Kawasaki Z900 DC Power Outlet installation DIY (2020)

[@tanmaypatil2478]

Really like your DIY videos and please keep posting more such videos

[@SoloMCRider]

Thank you 🙏

[@1jodlar]

I wonder,if would now fit the bigger windshield.

[@SoloMCRider]

I know it’s strange but I love the look of the stock screen and it’s not bad at all on the highway speed at 80-85 mph so I think I will not add taller screen. :)

[@1jodlar]

@@SoloMCRider I am getting it for sure,but don't know if the Power outlet will be in the way.

[@SoloMCRider]

Nice 👍 let me know how you like it. I don’t think power outlet will interfere with the screen, Outlet is on top of handlebar and screen should be little far forward but you let me know when you do install it. Thank you mate !

[@GregoryHouseMD1]

What is the part number for this ?

[@Privlegd_Em1]

I wonder how it would fit with a taller windscreen for touring

[@SoloMCRider]

If I start touring I might get one! Bike as is not bad at all for 70-80 mph on a normal day !

[@883xhlHD]

Will you be able to put on a taller screen wanted it hit the DC power?

[@ambydupuis]

Thank you for the video. Is the power socket always live or is it switched with the contact key? I rephrase: do you have power when the bike is switched off, or do you need to turn ignition on to have power on the accessories plug?

[@SoloMCRider]

Yes power comes on with the ignition turned on and it’s off when bike is off , remember this is connected to Accessory plug not to the battery directly. Thank you 😊

[@AndyMontes]

I had to buy a relay when doing this on a Ninja 400, is the same case here or not?

[@SoloMCRider]

No it didn’t require relay for for Z900 !

[@Ktimerrr]

Can you help me? Can you Show me what srew is at the Position left from the K of the Kawasaki? Is this a normal screw? Or is there s Special Spacer under? I cant See it in the Part List, can you Show me?

[@philcrazyclip]

very well done video - thanks a lot!

[@Drone255]

Do you know if the z650 has those accessory cables as well?

[@enriquebarajas9891]

Do you have a link for where you purchased?

[@SoloMCRider]

I bought it from Kawasaki USA store, sorry don’t have a link

[@silverrambo1508]

4:00 There is one more cable with blue/fiolet ending. Any idea what is purpose for?

[@davidure9]

ground cables in a blue plastic cap

[@woodworking4459]

Did you try to replace the spark plug?

[@SoloMCRider]

No mate, I don’t change the spark plugs!

[@pjgoblin3435]

Great vid nice and simple...👍

[@SoloMCRider]

Thank you 🙏

[@akalatengo1]

I'm surprised to see a cigarette lighter socket, is the a kawasaki accessory with USB instead? I know I can buy an adapter but they come off on road bumps and unstable so much prefer usb over cigarette lighter style. Also, did you find in your research a non kawasaki usb that comes with kawasaki bracket? I know I can get a much cheaper usb socket but that kawasaki bracket is priceless. Thanks for video

[@SoloMCRider]

I wanted the usb hub charging port from the Kawasaki, same price but don’t come with the bracket and usb one for accessory port under the seat that is why I went with the cigarette lighter socket. Kawasaki should have brackets for both!

[@akalatengo1]

Thanks for replying, not sure which one to buy, any chance to take a picture of the connectors under the seat? I couldn't see those wires, if you are busy I will understand you have been a great help anyway. Thanks ✌

[@SoloMCRider]

@@akalatengo1 you are welcome! I will take a picture sometime tomorrow and show you the location!

[@KARTIM_OU]

Have anybody installed it to 2022 SE version ? Website says it does not fit.

[@SoloMCRider]

You can always buy one try to see if it fits if not return it. I have a feeling it will fit because bike is unchanged on the front end I believe. Product page probably didn’t update yet. Just giving you an idea lol don’t quote me on it if don’t work. I’m telling you what I would do lol 😂 Good luck 👍

[@renzalmadrones5704]

thanks/well done

[@lovelessissimo]

98 dollars?!?! They wanted 70 dollars for the in dash plug for my Ninja. I bought a 15 dollar version on Amazon and it not only charges, but also has a voltmeter built in.

