powers down so works well. But if you start up bike and ready to go if your not sure of the area you may need to stop and wait for navigation to catch up. Great video for fitting
You could connect it to the front socket right? When you start the bike. Voltage will jump and activate the thunderbox. Then drop when you turn the bike off and shut it down.
I'm not too sure about that. They do say to connect to the battery. With modern bikes the ECU can easily get confused if you do things like that and that is why you would install the Thunderbox in the first place.
Thanks Alan, very helpful video. I’ve just taken delivery of a TBox for the same purpose and I’m still deliberating whether to connect the white wire. I’d also be interested to hear your experience with the Wago connectors. I was planning to use terminal crimps on the wire ends to provide a bit more mechanical strength but I’m still a little concerned about how weather proof these will turn out to be.
Thanks mate. I though I read somewhere that you could put some sort of gel or grease in the connector. Maybe some silicone. I was also just thinking of soldering the wire end to give it a more snug fit.
@@ADV-Rider-Dude Yes, I'm thinking that way too. I got a ferrule crimper to finish off the wire ends - similar to the Healtech made connection - and I'm thinking of using some liquid insulating rubber (EBay or Amazon) to seal the Wago connector. My Tiger arrives next week so getting things lined up to fit a Zumo and an Innovv K3.
I think that it's best to go to the supplier website.www.healtech-electronics.com/products/tb/ You can but direct from them or see where they have distributors in your country.
What does one do, if the wires from the GPS or GoPro/Cameras or other devices aren't long enough? Or are they all long enough... also, do you snip/cut the wire end connector of the device off, (like if it's a USB connector) then plug in the POS and NEG wires into the unit right?
Well in the case of the Zumo XT I actually extended the wiring as the power transformer thingy is way down the wire and I dis not want to try to thread it through the bike. There are no USB connections on the end of that wire. The result was that I had a lot of wire between the GPS plug and the transformer that I had to bundle up and hide away. All of that was able to fit into the hollw area where the front indicators are. Just watch out that you don't cut anything off that is stepping down the voltage from 12V to whatever the device needs
Hi. It's not really a problem. As you will see later in the video the light does go solid. The time differs a lot depending on the strength/charge of the battery, I think. Anyhow if it does take a little longer than I want then I just switch the Garmin on manually. You can always use the white wire if you want to make it faster

Just fitted mine (1200 Gt Pro) easy to do, fantastic bit of kit. Great vid btw.
Tried to give you another thumbs up. Just bought one and finishing fitment this week 🍻

great video, thanks! how did you run the cable from the GPS down to the thunderbox?

Thanks a lot mate - I noticed that the start up time seems to vary a bit.
Hello ! Thank you for your answer and best regards 👍

Hello, thanks for the advice! where to buy "Thunder Box".I am from abroad.Thank you again and best regards.

Thanx
Good day, I was wondering if you can post the part number for the TB you installed ?
What does one do, if the wires from the GPS or GoPro/Cameras or other devices aren't long enough? Or are they all long enough... also, do you snip/cut the wire end connector of the device off, (like if it's a USB connector) then plug in the POS and NEG wires into the unit right?

Hi from France, at 8.22 can you explain where the power supply problem was please? I have the same problem and it doesn't work....
Thanks a lot
Hi. It's not really a problem. As you will see later in the video the light does go solid. The time differs a lot depending on the strength/charge of the battery, I think.

@@ADV-Rider-Dude , Ok merci beaucoup 😉
