    Tip: Before you strip the wire there is a strip marker on the side of the wago connector. Line the wire up with that and stip to that length. Just so you don't have bare wire sticking out the end.

      I’ve connected my spot lights direct to the TB but would like to install a separate switch to enable me to turn on and off, any ideas about the wiring?

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  3 роки тому +1

      You could connect the ignition wire (white one) and have a switch on that circuit. But that would then switch off everything connected to the TB. Otherwise a switch between the Spotlights and the connection to the TB would do the trick. Of course depending on the draw of your spotlights, you might want to think about putting a relay in there.

      It's brilliant! I've just transplanted it to the CB1000R and it made the heated grips and USB socket install an absolute doddle. Will be using it also for the SW-Motech LED spots coming soon. So easy to get the ignition feed and I haven't had to damage a single wire on my bike!

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  2 роки тому

      You mean the black wire? The ground? It’s possible i might have connected them to a point on the frame. One way or another, you need the ground to make the accessory work. But often you can ground on to the frame and that itself is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

      @mattmutane5502 4 роки тому

      @@AndyManCam My laziness is why the loom is installed (direct to the battery) but the grips are not (will do that VERY soon). I've got the "official" Yamaha grips which auto-detect the bike switching off and turn themselves off, but I like this better, "enforced shutdown"! ;) :) I don't think it's advisable to splice a heating element into an ignition circuit, which wasn't designed to take that kind of current...(which is why they are designed to connect direct to the battery) :)

    Hey Andy,
    Honestly Thank You for posting this video👍. I haven’t heard of this option before. What a fantastic device to control multiple devices. Hopefully after this virus has finally passed I was intending in getting a couple of adventure bikes. I was wondering how I’d go about wiring heated grips, chargers, accessories without having to piggyback connections or splice into wiring for a power supply and try and keep it all to a minimum and tidy.
    This is a god sent for motorcycle wiring 👍.
    Awesome!
    So easy to install as well and factory set...amazing 😀. I’ll definitely be looking into the availability of this device when the time comes.

    Interesting, I have a Innov powerhub (V1) on my FZ1 it needs a switched live which I connected to the number plate light using a posi-lock. It has a 5-10 second delay so even if the ignition's on you can use full battery power to crank the bike. I'm surprised it took this long for a company to bring out one of these without the need of a switched live considering heated grips and other accessories which can detect a bike not running existing for a while now.
    BTW if you use an SAE tender cable you can use Optimate's USB adapter which auto shuts off if the battery hits 12.5V without any ignition being on (SAE cable is connected direct to the battery)

    Hi Andy, love your channel. As a new rider I just got myself a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Been thinking about how I could hook up my gps and the Scottoiler to the battery without interfering with any original cables. When I stumbled over this video I knew I had to get the Thunderbox. Waiting on my TB-U02, which is a nightmare to get. Hope it arrives in the following week. Now to my question. Do you know if the Thunderbox still works when using a Connector, like a Ctek Comfort connector as a possibility to switch between using the thunderbox an hooking the battery up to a charger… Thanks.
