Mobile phones, lights, and other things need power and motorcycles don't generally offer this - so this is a "HOW TO" guide to fitting a USB outlet to your bike the proper way directly to a battery including a fuse and switch.
Hope you learn something from it and it is useful E.R : )

I know this isn't a new video but I just wanted to say that you explained the wiring well. I consider myself mechanically inclined but definitely not electrically so. So many videos seem to gloss over the details that I desperately need. You got a new subscriber right here! Also, I just bought my 1st bike (cb500f) at the tender age of 40 and am looking for some smart mods!!!
Cool, thanks. The CB500F is possibly my favourite 500 bike. Enjoy it and thanks for the comment.
Loose the background music it's districting
Fair enough. I know in places it was a bit loud. Amateurs a! Lol
exeter rider yea it was a little good video tho very informative 👍🏻
@@pilgrim32mn Thanks mate. I took it in a constructive way.👍👍🍻
Great job! I really appreciate the way you explain things! Takes the intimidation factor out. Your reassuring and patient teaching method is inspiring. You explain things as if you would have liked someone to explain to you this way when you did for the first time! Love it!
Thanks👍😊🍻
Hi just finished doing it just like you and saved a packet of money. Top video. I’m only into my 3rd week of biking and love it. So wanna do the handle bar risers but looking at my cables they are all tucked away to neat and don’t know if I could do the job tbh. Especially if I have to change any of the cables.
Great to hear! You have so much to look forward too. Every ride is an adventure.... I'm glad it helped, thanks very much 👍🍻🙏
Clear and calm esp when drilling holes😂great channel
Thanks buddy
This is such a fantastic video thanks for the upload
Thanks very much 🙏😊
Great video sir! Absolutely perfect explanation for your everyday rider.
Thank you!
Thanks, glad it helped 😉
Nice job very neat 👍
Cheers Gary!
Thanks for another great video ER. Its given me the confidence to fit one to my bike as I can follow your instructions step by step. Ted
Hi bud, yes it's quite a simple job when it's broken down 👍
Thanks ExeterRider for another practical Vid!
I made the mistake of getting the Honda 12V outlet when I bought my NC750x as part of the comfort pack.
The Honda version is limited to just ONE amp, making it a useless waste of space!
Goin' to rip it out to put in something like this.
WHAT! 1 AMP! blimming useless. I'm glad you told me that because I was unaware. You pay enough for the comfort packs aswell, the least they can do is get you a decent charger.
Thanks for watching though. Much appreciate your time👍🍻
Well, I have been wondering about this. I think 4.2 amps is enough to fry most phones and accessories. 1A is about right really.
Thanks a lot! Perhaps It is easy, but if i can see how you did, becames more easy to me!
I thought it was easy to see how was it not.? I took it through the stages as best I could. I don't think anything is missed in the video for sure 👍🍻
Ye brilliant video, especially the switch terminal explanation, do not know how I didnt know that but I do now, many thanks.
Thankyou for watching mate👍🍻
No thanks for making it . I am sure I have fitted switches a long time ago and I had no idea about the connections like that, possibly I have tried it failed and then gave up or got lucky. However it is great to know and I need to fit the same set up to an old k100lt I bought 6 months ago to get it ready for some modern tech support for riding so super useful given that. Thanks for the great work.
nice one, but please don't use background music in your next video. don't know why people do it but I find it very annoying
This was my early days of filming, I agree I messed up there, apologies for that. I have since got alot better at this 👍
Don't get me wrong. I really like your video and I certainly watch more from you 👍
@@robchristiaanse No its fine I know you wasn't being nasty and I took it constructive Thankyou. Yes watch more would be great thanks for coming to my channel, I appreciate it 🙏👍🍻
Some honda's have a Option Plug (OP) or sometimes called Options Connector. You can save a lot of hassle by using it as this connector is already wired up to the battery and will automatically turn off when the bike isn't on etc.
Yeap, you right, I find thats on the higher premium bikes. The NC has nothing sadly. Good post though Thanks.