[@SoloMCRider]

Yes I should have go with the Amazon version, way cheaper and 2 USB ports, only reason I got this for the bracket ! Not a smart decision

[@joeydisciorio8306]

Which bolts exactly do the bolts with the red thread lock replace? Can't figure this out as they are much shorter than every bolt removed for this install...

[@SoloMCRider]

I couldn’t figure it out so I didn’t use them , I didn’t fine any use for them. Go ahead and install without them.

[@joeydisciorio8306]

@@SoloMCRider Haha thank you this is the answer I was looking for. Same here.

[@1jodlar]

Hey. You can make video,how to conect to kawa rideology app. I would like to know how to conect...with witch button to select and conect. Maybe i'll get my bike next week,so i need it ASAP. ;)

[@SoloMCRider]

Lol I will make a video ASAP!! Good luck with the bike and congratulations 🎉🎊

[@SoloMCRider]

Silvo Lokanc made the just for you lol , hope it’s helps you!

[@RichardPapabarneybear5001]

you can buy it on line from Amazon $12.89 For outlet and Accessory for Motorcycles on line. $24.99 total. People do your homework & search the web & you will find everything you need at 1/3 D or 25% of the cost.

[@SoloMCRider]

I agree with you! I did my fair share of research on usb and DC outlets and you are right about the price! I just wanted to see why Kawasaki charge $100 for it , so I made a video so you guys don’t have to spend the money for Kawasaki one. I m sure I mentioned on the video. Thank you for your feedback.

[@SKGSystemsInc]

Great!!

[@marco85life]

Somebody who knows the rear connection under or near the seat? I am searching for it and can't find it

[@Replayeble]

Im looking for the same thing, the front accessoire plug is allready in use for my grip warmers, i want to add a usb port.

[@marco85life]

@@Replayeble I have found a port for Accessoire right to the rear seat. For this you need to uncover the rear seat, the cover of the tail and on the right side you can find it under the tail. There is a transparent rubber grommet with a 2 pin "Sumitomo" cable plug. This is 12V ignition switched - perfect for an usb box✌🏻

[@jeanmarchand413]

great vids thanks, where do you find this outlet?

[@SoloMCRider]

Kawasaki.com Thank you

[@aldocafagna1385]

Salve è possibile il link del prodotto?

[@SoloMCRider]

Hi, link in the description of the video! Thank you

[@olafandvarafors8864]

what about dc socket for z650?

[@SoloMCRider]

I doubt it, this bracket is made for z900

[@Uliqmydiq]

Hey brother where did you get those levers

[@SoloMCRider]

From eBay, Here is the link bro: www.ebay.com/itm/163702303636 Thank you

[@alfianajikrisnamukti5852]

Did you pre-install the relay?

[@SoloMCRider]

2020 z900 has built in accessories plug, so I don't think it requires relay, all I did is connected DC power outlet per instructions and it works!

[@aldocafagna1385]

Buongiorno il filo con tubo verde a cosa corrisponde più o meno?

[@SoloMCRider]

Hello mate, I know you are asking a question, can you please ask in English hope I can answer! Thank you 🙏

[@Pentaw1nz0r]

On my z900 the adapters are too small to fit the USB charger. Anyone know which one is needed ?

[@mintaj3015]

mine as well. did you figure it out ?

[@maxepta]

this thing is huuuuge :/ and the mounting is pretty dump when you want to charge a phone which is on the other side of the handle bar... (not blaming you, but Kawasaki)

[@SoloMCRider]

To be honest with you, I haven’t tried it yet not even once. Just have it for emergencies if I m far from home and need phone for GPS lol. Thank you

[@SeipherTown]

@@SoloMCRider Have you needed it 1 time yet? If so, what for?

[@SoloMCRider]

@@SeipherTown yes I have been using it very often now days, I’m so glad that I installed it , you know iPhone battery life is not that great.
