Hi!

A few weeks ago I purchased a mighty fine XT660Z (ABS) 2014 with only 4700Km on it. (1 elderly owner)

LINK TO PIC

The bike had a CTEK connect port installed so I had to purchase a charger to fit.

I have added heated grips and bar protectors.

I have also ordered a dual USB port, shorter 2-finger break/clutch levers and a pair of LED extralights and an X-grip for the phone.
Bar raisers are also installed for a bit comfier ride and I got a pair of 2nd hand SW-motech EVO pedals that has a nice large platform to stand on, but they do come out further from the frame making my feet stance wider.

Now to the electronics...

I want all extras to be off when i turn off key so I will install a relay for the heated grips and most likely an extra relay for the LED-lights as well.


The power for the heated grips and LED-lights will come from the screw terminal on the front left side of the tank.

The controller feed for the heated grips relay will be from the extra connector in the dash.

USB will be powered from the extra connector in dash.

The LED-lights will use the main beam as controller so they turn on/off simultaneously as main beam only



Question - is main beam relay powerful enough for a 55W H7 and 2pcs LED-lights? they are stated 125W so ~10-11W

Or can I replace this relay with something more powerful?

I mounted 1 of the relays in the left fairing (where the indicator is mounted) this is a 2 part plastic thingy with lots of air in it. The relay is directly connected to the 30A screw mount below the tank and I must say this works great. The controller for the relay is the main light so when I turn it on I clearly hear the new relay kicking in. The output will be my LED lights that are on its way...in case you are curious I made sure there is long enough wires so the fairing can be removed and dismantled.

So the next thing to wire up is the heated grips. It will be controlled by a relay as well so I do not forget to turn it off... This relay will be on the right side and the controller will be the spare connector in the dash.... And this connector will also provide power to the dual USB port to be mounted.

For a few hours work I'm really pleased with the outcome.

I'll upload a picture tomorrow...

Here is a PICTURE from the installation.

The relay is mounted with hot glue and a zip tie in the inner part of the left fairing.


Here is a PICTURE comparing the stock pegs with the SW-motech EVO that I found 2nd hand.

Nice looking bike. I haven't seen the black boxes before.

I am interested to see how your LED upgrade goes... I found on my other bike the H4 LED scattered the light alot and wasn't as good as it should have been. The Tenere lights are not the best and I have mounted an AdvMonster 5 LED light bar. Now on highbeam I have daylight

I will let you know as soon as I get them. The relay is mounted and I'm fabricating a mount for them.

Moving on as new items ends up in my mailbox.

AIS

I used some duct tape to try to block the "banger-hole" in the airbox.
If I got it right I will use something more permanent like a bolt or something.


USB-CHARGING PORT

The USB arrived and I made a hole with a drillbit and a dremel on the right side fairing.

It is quite deep, here is what it looks like on the INSIDE


Next to the USB-ports is another relay mounted that actually will be connected to both the heated grips and the USB port. The controller for the relay is the extra powerplug in the dashboard.

This way the power for USB and heated grips turns off when I turn of ignition so I cannot forget the heated grips and drain the battery.

FINISHED ASSEMBLY

This is what it looks like when the relay is in place, lengthy wires is to allow removing of fairing without disconnecting all wires.


Waiting for some LED,s and X-grip for my phone.

Very nice & clean work!

New 2-finger levers arrived today. A direct replacement with stock Brake and Clutch levers as the stock ones are too long to fit with hand guards on.
Now I can position them properly without levers hitting the inside of plastic protector and the protectors can now be turned a bit more up to block some air.

It doesn't appear to be much but it makes a huge difference when mounted.

HERE is a link to Aliexpress

And today I got a deal on a 2nd hand Touratech luggage rack.

Here is a link to Touratechs Luggage Rack

I got it for �50 with a few scuffs on it, but hey its been used for what it's designed for ,who cares

Nice work there.
Good idea to run the USB port/s off a relay. I had a USB port on my previous Tenere connected directly to the battery and the battery went down when not using the bike for a while.
I have another Tenere now since migrating to Australia but have been reluctant to fit the USB port which I brought along. Now I know how to fit it, thanks!