@@exeterrider I think my bike is lower tier being a cb500x but it has the OP connector luckily for me as I'm useless at stuff like this. Thanks for the tutorial though it was a good starting point.
@@GeordiLaForgery Ideal : ) No Worries
great vid on the install and looks really good but let down with battery terminals. would recommend putting some ring terminals like you talked about, more secure, easier to re-attach if you add more accessories in the future and little chance of corrosion causing a poor connection. loving the vids and the bike
Thanks mate, I fitted ring terminals after the lockdown was lifted just for the record 👍
P. S your profile picture & name is the best 😂😂
Very helpful and informative video, looking to do the same on my CTX700, Thanks for sharing 👍
Glad it was helpful! It's a nice edition even if I don't use it a huge amount👍
Absolutely fantastic tutorial
Thanks 🙏
Really well explained and illustrated. What are you doing next week?
Working sadly😭😂if I had my way I'd pop round yours and do it for free!
@@exeterrider lol thank you. I wish.
@@andrewwatkins5279 Me too : (
Very helpful but my klr650 has 4 places to wire up and it’s no where near straightforward unfortunately and the terminals aren’t clearly marked , so aggravating, but hopefully will persevere or pay someone to do it if I continue to loose my patience
All bikes are different, kawasaki and yamaha are more difficult to work on for sure.
Great video. Thanks I have the same model ! Cheers
Glad it helped
Nice one! Should be getting my NCS in a couple of weeks with the USB ports fitted by the dealer. I will check to see if it is switched and if not I will know what to do. 👍
Topman👍welcome to the club🍻🏍️ bear in mind if they tap into the switched live then it won't really need a switch. Great to have you on board 👍🍻
In my manual for my charger it says to wire into something connected to the ignition switch, but I’m not sure what wire to use. Is there a reason you didn’t do this here?
Yes because I didnt want to cut the wrong wire lol....much safer to do it direct then add a switch!
@@exeterrider Yea I went with the “auxiliary” wires in my headlight housing which seem to just be directly connected to the battery. I have a magnetic charging phone mount and it has a switch in the back, now I just have to remember to turn it off every time. First time I drain my battery I’m going to figure out how to wire up a relay =)
What Amp fuse are you using for USB charger? Thanks alot for video helpful alot.
Forgive me but I can't remember now. But it was only a tiny one. 2 amp perhaps. 👍
Great upload, thanks. Don't know much about eletrics, but why not use a relay instead of a switch? I bought a USB charger for the handlebar so looking at vids to help. I presume the wiring loom would be the same as yours, switching out the switch for a relay?
Yes I guess you could use a relay. I just kept it simple really. Infact since fitting it I've only used it twice anyway. Thanks for watching 👍📺
Great and useful content as usual, man...nice job! Crazy how even a video like this makes me want the NC as my second bike. I have an all-in-one phone mount/charger on my GS...came fully assembled, but I often think of adding a second USB. Is there a point where the battery gets overloaded by having more than one? I especially like the meter you have on yours, this makes me want to add the second one.
Thanks, it should be fine to add another on your bike. . They pull very little current, Mine is a double USB so might be easier to change yours for a double perhaps.
Your better running the red positive wire to a hot wire comming from the ignition . That way the plug only works once the ignition key is turned on. Less chan e of getting a flat battery. The earth black wire can ground on the chassis. This way you have less shit hanging off your battery poles.
Yes I didn't want to go digging around trying to find out which was the ignition wire in the harness which is done up tightly etc. Kept it simples. No can of worms wanted 😂😂👍
Proper job mate 👍😎
Thanks 🙏🍻👍
Thanks for the video!
Can you get a cable from the charger in the 'frunk' to the handlebars without making additional holes? Or there's no way to route it?
It would need to be additional holes with a grommet or mount external 👍
Why oh why do bike manufacturers not fit a usb port as standard on bike handlebars, capable of running necessary items like phones or heated gloves ? When will they learn?
Because if they do they can't charge it as a £300 pound extra😂
Yeah...for sure get ring terminals on those battery wires,you never see a manufacturer just wrapping wires around a connection...couple of tips,try and use blade fuse terminals,they are available with pigtails and don't have glass fuses.DC is negative and not neutral (that is for AC) and,its an LED not a neon.
