rockinsv Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I was at the IMS show in Chicago and picked up a heated jacket. It will work two ways, back and chest off a lithium battery or if plugged into the bike the arms heat up also. This is my first foray into heated gear. Does anyone know if the FJ has enough charging power to handle the jacket ok? I currently have nothing else extra on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sirepair Posted February 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 I run my Warm-n-Safe jacket and gloves on my '15 without issues. Plenty of alt output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted February 17, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 From time to time I use my jacket, gloves, and pants. That’s in addition to my GPS. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member runnerhiker Posted February 19, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 19, 2019 I also run a heated liner (torso and arms) plus gps, no problems. BTW, Yamaha sells an accessory heated seat with about the same power requirement as my liner + gps. Just to give some supporting data. 2019 Tracer 900 GT Niwot CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member joeszup Posted February 21, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have heated grips (OEM), heated liner (Hotwired) and a heated seat (Corbin). With all three on, the charging system drops to ~14.1 from ~14.5 at idle. So if all you have is a jacket, then you should be fine. This is a GREAT video on checking your battery and charging system.

It seemed like a pretty good deal and got to take it on its first run yesterday. I live in Elkhart, IN, a couple hours away from Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted February 26, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 26, 2019 Your bike has plenty of juice to run your heated gear, unless you have a ton of other electrical devices already installed. You will love the heated gear, very toasty on cold days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luma46 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Just tried to use heated vest with my Tracer GT, plugged it into accessory outlet. No go, on return home found out the fuse was blown. Now, the fuse is 2A, which is ridiculously low, will work up to max 28W. My vest is 50W, so will try 5A fuse, hopefully it will not do any harm.

I connected my Keis jacket & insoles directly to the battery via a fused lead supplied with the jacket. I had a pigtail sticking out from under the seat. The wiring in the accessory socket is designed to supply phones & satnavs. The wiring might get hot if you stuff 50W through it. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a good idea. They put a 2amp fuse on that circuit for a reason. You'd be better off running a dedicated fused circuit straight off the battery.

carey Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I run a Gerbings heated jacket liner and Gerbings heated gloves, plus a Garmin GPS without problem. I have a volt meter installed to monitor everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
