HONDA NC750X £3.99 Battery Saver!! INSTALING A 12V RELAY

In this video I'll show you how I protect my Bikes battery .
Sometimes Accessories can drain you're bikes battery over time.
Fitting a 12v relay ensures everything is disconnected when you turn off you're bike.
Hope this is of some help to someone.
Thanks for watching

I'm not an electrician, I don't play one on TV, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so I'm going with a HealTech Thunderbox instead. It's basically a much more plug-n-play accessory controller version of what you did, but it also costs a lot more than 4 pounds. It does include everything but the "stretchy tape," which we call "electrical tape" on the other side of the pond. Worth a look for those who don't want to reinvent the wheel. That being said, it looks like you did a wonderful job for a fraction of the cost. 👍👍 (That's 2 thumbs up!)

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate your watching 👍

[@mikec9162]

Yes. The smart relay technology is migrating it's way to mainstream. In a few short years the current switch power relays will be a thing of the past.

[@MichalJuul]

I have the HealTech Thunderbox on my V-Strom 650 And it is the best thing I have ever bought for my MC I am so happy about it

[@Richie65afc]

Really helpful video of how to add accessories via a relay. Very well explained. Thank you.

[@Crohniebiker]

@Richie65afc thanks for watching I really appreciate it 👍

[@glennmiller1330]

Hey nice video, the original connectors is a Sumitomo HV HVG 040 O2 male or female, which I invented before I got my new NC 750x DCT in April. This bike has actually given me back the pleasure of riding. After 10,000 km I can say it is a great bike. I am very happy with it. Greetings from the Netherlands I am a flying Dutchman on the DCT.

[@Crohniebiker]

Thanks for your comments I appreciate it 👍 I'm planning to tour the Netherlands next year looking forward to visiting your country 👍

[@clivehale397]

Well done brilliant I love the nc it's good to see someone who also loves it 😊

[@Crohniebiker]

Thanks for watching, I find that most people who have tried one end up loving their bikes 🏍

[@stephenheaton8205]

I have a 2017 nc750x and fitted auxiliary loom (Honda part) under bottom of nearside frunk,plus a relay and fuse also from Honda, has 3 outputs I use for heated grips, sat nav and usb

[@Crohniebiker]

Thanks for the comments. I bet the honda loom was much easier to fit too 👍

[@stephenheaton8205]

@@Crohniebiker thanks yes really easy once access gained to under frunk then relay and fuse straightforward push fit in fusebox, got a genuine fog light switch too that goes in blank plate under dash and wired up Givi lamps through that for a neat solution

[@Almond001]

Just watching this at the moment. I ended up buying a thunderbox, great bit of kit but a bit more expensive. I've yet to sort out the ability to use an electric tyre pump but I know that the fuse will blow in the loom on the bike.

[@reinmansmith]

Nice neat job, very handy 👍

[@Crohniebiker]

Thank you, I appreciate it. See you around 👍

You are good at this kind of work. Well done. Maybe some day when i finaly get this bike for me i will do the same relay as you do. Thanks :)

[@Crohniebiker]

Thank you I appreciate your comments 🙏

Great instruction video! Very helpful!

[@manuelpordomingolopez319]

Really interesting video and well done. Muchas gracias!

[@colinbarber9324]

Rather than running wires all over, I carry power packs in the frunk, I have 1 USB on the dash if the phone requires charging up. I do have relays on the aux lights and heated grips. I’ve haven’t used a garmin or Tom Tom in years. But if that’s what you like, fair enough

[@Crohniebiker]

Thanks for watching, I also carry 2 power packs when I go touring for a couple of weeks, it's really convenient for charging them from the bike 👍

[@MohammedQasim-t1p]

Ok. Thankyou for your reply.

[@dctdave.buttybach]

You made it look & sound so simple but I have one question, I may have missed it, what size fuse did you use for the main feed to the relay from the battery? 🤔 Excellent video in my opinion as I’m not good with electronics and it all looked very professional, I may even give it a go on my NC 👌🏻

[@Crohniebiker]

I put in a 7.5A fuse at the moment, The heated grips will take nearly 5A but the usb will be quite low I think. Maybe when I fit some auxiliary lights I will put in a 10A fuse but everything is working brilliant at the moment. Thank you for your comments and for watching 👍

[@dctdave.buttybach]

@@Crohniebiker Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question Crohnie, I will be doing the same thing to my NC as you have 👍🏻 it will probably take me a lot longer to do though! I have another question for you, the Tom Tom Mount you have fitted is it sturdy with the weight of the unit fitted in place? Some are very wobbly with the vibration from the bike’s suspension! Regards, Dave

[@Crohniebiker]

@dctdave.buttybach yes the Tom Tom is fixed really well ,I have no worries about it at all . I plan on doing another video showing how I fitted it soon .👍

[@dctdave.buttybach]

@@Crohniebiker Ah that’s great as I’ve got a different one and tried it and found it was rubbish 👍🏻 Thanks

[@Richie65afc]

Just a little question as I am a newby to this. The connector that goes into pin 30 from the battery, should this be a yellow connector instead of a blue one, as it is a 2.5mm cable? Many thanks

[@Crohniebiker]

@Richie65afc it depends on your cable size. Just use the crimp end that fits best into your cable so that you get a secure fit, the colours only represent different cable sizes. Hope this helps.

[@Richie65afc]

​@@CrohniebikerI think I read that the red ones were 10 amp, blue 15 and yellow 30 amp. If I fit the blue one to a 30 amp circuit, I am thinking that could cause a problem if all accessories are turned on at the same time over loading the blue connector.

[@Crohniebiker]

@Richie65afc that is a possibility but you would have a lot of things plugged in to exceed 30 amps, rule of thumb always go with thicker cables and crimp terminals if you think you may use lots of accessories.

[@mwve5728]

Hi, do you also use the accessory harnas that you can activate in the fusebox with an extra relais? If so, is the relais you are installing necessary?

[@Crohniebiker]

No the only reason I installed my own relay was because I don't want to overload the bikes harness with all my accessories. Hope this helps

[@mwve5728]

@@Crohniebiker Thanks, that’s what I thought. My dad just bought a NC750 and he’s thinking about installing some extra options, so now we are looking for the easiest and safest way to do so. Thanks for the vid and reply.

[@MohammedQasim-t1p]

Great video. Just a quick question. I also have a on/off switch with my auxiliary lights which has 3 wires (white, blue and blank) Any idea which terminals they go to on the relay? TIA

Is it any good Paul? I've got to book my ADV350 in for service in a couple of weeks, I might see if they have a test ride available then 👍

[@1zanglang]

Should have searched and buy an original plug for that connector, or at least, a pin soldered to the wire to the relay and plugged to the pin of the red wire inside the connector. And all could be protected with heat shrink tubing. The moment you cut and striped that red wire, your bike electrical installation warranty was gone down the drain. Congrats for that... If I were you, I would have never touched the bike wiring. Instead, I would have simply put a switch on the wire you connected to battery and connected it with the two USB chargers. Also, I would have used a USB cable to supply power to GPS receiver.
