Installing a USB/12V Outlet - 2018 Ninja 400

Here's a quick look at how to install a 12V Outlet or USB Charge point in the stock front location of the new 2018 Ninja 400. Kawasaki has pre-wired the bike for this so most of it is a Plug-N-Play affair. This includes installing the OEM relay kit and an aftermarket outlet. I'll also show you where the accessory wiring for a rear outlet is located.

In Malaysia, the usb charger outlet is included together when you buy the bike. We also get frame slider, smoked windshield, single seat and radiator cover included by Kawasaki.

I literally just wired mine up now because of this video! Thank you a hell of a lot. First time I've ever tackled any wiring too!

Good video. Just installed the relay and the outlet on my 2023 Ninja 400KRT. I used the Kawasaki OEM parts, overpriced, but I wanted to make sure they would fit. The instructions that came with the parts said to remove the fairing. I didn't, and followed your video. It would have been easier to reach the parts and wires without the fairing, but I wouldn't have saved any time since the fairing takes time to remove. I was able to reach the screw that holds the plastic plug in the hole by laying on my back and using a long screwdriver to reach up from below. Had to really push on the relay when connecting it to the plastic wiring block connector to get it to seat. Took me about an hour and a half; could do it in 30 minutes now that I know. Thanks for the video.

Finally a video that shows what I need it to show and fully explains what to do!! Happy I ran across this!

[MoniJohnson]

Thanks for showing both sets of bullet connectors. I had no idea the second set was in the back.

Thanks for tutorial. It’s so easy you would think they would have just included it on the bike from factory. 🤙

This is awesome, going to do this next weekend on my 2021

[Hoss]

Great video. Actually explained every step thank you.

[MRziyTV]

Thanks man...really help. I'm riding the 250 ninja, there's a socket and extra wire same as the 400 ninja. Hope to get the voltage reader soon ☺️

[kayakexcursions]

That relay should be stock! Oh well, ill order that kit when I get my chain adjuster cap.

[Matt-man]

Thank you this was helpful and I got it done.

[daninthepan]

Thanks, really useful. Was about to start stripping the fairing til I saw this.

[qualityinnsuiteschoicehote]

Can I just connect it to the battery directly?

[ensjesse]

It's sad the relay is more than the socket. Love the voltage meter in there. I ordered one to match my candy red.

[MoJazzy]

Thanks much! Just did the install and it works just fine.

Where did you get the connections from the usb charger to the relay that you made?
