2020 Honda CT125 hunter Cub Trail - How To Fit 2 Port High speed USB Socket

- Ceck out my easy fitting guide on how to fit a USB socket to a Honda CT125 Hunter Trail Cub -Either the 2020 or the 2021 model.
Finally got around to connecting a USB high speed connector to the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub Trail. It was almost a straight fit into the existing socket with only a very slight mod to get the socket in place.
Not only is it a duel connector it also monitor the condition of your batter too.

Got my new bike today. Only rode it in parking lot at the dealership. It's freezing outside and wet.cant wait for a nice day. Orderd a USB port for it. I'm excited about the bike.
happy to hear. pretty sure you'll enjoy the experience. plus don't forget to do a couple of the early oil changes yourself for peace of mind too.
all the best from the land downunder
I watched a Japanese installation of the USB power supply they took off the headlight where there was a blue plastic connector, it was all plug and play.
I saw that also, looks to be an accy wire just for hooking things like this up.
yeah i know you can buy that unit for roughly AU$90 and i almost did a couple of weeks ago. i might even pull the headlight in the next day or so and look inside the headlight housing.
if you find that clip-just ad it to my clip so i can take a look
I hooked mine up to the headlight, there is no power to the headlight until the motor is running. No chance of running your battery down. Never hook directly to the battery without a switch in line. My USB charger powers up as soon as the bike is started, yet powers down when the bike is turned off. My USB charger also has a light in it, doesn't sound like much of a draw for that little light, but can drain your battery. Something to think about.....
@@TeamDNFracing thanks. i wll look into the headlight source of power. untill i conected this i was un der the impression this had a powr off but it appears it was the other version exactly the same...lol
@@TeamDNFracing Watching your channel now.
Thanks for the video, much appreciated warro. Looks like a great needed mod
i guess it will come in handy to help run some of the camera gear at times-hope so
That looks like a nice setup and I like that voltmeter function of the USB socket. I agree that an on-off button would be a good addition to the socket. Perhaps on your bike you could place a small on-off switch on one of the wires where they are exposed near the upper chassis tube. And if it was me, I would have placed a rag under the USB bracket that was being enlarged with your tool to capture the aluminum particles that were being tossed around by the grinder. Also, perhaps you might want to make another clip searching for that power connector inside the headlight shell that is mentioned by both Phil and Darren. A connector like that might be useful for another one of your future modifications or accessory additions. There might even be a way to extend that connector though the headlight with an SAE connector at the end to power other devices like heated gloves or an electric vest. With the voltmeter installed you could keep an eye on the charging system to make sure that it is not being overtaxed.
all good points there and i might actually go into the headlight area and check out this source for the connector point in question too.
Great install Warro!
thanks. happy to hear you enjoyed the clip
I've found the quad lock mounts to be the best, careful with direct connection to the battery, when I went camping I had my phone on charge overnight and drained the battery flat... took quite a while for it to build up enough charge from the alternator to kick over smoothly again, these batteries aren't really made to be deep cycled...It's handy to be able to charge your phone with the bike turned off though... maybe put a small switch somewhere or wire it to the ignition or lights circuit...
will keep it in mind
Another good vlog Warro, it’s too bad Honda didn’t put this into the electrical system to begin with on both the c125’s and toe CT’s. Maybe they will the future.
well at least they got it half way there-thy did put in the holder so they plan to run it as an option
Exactly how mine came -- bit too tight --- but they said it would fit a CT125 Trail by Honda, 2022 Model.
gives one a bit of work or something to do...lol
I've always wondered how long that battery would last because of the draw of the voltage reading on that device
as was said here there is some kind of a connector in the headlight bucket that makes it a "SWITCHED" device only giving power when the bike is on
I have always hesitated to put that USB socket directly connected to the battery because I know that if you leave that bike for a month I believe that even that small voltage meter with the light on the USB socket could drain the battery enough so that you cannot start the bike. I'm anxious to hear what you and others think about that.
Another great video and that USB socket will be the first thing I will install on the bike
I have to have power to my phone and GPS just like you
thank you for sharing that with us
just remember with this bike-in the early days i did totally remove the battery from the bike completely then kick started the bike twice so even if it did flatten it -no real harm done.
but saying that i did see others on ebay with a power on/off switch-that is the way i'd go now but this is the only one i saw with battery voltage
@@ridewithwarro it's all good.... mine should be coming in the next few weeks... excited about your suspension upgrade... might be following you in THAT venture, as well... thanks for everything
im checking out that battery drain situation with this bike. at the momemt its still showing the same output from the instal. take into account to i did do a clip on this bike where i pulled the battery totally from the bike and started it up twice.
that may not be possible with other bikes but i did it on this one.
back to the shocks. not sure if you'd have to go this far but once i get around to the installation i guess we will see if they are worth the price or not...lol
@@Gregs_World by then i should know if the outlay was worth the trouble or not and some-one may have other althernatives too.
always choices on this place
Hay warrior, connected to the acc on the ignition on off side, because it will flatten your battery in a day or so There is a acc wire off the ignition. I have connected up heated gripes on my mate New ct 125
might take a look at that source. thanks
Hi Warro, many years ago I had both CT90’s and 110,S. Casually watching your videos and you inspired me to order a new one in Melb. Should be here next week. So on the USB topic. Two options I can see. Buy the quad lock with charger built in ( and wire that back to an on off location) or do what you have done. Question is you have spoken about a really good USB port at $90. Which is this one and will it plug and play in the location hole? Or does it need a bigger than std hole? Did you ever look in your headlight to see if it has the blue plug in there?
the $90 unit i spoke about i saw on ebay AU and it was located in Japan. it was a direct plug and play fit to the headlight housing wiring harness.
ive never looked inside the headlight as i have to remove all the headlight frame racks etc. although i thought some-one actually did take a look and there was no wire to fit it inside.
the unit i bought appears to work fine for $20 and has that on/off cut out so still happy with that idea
Thanks for the video, just installed mine today. Do you know what the red connector is for on the front of the battery cover?? I have no idea.
i'd say just some kind of a fuse block
Thank you!
i put a 2 port usb hub on my CT 110 also.i have my bike cam hooked up to it so i just switch it on and the camera comes on
pretty cheap and handy little mod to the bike. it may come in handy considering how many flat batteries i get with the adventure style cameras
All ways useful USB port on a motorcycle...I've got one on my Royal Enfield Bullet. Keep well and bye for now Stuart 🙂🇬🇧. Oh I forgot to ask did you put an in-line fues on your USB? Mine only comes on when the ignition is turned on.
inline 10amp fusewasincluded with the usb kit so all good there.
It's a nice USB charger with the volt meter,even do it's made in bloody China.Every dam thing is made in China.What is the world coming to?I have one, got it off Lazada for my bike.After riding for an hour plus,I gate a full charge.I gest it's not to bad for the price.You have a good one mate.
yeah i think $20 was a pretty cheap price to pay compared to some of the stuff i have purchased...lol and like you mentioned not muc you can do about all the stuff coming from chinaor we might have nothing to buy...lol
i dont think my bike even has a socket mount?
that socket is draining alittle power but it can be kick started if flat. meanwhile i have ordered another socket with on/off switch which may be a better option.
either way i think its a pretty good idea to have one
Don't connect your USB charger to your battery directly ,it will drain your battery.Connect it to your enigation switch so you can use the key as an on and off switch. Used the charger onley when the bike is running/started.Using it with the engine off will drain the battery.Your USB charger dozen have an on off switch.
yeah i might look into that side of it too.
