USB Charger install for a motorcycle, Royal Enfield Himalayan

Getting ready to head out on the TAT I wanted a way to charge my phone so I can follow my GPS coordinates. I installed it on a 2018 Royal Enfield Himalayan

Iam also a proud owner of the R.E.Himalayan in India(Mumbai).Instead of going through the rigmarole of connecting the USB charger to the Battery and thereby putting a load on it.Better to connect any and all accessories(Charger, Auxiliary Lights, dual Horns, GPS unit, LED flickering indicators etc to the ignition switch without snipping any original wiring and just adding the accessory wire to the ignition socket and have an on/off switch on the handle bar which is much better.Also to enhance the handling, install the R.E.Sleet aluminium handlebar with rubberized barends and the handling becomes butter smooth and for performance add Motul4T, 15W/50.300V engine oil.(change reqd every 10k kms.

Love the woodpecker in the background.

Of course it's staying on when you take the juice directly of the battery. What a surprise !
You have to put it of the positive or negative, depend ot the circuit, after contact to turn off when the contact is off.
For exemple to the light or everything else don't work when the contact is off and automatiquely work when the contact is on.

Nice. Can’t wait for the TAT videos. Hope I get my bike soon. Maybe we’ll meet up one day when I start touring all of New England. Keep up the good work.

I saw a video where a guy installed his usb unit connected to the tail light wiring on his RE Hym. Used some added wire length

I have a cbr650r would you recommend this. Thank you awesome vid. Subbed. O and what's the update on this, is it still a winner?

It is nice that it unplugs. I left a GPS on on my Tiger overnight and it drained the battery. You can use that SAE port for a battery tender and I think they have an SAE jumper set up. Be safe on the TAT. Looking forward to the video.

dude, that no beard looks it great. cant wait for the TAT videos! a small observation for the cable to power the USB charger, you shoul get those cables thru isolation or a electrical tape to protect them more from abrasion under the fuel tank! use a relay for powering the charger only when the ignition is on (even if the engine is not running but the key is turned in the contact to on)

Short and sweet video contains all that is needed. Some other videos are garbage by wannabees!

[samyabagchi]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you can help with putting an immobilizer or alarm system on the Himalayan?

Just subscribed today. Hat down to your editing skills. I like your videos a lot. Salutation from ROmania. By the way what is your height as I am looking to buy this little adventure bike for me as well. I am 1.84 m with 107 kg weight, and I am afraid I will be cramped on it. Thank you

[andrewwilson]

Thanks for posting, can you hook a battery tender up to that plug now?

When you disconnect the phone it quits charging because the port is not being used. DUH
