• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Switched 12v Power supply

There's another connector like this inside the headlight shell on the right side. Does anyone know what it's for and/or whether it is also 12v switched?

Just checked with my multimeter:
- right side connector is switched 12v
- headlight connector is switched 5v, likely for a GPS

Anyone else confirm this?

Assuming my Terra has the same wiring as the BMW F650 Sertao it ought to have somewhere a spare switched 12v supply that I can connect heated grips to.. ( I have bought the R&G ones as Husky UK cant supply any until June ).. To save me ripping the bike apart can anyone point me in the right direction to find it?

If not anyone else already fitted Heated grips can recommend a suitable location to connect them to ( I could do direct to the battery but just know I will forget..:lol:)

I have been waiting for the factory heated grips to appear (or at least for winter to appear here) before bothering with heated grip... and today I had a look at the price of the Grips as quoted in Euros on a website in Netherlands. 434 Euros ****************************************! When I compared the Euro price of the screen and handguards which I already have to $AU price I paid, there was a multiplier of 1.65. That makes the factory heated grips over $AU700. That is a huge wad of cash to fork out for grip heaters. I might ring a dealer and confirm this week if that really is correct. These might already be on the dealer parts lists in Australia because they are the same part number for heated grips on the Nuda 900. I understand that the grips are electronic, and have automatic controls. I presume they rely on the airbox temperature sensor to determine the ambient air temperature and then to turn the heat on when it reaches a threshold, and the lower the ambient temperature, the hotter the grips will get. I had been told that the heated grips install requires a MOSS connection, presumably to activate the functionality.

I have a similar set of grips which I have fitted on my DL1000. They have a temp sensor which will turn them on progressively when the temp drops below 15C. They only cost $AU275, and I thought that was a bit over the top considering those simple stick on heat pads which go on the bar under the grips only cost about 1/10th that price.

Did anyone ever source one of these plugs? I'm wanting to keep things clean and put a plug that fits that on one end of a cable and the other end a micro-usb so I can charge my cell phone.
 
I've actually been trying my best to find a source for this plug online. I was thinking along the same lines, using a proper connector to keep things neat. I can make the terminations, I just need the housing. Sadly, my Google-fu is weak on this one.
 
Easy peasy. If I recall correctly, iPhones don't use USB connectors (mini or micro) to charge. However, they do use USB power (5volts/1amps) to charge. So you'll need to find out which wire provides the 5v in a normal iPhone cable. For instance, in a USB cable, the 5v travels over the red wire. This is likely the case for the iPhone too, but Apple likes to make things complicated, so check.

Take an old iPhone cable and cut the end opposite the phone. All you need is the plug that goes into the phone, and a length of bare wire on the other end. You'll be using two of the wires. Normally they are red (voltage) and black (ground). Connect them to the proper pins in the 5v connector on the bike. Use a multimeter to test the pins so you know which goes where. I am pretty sure that 5v plug is switched already, so there is no reason to add an additional switch. With the ignition off, the plug should not provide power at all, thus keeping you from discharging your motorcycle battery.

That is the wiring portion. As for cleaning it up and making it look neat, that's up to you to do as you please. The connections should be housed in the headlight assembly, so they should be reasonably weatherproof. However, your iPhone plug on the handlebars will not be weatherproof. You'll need to take that into consideration. What happens when you are riding in the rain? Most GPS cables have a rubber cap for when the GPS isn't mounted. You'll need something to keep water out of that plug. I'm sure there is something aftermarket, but I don't do Apple so I don't know where to find it.
 
I just sacrificed an old USB to iPhone cable. Since USB is a standard, the wires are red, black, white and green. White and green are data, red is power, and black is ground or neutral. I am checking with my BMW parts guy for the matching plug but could also just modify the weather cap that is on the plug now, and wrap it in self sealing rubber tape. As to the other end, my intent is to keep the phone and connector in a ziplock bag. Will provide a picture when complete.
 
Alright then, I decided to forgo using a BMW connector in order to utilize the 5volt power in the headlight loom. I snipped off the connector, and stripped back the two wires. Tested them to identify the hot one. Attached the red from my iphone USB charging cable to the purple hot and black from the USB to the blue. Each was sealed with heat shrink tubing and here is the real trick, in order for the iPhone to properly charge, you must connect the two data wires together. Works great and now I can charge my phone while its in use on the bike.

I think this is the connector you are referring to:
TR650Terra010-1_zpsd04d0e49.jpg


The extra black wire is spliced into the hot lead and goes to my grip heaters. It is switched. Does anyone know where to get a connector that presumably goes into the capped plug?

That connector is listed on the schematic as X9220B, which is labeled "Pull up resistor fuel level". The Green/Blue wire goes to Fuse #7 which is 4A, and that Green/Blue wire also goes to "battery KL15C" on the ABS unit, and onto the "Position light" (small bulb in the headlight assembly in case the headlight burns out), and also powers the tail light.

The other wire to the connector in the picture is White/blue which goes to the fuel pump assembly connector on the top of the tank called "switched fuel reserve", and onto the dashboard labeled "Fuel reserve".

Apparently there is no resistor connected to the "Pull up resister fuel level" - it is in case that is needed. I hope.

Based on the information in this thread I clipped the connector in the picture above thinking it was the accessory connector X9349B, which should have gone to fuse #2, which is 15A.

So don't do what I did, leave the connector in the picture alone, unless you need a tiny amount of power for a low power accessory.

I had been guessing one plug was for the oem alarm and the other oem grip heaters but the voltages don't make sense to me. I am seeing voltage readings of ~5v at the headlight shell plug and ~2v at the undertank plug. Both are switched.

My multimeter is a cheapo harbor freight purchase but appears to function normally in other testing. Any thoughts?

not much of an electrican but I do know the OEM alarm wire is behind the seat and ziptied to the plastic rack

Hello,
i find the connector, look for Cartool 83300413585

Hello,

i have got this Cartool Plug an it does not fit to the socket on the Terra (listet as X9349B)

The socket on the Terra has another shape than the sockets on the BMW´s (on which the Cartool Plug fits!)

Does anyone know what type of plug is necessary to connect to the socket X9349B at the Terra?

There must be a fitting plug as it is used in the connection for the original heated grips, but where to get such part?
 
Important fact about socket X9220B!!!

There is no ground-wire on this socket!!!

Two wires: green-blue: 12 V (Nr. 02 on the yellow wire at the plug 83300402344)/white-blue: 10,4 V (Nr. 01 one the yellow wire at the plug 83300402344)

Don´t ask me why :eek:

Also the socket in the headlight has no ground-wire. I guess it was: purple-green: 4,99 V (Nr. 02 on the yellow wire at the plug 83300402344)/white-blue: 0,03 V (Nr. 01 one the yellow wire at the plug 83300402344)

So you can only use one wire for switched power and must use another place for ground (i took it directly from the battery).

Don´t connect the ground of your equipment to any wire of the sockets respectively the plug.
