Torx T45 wrench (MY2015+) or 5mm allen key (MY2013-2014) to remove the seat.He shows how he built a splitter and USB outlet into the plastic tank bin.Patrick Truchon wrote up his 12V port enhancement: The SAE connector is more common for third party accessories and can be easily adapted to other plugs (such as coaxial for heated gear) very easily. SAE Connector 2014+ models also include a standard SAE connector in the same area on the same circuit and fuse. Zero's 12v accessories will plug directly into the Sumitomo connector.Įastern Beaver makes motorcycle 12V circuitry parts including Sumimoto connectors: S model connectors in the forward tank area Sumitomo Connector All 2013+ models have a Sumitomo power connector which is weather sealed. The impact on the battery is greater if making a very long, slow use of the battery (say, under 35mph for at least 4 hours). For reference, a heated jacket at full power will typically draw 90W, greater than the stock headlamp at 60W. Even at the maximum 140 watt output over 2 hours of straight riding, the 12v accessories would use 0.28 kWh of the total capacity of the battery, which for a ride under 2 hours is about 2-2.5% of the total power available. Powertrain Impact The wattage pulled by the accessory power has a negligible, almost immeasurable affect on range. Some owners have used increased size fuses such as 12.5 or 15 amp for even more accessory power. 2015+ models offer up to 500W but that excess is mostly required for the ABS pump.

The circuit altogether provides 300W total to 2013-2014 models. It operates at a very consistent 14 volts, which provides up to 140W (10A) of power available on the accessory circuit.

12V Circuit The 12v system on a Zero is very fault tolerant. Both plugs are fed power from the same 10-amp circuit. They can be accessed by hand without removing plastics but are easier with plastics removed.
