gfventresca Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 This website is amazing! Thanks for all the great information that you guys share! I wanted to know if anyone knows how to install a second 12-volt outlet on my FJ-09? I don't know how to disassemble the front panel... Thanks! Gianfranco.

redfjniner Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Haven't seen anyone do this or post of doing it. Maybe you could be the first and post pictures of the process. Seams like it would be an easy one, plug and play type install similar to the heated grips, but easier. Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

Premium Member builderbob Posted October 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 3, 2015 It couldn't be easier. Some have said that you can remove the instrument cluster to get at the connections, but I removed the windshield and it's mounting plate to access them. Couple of plastic pop rivets to remove the cover around the location where the new socket will reside. Easy. Once you start, you'll figure it out.

bgigharbor Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Remove it the same way you do the larger ones. The others were easy as I could reach behind and push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you push the center part in it releases. Are you removing the wind screen and its associated parts? Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ULEWZ Posted April 9, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 9, 2016 Any tips on how to push out the center (white) pop rivet in dash cover?Push the center in, not out (will release the locking mechanism just like pulling it out) and you then use your fingernail to pop the entire fastener out. Note, you do not remove the center piece as some have alluded to. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

eeetea Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 No, easier than that. These are quick fasteners, no need to take the centre out. TO REMOVE Push the centre pin in - this releases the "legs" and allows you to pull the whole fastener out TO REPLACE Push the centre pin back so it protrudes beyond the front face (this also releases the legs) Place the fastner back into the hole and push the pin so it is flush with the surface - legs are now locked again Honda SS50, Kawasaki Z200, Honda 400/4, Yamaha TDM900, Yamaha XT660Z Tenere, KTM 990 Adventure, BMW R1200GS, Mr Stevens, and my favourite of all: Yamaha MT-09 Tracer...a bit like FJ-09 only properly named :¬P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been pushing the center up from behind which allows the whole thing to come out easily. I didn't realize that all I had to do was push the center in and the whole thing also came out. Thanks for straightening me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamahaforever Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Safe to assume there is a pre-wired connector waiting for the 2nd 12V outlet? I've thought of adding it, not sure if its really needed... but figured, WHY NOT?... super handy on a long trip. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3way Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 It's a good idea. Get a connector (pic2) and wire in to cigarette lighter socket. This will the plug into empty back socket behind dash. 102 pic 3 I the popped in a dual USB pic 1 so I can power phone, whilst using original cigarette lighter for my aging garmin.

Where did you get this connector? The only place that I found that sells them is in the UK and they do not ship to Canada. Do you have a US source?

K&L supply is the US distributor for OE Yamaha connectors and pins. They’re in CA. Don’t know what shipping to Canada would be sorry. -Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
