- This video shows how to install the DC/USB Charger electrical accessory into a Kawasaki Vulcan S.
Before installing this DC Charger, verify that you have installed the Kawasaki Electrical Relay to enable the Electrical Accessories setup.
Look for that video in my channel, it is quite easy to do.
Enjoy.
Hi, I'm a 67 year old guy, I'm on my 13th bike now, I downsized to a vulcan 650 now, I never saw step by step videos as good as yours an believe me I saw many of different brands of bikes. Really fantastic and with great explanation also, thank you very much for this, greetings from Belgium
I am glad you like the videos. I haven’t done one in a long time but hopefully Inwill do others soon.
Great, clear video. 2 years on and people like me are still viewing it. Thanks
Thanks. Helpful videos are always a success because they teach something.
Great video, thanks for.being very informative 👍
Glad it was helpful
Vengo desde VOCS y no puedo decir otra cosa que; FANTÁSTICO TRABAJO!!!! Y el hecho de que lo hayas hecho en ingles para ayudar a mas gente es un plus.
Muchas gracias por tu ayuda. Realmente ilustrativo el video.
Muchas gracias compañero. Ahora tengo menos tiempo para publicar vídeos pero algo caerá este año. Un abrazo.
Wow! Im about to connect a camera on mine! If i can get my power from the front, you just saved me a bunch of wiring!! Thanks!
This will help you tremendously. That is why I installed it. I connect my iPhone, and my GPS since I purchased a Two USB port adaptor. But beware that you need the Kawasaki relay to power on all the accessories like this one. I have another video installing the relay, it is a peace of cake.
Just by curiosity, why do you have an extra gear selector display (with the red numbers)? 🤔 Doesn't your bike have which gear is selected in the main cluster?
Hello. Thanks for the pointer. I thought I had one as well. However, it seems like for models 2016 and older, the gear indicator did not come with it. Actually, the Kawasaki extra gear indicator is quite expensive. So I decided to search for a OEM one and I found one in Amazon for 35€.
Thanks from Spain, done thanks to you.
have you used relay kit for this?
What year are you installing this usb charger on? Mine is a 2018 and the usb mount does not have that mounting bolt
Thank you for detailed video. It will be very helpfull for me🤘
Thank you for a great video! This helps a lot!
Thanks. I am glad it Eneas useful.
Does every Vulcan s have that spare +- cables there to plug the dc charger to them?
Which spare cable do you mean? The Vulcan S has 3 +- connectors to connect extra electrical devices. There’s an extra one underneath the seat.
@@nathangarciamuro I'm talking about this one you used for DC under your tacho.
Hello. Tell me where I can buy these. Thank you
Hello I bought them at the kawasaki store in the web. You ca also go to a Kawasaki dealer to get it. I guess you can also look for them in Amazon or Aliexpress for a cheaper price.
Thank you Nathanael Garcia it's great video for me
What's the point of the relay? There are plenty of wires by the handlebars you can tap in to for the USB power.
There are 3 pairs of wires you can tap in for the USB connector. Look at the video, I mentioned you can connect the USB power one of the 3 pairs.
Al tener la moto apagada, parece que el conector de corriente da una luz ambar. ¿Está gastando corriente sin tener el contacto puesto?
Instalaste el relé? Sin relé no se corta la corriente
Really great video!!
Thanks for the comment and I am glad it is useful.
Great video helped me a lot.
nice job, one question, do you have relay preinstalled ?
I am glad it helped you out. I had to install the relay previously. I posted a video on how to do that installation.
@@nathangarciamuro thank you, i need to do that to than, helpfull video, check out mu channel :) have good day!
These wires do NOT have power going to them. You need to purchase and install a relay first. Just find a wire going to the ignition or headlights. It will be much simpler.
Thanks for the tip. I have other video showing how to install the Relay to provide power to those wires.
Wow, I had to recheck the date. The video [camera] looks like it was made in the 1970's. Thanks for trying.
MrEye4get I don’t understand your comment. 1970s??? It might not look so good (the video editing) but as long as it is useful and people can see how is done step by step then I am happy
People like me come here looking for a tutorial. I don't expect clear 4k high def video as long as it's good enough to understand and see what he is doing. I find this tutorial very good and dummy proof because he went straight to the point step by step with no video cutting & editing.
Seng Vue thanks for the comment my friend. I am glad you found it useful, that’s the goal of my videos.
step 4 non funziona.....
Probably you got the wrong cables. There are 3 pairs of cables you can use. The pair I used came straight from the main connector shown in the video. The other thing is that you have to turn the battery on (with the key) to provide power. The other thing you can check is how use the DC voltmeter, I have it in lower scale (sensitive) so I can detect the voltage. But the most important thing is before you install the DC Charger/plug you need to install the DC Relay which I have shown in another video. Hopefully it helps.