Otherwise..all is well ;-)
Hi yeap all noted thanks, due to lockdown I couldn't get the terminals but now all sorted - it was just for the video. Thanks for watching
and this wont drain the battery at all when stored ? . just checking ofc since i will most likely be doing this then :) so thx alot for the explenation, made it look easy
Yeap its fine because the switch i fitted cuts all the power to the outlet ....so as long as there is a switch then no load will be drawn : )
wouldnt be better to wire it to the ignition?
Yes, but I didn't want to split the harness an be take that risk.
As it happens it makes no difference either way👍
1st. Nice video. 2nd. If you forget to turn the switch off, and there is nothing charging, will it drain the battery over night.?
Not over night but yes it needs to be off. I probably turned it off away from the camera.
Great video mate. What size fuse would you recommend for a 2 port 5a usb charger
Thanks, 2amp would be fine : )
Very useful, thanks :)
Nice video👌 I was wondering: I have an old honda xl 600r from '85. It only has a kickstart and a very small battery. Would a USB charger work on such a bike? Or does the battery size not matter??
My instant thought is yes it should be fine. But I would advise a professional second opinion 👍🍻
Thanks for the info music isnt that bad lol
All down to taste I guess. Next time I'll sing and see if people like it.
Many thanks for watching ; )
Brilliant video, thank u. Where did you get the on & off switch from please
I bought that from a DIY store. Most car parts places sell them. Thanks for watching the video.
Does it need a switch?
Mine has a built in one, it's better too have one yes.
Very good, subbed
Thankyou, great to have you on board
I want to install the plain 12v socket in my NC750X with the option to switch between a USB adapter or a 12v connection for other devices such as a air pump for camping mattress, will it still drain the battery if I don’t have anything plugged into it or will I still need a switch?
Depends what type you use. Inside it may have capacitors etc that can use a small amount in some cases. For what it takes for a switch. 👍🍻
Can I do this with a regulator cuz I don’t have a battery
No, I wouldn't advise it
kindly to inform me about usb charge hole size please
Hi, i can't remember sorry to say and mine is glued in now. I think it was about 22mm
Now all I have to do is gird my loins and get up the courage to tackle the fragile and extortionately expensive bodywork.
Where did I put my truss ? Come to think of it where did I leave my hammers ?
😂👍🍻
Pro tip: loose the depressing melody and lower its volume. If not for that the video would be excellent 😊
I totally agree!!! it was the early days and seemed like a good idea at the time...Thanks for watching...my vids are a lot better now promise!!
Its a very slow charging usb! It's 23w max compare to 140w-160w! 😭
It's still been OK for me tbh
What drill size is it cheers
Sorry I can't remember now. They are all different anyway, so buy it first and then see what you need is best.
@@exeterrider cheers anyhow mate
@@stevepest3184 anytime, I'll try to have an answer for you next time 😂
@@exeterrider lol I seen a few more videos there saying 30mm
@@stevepest3184 that rings a bell👍
Be sure to put a proper connector on that wire ASAP. The wire wound around the terminal may over heat when using the starter.
Will do mate, haveing said that I couldn't show it in the video but the battery clamp has a really good mechanism and is pretty much clamped the way it was before it had the wire in which itself has clamped quite flat. I take your point rjough👍🍻
@@exeterrider A better way would be to put solder on the wire and make it into a hook and clamp that. Loose wire clamped will spread out as tightened. when the starter is used a kick of something like 30amps comes through the battery terminal and stranded 5amp wire will fry.
Yea, once lock down is over I can get some ring connecters and shove on. It's surprising how good the connection is with the battery. It will be fine as a tempory measure 👍🍺
Nice video, "background" music is awful, to loud and you really don't need it.
Yeap agreed, apologies, it read the early days, it wouldnt happen now!
Why the dreadful music?
Yeap it was the early days of me editing. All RUclipsrs have to start Somewhere. Sorry😔👍
@@exeterrider Fair enough!
