TracerDoc Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Tried searching most results were older I could pull up. Any oem aux port we can use for power for lights in GT any bang for buck fog/aux lights you guys using/ like? Don’t want to spend $$$ which I might only use 3-5 times whole year.

TracerDoc Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 The search of old topics mentions about an aux access under the fairing and need a connector like these Motorcycle MT .090 Sealed Series - Connector and Terminals WWW.CYCLETERMINAL.COM Sumitomo - HM Sealed(Mounting Bracket type) and MT Sealed type Connectors for .090 - 2.3mm Terminal. These Connector s... is it still the same on new GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 If you take the screen off, and the screen mount underneath, there are four spare terminals for you to plug accessories into. They are inside a wide, plastic, flexible tube. Just pull them and decide whether you are going to try and source the equivalent mating sockets, or just cut them off and put your own connectors on. 1 1 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Awesome, thank you. Now for www search to see if any female / male socket to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) You don't really have to use the special connectors to wire-up using the plugs referred to: in my install I simply tapped into each of the two leads to each plug using a PosiTap device. Easy to use and work perfectly. Nor do you need to pay through the nose for your chosen lights. A quick E Bay search using '12v motorcycle fog/ spot lights' or similar wording will give scores of options, many very affordable. Like mine - AUD$39 the pair.

Burley Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I was thinking that $548 Canadian for the Yamaha fog lights is pretty steep. I ride all year long so would get good use out of them. Is there any advantage to the Yamaha lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are MANY threads on here discussing fog/driving lights and various mounting options. I bought Denali DRL's (from forum vendor Twisted Throttle) just to be more visible to oncoming drivers - I don't ride at night. Very high quality product, waterproof and they offer great product /customer support. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burley Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks -- I will cruise throught the threads and thanks for the advice. I suspected there was no great advantage with Yamaha for the lights. On my last bike (2015 FZ-07) I did buy the Yamaha heated grips which were a little more expensive than other after market products but not much and they created a more streamlined function and look but I don't see that being the case with lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a bracket for my FJ from AdventureTech... and according to their website they have one coming for the GT. Works very well, and of course you'll have many lamp options to choose from various sources. Poke the vendor and ask. Yamaha Auxiliary Lighting - AdventureTech, LLC.

Wintersdark Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Is that/are those auxiliary connectors switched? I just finished ordering a some mounting hardware and lights, with the intent to just tie into the high beam power.... But a quick look showed that's fraught with peril, and that the lighting circuitry should really not be monkeyed with. Looking at the costs to replace any of that if things go sideways quickly pointed out what a bad idea that would be. I'm not super interested in adding a physical switch, and would rather the extra light simply be on any time the key is on. The LED bar is 1.5A, so under the 2A limit for the aux connector, so if that's already switched it'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just like the 12v accessory socket, switched on with key. Behind the screen there are 3 additional power leads that you can use to wire in accessories. I use one for daytime running lights and another for my Garmin GPS. I love having easy access to switched power without tapping into a wiring harness! 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love having easy access to switched power without tapping into a wiring harness! Fantastic! I hate running so many leads off the battery, and faffing around with relays and such. So much nicer to just have leads handy right there that are already switched. I really appreciate all these little quality of life features on the Tracer. Otherwise I find I tend to end up with super cluttered handlebars with an assortment of different switches and lots of largely redundant wiring running the length of the bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
